More electro-acupuncture!!⚡️⚡️

Specifically, I'm stimulating the brachioradialis muscle on myself. Brachioradialis is one of the superficial muscles on the forearm that helps flex the elbow as well as assisting pronation and supination of the wrist.

When stimulating it's motor point, the actions of this muscle is apparent. This is may be a useful point to stimulate for any lateral elbow pain.

Share this with a friend and save for later if you have elbow pain. :)

PS. Please ignore my face, I don't know what was up with me that day 😅😂😂😂
