#taping tennis elbow with athletic tape

[drandrewstherapeuticblogs]

How to heal tennis elbow fast?

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, can be extremely painful. There are several tactics that can aid in hastening the healing process by strapping tennis elbow, though there is no one magic cure.

Rest: Refrain from engaging in activities that make the condition worse and give the affected area as much time as possible to rest. Inflammation will be lessened, and further injury will be avoided.

Ice: Several times a day, apply ice to the injured area for 15-20 minutes at a time. Pain and inflammation may be lessened as a result.

Compression: Applying a strap or bandage around the injured area can help reduce swelling and offer support.

Physical therapy: Create an exercise and stretching routine with the help of a physical therapist to help strengthen the injured muscles and increase range of motion.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): ibuprofen and naproxen, two over-the-counter drugs, can help to lessen pain and inflammation.

Injections of corticosteroids may be suggested in severe cases to treat pain and reduce inflammation.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT): ESWT is a minimally invasive procedure that employs shock waves to promote healing in the injured area.

It is crucial to remember that while these tactics can speed up the healing process, there isn't a single approach that will be effective for everyone. The best course of action is to collaborate with a healthcare expert to create a thorough treatment plan that is specific to your needs.

Pressure for you in America was at an all-time high, and now you’re in Japan, where almost no one knows you, or your family’s past.

Warnings/Genre: This piece will feature some angst and reference to an abusive parent, if you are ever worried about other tw’s feel free to send me an ask and I will let you know. There will also be fluff, slight angst, pining, and slowburn.

A/N: Had to write this chapter three times because somehow everything kept getting deleted!! I’m sorry for my inconsistent posting. Please leave comments, reblog, or send me asks if you like! They always keep me motived :)

(masterlist)

When you came back out for dinner, Bakugou was already sitting at the head of the table, eating away, and chatting away with Kirishima and Sero. To his left was an empty seat, but a plate filled with food.

I wonder if Bakugou made that or if someone nicer prepared it, you wonder as you and Ashido made your way to the table. If Bakugou made it, then damn. However, you wouldn’t be surprised if Kirishima made it or Kaminari who was on dish cleaning duty and needed to put away the leftovers. Regardless of who did it, they still sat you down next to Bakugou in your usual seat.

Don’t read into that, you told yourself as your sat down at the table. Instead, you focused on the delicious food in front of you that you immediately began to chow down on. You found yourself, much like Bakugou, simply eating away while Ashido, Kirishima, and Sero kept the conversation going. Both of you were much too hungry to stop and add your own commentary to the conversation.

Bakugou finished before you and chugged down his water before taking both yours and his glass to the kitchen to fill them back up. Gratefully, you mumbled out a “Thank you” before you continued to eat. Play it cool, he’s just being polite, you told yourself and Ashido proceeded to elbow you and wink.

You rolled your eyes at the pink girl and focused back on what was left on your plate.

Conversation flowed easily until Bakugou came back. The blond placed the cups onto the table before holding up his arms and stretching in a way that clearly showed his stomach. At this point, each of you were still in casual athletic clothes and his simple t-shirt lifted just enough to show his stomach.

It was an action you should be used the at this point. The blond often stretched without a care or used his quirk in ways that ruined clothing. And yet, you still found your face heating up and your eyes glued to the sight.

When he finally sat back down, he leaned in close to you. “I’m ready to go whenever,” He explained before leaning back into his chair and sipping on his water.

“Go where?” Sero, who was to Bakugou’s immediate right, questioned.

You looked to Bakugou, expecting him to reply. Not only were you hesitant to explain the situation and possibly misunderstand what Bakugou was thinking, but the blond typically made habit of answering anyways.

“The gym for yoga and cardio,” Bakugou explained, just like you expected. Luckily, it wasn’t any different than what you thought.

“Really?” Kirishima questioned, his eyes lighting up. “That sounds so manly!” He turned to look at Ashido, “Do you want to go do yoga and cardio too?”

“Um,” Ashido immediately turned to you, concerned that she and Kirishima would be intervening on your alone time with Bakugou.

Part of you wanted to welcome the company, ultimately nervous about having to hold up a conversation when neither you nor Bakugou were all too talkative. However, you spent hours alone with Bakugou each week and it wasn’t awkward then so why would it be different?

Bakugou also hates how couple-y they are so he may be more inclined to talk to me and spend time with me if they are there doing PDA, you thought before subtly nodding to Ashido.

“I’d love to go if Bakugou and Y/L/N don’t mind,” Ashido finally spoke after a few moments.

