Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender, usually as a result of a specific strain or overuse. Although it is called "tennis elbow", it should be noted that it is not restricted to tennis players. If one hyperextends an elbow in any sport, this may be classified as tennis elbow. Anyone who does a lot of work involving lifting at the elbow or repetitive movements at the wrist is susceptible to tennis elbow. The condition was first described in 1883. The medical term is lateral epicondylitis.

Tennis Elbow symptoms include:

  • Pain on the outer part of elbow (lateral epicondyle).
  • Gripping and movements of the wrist hurt, especially wrist extension and lifting movements.
  • Tenderness to touch, and elbow pain on simple actions such as lifting up a cup of coffee or throwing a baseball.
  • Pain usually subsides overnight.
  • If no treatment given, can become chronic and more difficult to eradicate.

If conservative treatment measures fail, release of the common extensor origin may be helpful. It may be undertaken under general anaesthesia or regional block. However drastic measures such as surgery can be avoided if less intrusive therapies prove effective.

The Xtensor is a device that helps to reduce or eliminate pain associated with tennis elbow. To maintain a healthy, normal balance, The Xtensor conditions the Finger Extensor Muscles and increases their ability to handle the stress placed on them during the daily activities that contributed to the problem in the first place. The Xtensor works quickly to develop the Strength and Endurance of the Finger Extensor Muscles providing the necessary stabilizing effects to reduce the risk of Tendonitis in the Wrists and Elbows.

The Xtensor is the first product able to precisely target and strengthen the Finger Extensor Muscles while also providing a full, natural path of motion necessary for stimulating the muscles in the elbow. Using The Xtensor strengthens muscles virtually off limits to all other devices.
