Live: Wrist & Elbow Workshop

Duration: 2 hours
Date: Saturday, 7th of September 2024
Time: 09:30 - 11:30
Location: 54 Regent Road, Studio 7, Sea Point 

In this workshop, you will learn about the many causes of wrist and elbow pain, and their relationships to trigger points or myofascial blockages and neuromuscular dysfunction.

Elbow and wrist pain can be disruptive, affecting everyday activities that rely heavily on these joints. Common causes of such discomfort include repetitive motion, overuse injuries, inflammation, and conditions like tennis or golfer's elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome. The elbow, a hinge joint, facilitates movements crucial for daily tasks, while the wrist, a complex joint, plays a pivotal role in various fine motor skills. Repetitive motions or improper ergonomics can lead to strain on the tendons and ligaments surrounding these joints, resulting in pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Identifying the specific activities or conditions contributing to the discomfort is key to effective management.

Tight muscles that have neuromuscular blockages can make you susceptible to injuries and chronic problems and in turn these injuries can cause further trigger points in the muscles that are compensating and assisting, leading to a cycle of pain.

Clients suffering from elbow, wrist or hand pain, very often may be diagnosed with general terms such as arthritis, tendinitis, or tennis elbow syndrome without the true cause being identified. Trigger points or neuromuscular blockages in one or more muscles may often provide much relief.

Learn to test the functional neurology of the shoulder to identify the neuromuscular causes of pain in the wrist and elbow.
