Saint Sylvester, or New Year’s Eve is commemorated twice, once according to the Gregorian calendar on 31 December and again according to the Julian calendar on 13 January. The Silvesterkläuse put on their strange costumes and, ringing huge bells and singing a very slow yodel, deambulate in small groups from house to house, to wish the people a happy new year.
Silvesterklaus is a masked person taking part in Saint Sylvester's Day festivities in Appenzell, Switzerland, and thus contributing to maintain the Chlausen tradition. A Silvesterklaus or New Year’s Mummer (Chlaus in Swiss German) is dressed up as a Saint Sylvester or New Year’s Eve character. In the Reformed half-canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, the turn of the year is still celebrated in this way.

Tennis Elbow Treatment Solution Part 3
Solution: The most effective method to treat tennis elbow pain is Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) which restores the muscle balance at the shoulder (also upper arm) and eliminates symptoms at the elbow. The biggest advantage of MAT is that it also targets other areas of the body (core, hip, glutes and leg muscles) that give support to both the shoulder and elbow.
3 Simple Ways to Treat Tennis Elbow Part 2
It makes sense when you realize shoulder and upper arm muscles are bigger than the forearm muscles. Overuse and strain occur at the forearm muscles where they attach at the elbow when the bigger muscles (shoulder and arm) do not move the arm and racquet as intended. The smaller forearm muscles over work to properly position the racquet causing tightness, strain and eventually tennis elbow pain.
3 Simple Treatments For Tennis Elbow
3 Simple Treatments for Tennis Elbow,
1.Check For Proper Tennis Racquet Fit
2.Improve Tennis Techniques
3.Restore Muscle Balance at the Shoulder
A tennis racquet that is too heavy, head too small, string tension too tight or grip not correct can create excessive stress or pain during play at the elbow and shoulder.
Solution: To ensure you are using a racquet that fits your skill level and body, check with an experienced tennis instructor who can accurately advise you.
Proper Technique
Understanding proper footwork, body positioning, grip and handling of the racquet during play is critical to creating solid returns and minimizing stress at the elbow where forearm muscles attach. Good technique elevates your on-court performance while minimizing the chances of tennis elbow pain and other injuries.
Solution: Find a knowledgeable tennis instructor to teach you proper body movements, grip and handling of the racquet for your intended serve and returns.
The best instruction and tennis racquet can’t overcome muscle imbalances that cause body movement compensations and subpar technique resulting in tennis elbow pain and other injuries.
Muscle Balance
Muscle imbalances can cause you to struggle with generating power, good footwork, body positioning and skillfully handling the racquet. This simply means some muscles work great while others work less creating difficulty coordinating required body movements for both good set up and racquet technique.
Imbalances also lead to tight muscles that slow you down, sore joints, pain and injury. A perfect example of what muscle imbalances create is tennis elbow pain.
It is common for tennis elbow pain to linger even after rest, icing, medication, injections, stretching, strengthening, and bracing because the real muscle imbalance is at the shoulder!