“I don’t care,” Bakugou measly replied.

“What about you, Sero?” Kirishima questioned, “Do you want to go too?”

“No way,” The black-haired boy replied, leaning back in his chair. “I had interning today and had to chase a villain down seven blocks, ugh!”

“Weren’t you using your tape though?” Ashido shot back curiously.

“So? It still drains me and my poor arms. I could not do yoga like this.” Sero flailed his arms around before letting them fall to his sides, effectively showing how absolutely dead they were. “I’ll just stay here with Kaminari and make him watch the new season of Galactic Guard again or whatever.”

“Your loss,” Kirishima jokes before chuckling lightly. “I’m going to go get changed, be down soon.”

Ashido followed him with the same explanation.

Awkwardly, you looked at Sero, expecting him to say something. You and Bakugou were already changed and had your waters with you, there was no reason for you to go upstairs. Unfortunately, due to the silence and the awkward atmosphere of a nervous you and an ever-rigid Bakugou, the black-haired boy immediately slid out of his seat, claiming to need water. However, you watched as he dropped his empty glass on the counter and simply talked to Kaminari.

You rolled your eyes and took a sip of your water, wishing there was more to do. Thinking on your feet, you stood up abruptly. “I’ll clear the dishes,” You said before stacking the plates and silverware. “Do you want your water anymore?”

Bakugou shook his head so you proceeded to grab his water, place it into your cup, and make your way to the kitchen slowly.

Kaminari and Sero greeted you happily and Kaminari immediately took your dishes.

Their rather boring conversation did not leave room for you to interject, so you simply made your way back to the dining table. Sighing, you grabbed your half-full water and reached for Bakugou’s as well. The blond watched you wordlessly.

You wondered if his lack of comment was a bad thing or if it showed comfortability and a willingness to let you touch his belongings.

As you debated the notion, you silently, almost like you were on autopilot, filled up the waters, and went back to the table. With nothing left to do, you sat back down into your seat and awaited the arrival of Kirishima and Ashido

“Thank you,” Bakugou said as you sat down with the two glasses of water.

“No problem” You replied. Despite this comment being typical for literally anyone to say, it still felt nice for him to say thank you. Maybe it was because he rarely used his manners.

Bakugou grabbed his water from the table and put it back into his bag. The two of you sat in a comfortable silence as you waited for Ashido and Kirishima. The only noise was the people talking in the kitchen and the small group watching television in the living room.

A few minutes passed by before the couple finally emerged from the elevator and greeted you both with wide smiles. Kirishima had on black basketball shorts with a red stripe down the side as well as a red hoodie. Ashido adorned a matching two-piece set of leggings and a conservative sports bra that was cheetah print. She also had on a black zip-up jacket that was currently wrapped around her waist.

You and Bakugou quickly got up from your seats, grabbed your belongings, and slowly made your way to the door. Ashido was by your side while Kirishima ran the kitchen to fill up his and Ashido’s waters. The pink girl moved from being attached to Kirishima’s side and was now attached to yours.

Giggling, she whispered in your ear, “Yet another double date!”

Sheepishly you rolled your eyes and dismissed the thought. “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.”

“What?” Ashido questioned, moving away from you to give you a confused look.

“What do you mean ‘what’?” You shot back.

“I mean,” She began, emphasizing her words, “What does that even mean?”

“What does what mean?” You replied, absolutely clueless to the confusion.

“She’s asking what ‘don’t count your chickens before they hatch’ means,” Bakugou butted in as he stood opposite you by the front door. “Personally, I think it’s rather obvious.”

“Oh, shut it, Bakugou!” Ashido exclaimed, giving the blond a dirty look.

Laughing, you explained, “It’s just an American saying.” You debated how exactly to explain it before once again continuing, “Just because you have, say, 10 chicken eggs, 2 could break before they hatch and 3 more could be simply eggs, no baby in them. So, they saying means that you shouldn’t expect something until it happens. You can’t expect to have 10 chickens just because you have 10 eggs.”

Ashido harrumphed, clearing having trouble understanding. “Sounds dumb.” Something you also expected her to say considering she was the one ‘counting her chickens before they hatched’.

You shrugged, “It’s hard to understand sayings from other countries if you didn’t grow up around them. I’m sure some common Japanese sayings don’t make sense to me.”

At this point, Kirishima joined back in and made quick work of putting on his tennis shoes.

“My mom used to always say ‘even monkeys fall out of trees’ when I made mistakes,” Ashido explained, testing you to see if you would understand a common Japanese phrase.

