NO! Despite the name - Tennis Elbow - is not limited to tennis players.

It is a common overuse injury that affects the tendons on the outside of your elbow. Repetitive movements can strain these tendons, leading to pain, stiffness, & weakness in your grip.

๐Ÿ›กPrevention is Key๐Ÿ”‘
๐ŸŸ  Warm-up before physical activity
๐Ÿ”ต Stretch & Strengthen your forearm & wrist muscles
๐ŸŸ  Practicing proper form when lifting or sports
๐Ÿ”ต Take regular breaks from repetitive tasks
๐ŸŸ  Listen to your body - don't push through pain

Tennis elbow is common - but it's not inevitable. With awareness & prevention strategies, you can protect your joints & keep doing the activities you love, ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ-๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ

When training volume or intensity spikes too quickly, the risk of overuse injuries like; stress fractures, tendinopathies, or growth plate issues rises significantly.
