General consideration III
- Symptom
- Elbow pains found with tennis players are felt at the outer side of the elbow. The formal name of this injury is lateral humeral epicondyle. This type of injury is further divided into "forehand tennis elbow" and "backhand tennis elbow", which ache in forehand strokes and backhand strokes, respectively. A forehand tennis elbow hardly aches with a backhand stroke. A backhand tennis elbow on the other hand hardly aches with a forehand stroke. However, both types of elbow pain ache at the same region, which is called "lateral epicondyle" of elbow.
- Tamatare Remedy
- To cure this problem of tennis elbow, Tamatare Remedy recovers the coordination between the pronator muscle and the supinator muscle mainly by restoring the metabolism efficiency of the extensor muscles. On the other hand, in order to cure elbow problems of baseball players, Tamatare Remedy extends the motion range of the blade bone by the joint alignment technique, recovers the moter reflex of the biceps brachii muscle and the triceps brachii muscle, and restores the metabolism efficiency of the shoulder muscles.
- Details
- Both types of elbow pain are felt at the same region, which is called "lateral epicondyle" of elbow. However, an X-ray examination at the region does not reveal any problem. A joint pain whose region does not have any physical abnormality is called a "reflex pain", which is characteristic of the tennis elbow pain. The cause of a tennis elbow is fast rebounds of the tennis racket after strong strokes. This problem initiates with a pain in the brachioradialis muscle—an extensor muscle, and then the supinator muscle and the pronator muscle lose their strength. An action that damages this muscle group most is an excess brake. Since tennis games are played with inside and outside rotations of the upper limbs within 120-degree adduction angles of the triangular muscle and the pectoral major muscle, problems in "inversion of chronic functions of muscle" are not basically found. Elbow pains of baseball pitchers are completely different from those of tennis players in their cause and aching region. Elbow pains of baseball players occur at the inner side of the elbow joint. Its official name is "medial epicondylitis". The problematic region of the baseball elbow is the medial epicondyle, while that of tennis elbow is the lateral epicondyle. The cause of the elbow pain of a baseball pitcher is completely different from the case of tennis. It is caused by improper coordination of the triceps brachii muscle and the biceps brachii muscle, which are the extensor muscle and the flexor muscle among the brachial muscle group. This problem is caused by muscle acceleration. It brings pains and discomfort when a pitching is made with an upper arm lower than the usual position. If this manner of pitching is repeated, the problem develops. This pitching form indicates inhibition of "inversion of chronic function muscle". This is because the elbow position is lowered if the arm position is lowered in pitching, which indicates a large shift of the motor point, which in turn indicates degradation of the upper limb muscle group.