“Everyone makes mistakes,” You replied after a few seconds to think it over.

“Dang!” Ashido replied as the four of you made your way out of the dorm and to the gym.

“What about this one,” Bakugou interjected. “My dad would say this all the time, ‘the stake that sticks up gets hammered down.’”

Oh, this one is definitely more complicated.

You tried working through the saying out in your brain, sure it had someone to do with being seen in society. “Um,” You began, “The person who stands out will…” You paused, unsure how to finish. Sighing, you shrugged your shoulders, “I don’t know.”

“Ha Ha!” Ashido shouted in joy. “It means the person who stands out is often subject to criticism.”

You nodded your head in understanding as she explained.

“How were you so good at those?” Kirishima asked.

“Well, word association is taught in elementary schools,” You explained, reminiscing on the problems you solved in second grade. “For example, we would get something like “cow is to barn as man is to ‘blank’ and we would have to fill it in.”

Ashido and Kirishima proceeded to exclaim “house!” while Bakugou simply nodded, actions that represented each of them rather well.

“Nice!” You laughed, high-fiving the two who guessed.

You rounded the corner at this point, entering one of the school buildings with multiple classrooms. You followed the group as they made their way upstairs and weaved through hallways. Fairly naturally, the conversation died down as the couple of Ashido and Kirishima clung to each other and dawdled behind.

Aggravated, Bakugou led your group, clearly annoyed with how slow they were. Honestly, you were pretty sure Ashido planned this so you could have alone time with the blond.

Trying to utilize this opportunity, you kept stride with the blond. “Pretty annoying, huh?” You asked, gesturing to the couple and silently apologizing for throwing them under the bus and using them as a conversation starter.

“Aren’t they always?” Bakugou replied, looking to the couple before rolling his eyes and groaning.

“Sometimes they are cute,” You shrugged, flashing a smile to the blond. “At least they’re happy, you know?” You asked, attempting to reason with them.

Bakugou simply “tsked” in reply. “Doesn’t mean they aren’t making me nauseous.”

“Very true,” You responded, unable to stop yourself from chuckling loudly. “Especially when they talk in baby voices and make little smooching noises!” You altered your voice slightly to mimic Ashido’s baby voice that you hear her only use with Kirishima.

Bakugou cackled loudly at the comment, clearly amused by your impersonation. “Or when they go off to each lunch by themselves, cuddling under a tree, and then coming back like giddy teenagers,” He added.

“Oh, yeah!” You animatedly exclaimed, “How could I forget? Kirishima ends up staring out the window all of class!”

As your laughter died down, the two of you arrived at the double doors that led to the small gym. Luckily, no one else was inside due to how late it was. In fact, you four might be here past curfew. Despite this, you entered into the gym which had a few different weight machines and treadmills as well as a room to the left that was dim and specifically designed for yoga.

You knew this was the gym that Ashido frequently used late at night but weren’t familiar with the layout. Slowly, you put down your belongings, chugged down a few gulps of your water and made your way into the yoga room. The room had too large baskets on wheels that came up to about your waist. Inside, were blue and white yoga mats with the school’s logo on it. It was for student use and cleaned every week, a small perk for going to such a prestigious hero school. By the time you grabbed a mat, you heard the large metal and glass doors once again opening. Waiting for the couple, you rolled out your mat and brought your water to your side.

Although you did yoga frequently and could easily start your own routine, you figured the four of you would want to do a routine together. Once inside, Kirishima and Ashido quickly came into the yoga room and set up mats.

“I’ll hook up my phone to the projector so we can play a video,” Ashido explained as she plugged her phone into a wire that connected to the projector.

You watched the pink girl search up a yoga routine that was primarily focused on stretching the body pre-workout. The video was about half an hour-long, so you simply prepared yourself by sitting on your knees and waiting for the introduction to finish.

Yoga went by rather quickly, which each of you silently following the video. You were all in your own worlds, thinking about your own problems or simply letting your mind go black as you followed the routine. You could tell it was something your mind and body was craving after a long day of theorizing and sitting at the desk.

Once the routine finally ended, you let out a big breath and stretched your body one final time before grabbing your water bottle to drink from. “Ah, that was so good!” You sighed, completely satisfied.

Kirishima and Ashido hummed in agreement as they rolled up their mats.

“And now it’s time to put that stretching to good use,” Bakugou added, as he passed by you with his own rolled mat. He grabbed yours, which you just finished rolling, and went to put them away. Once done, he made his way back to you and held out his hand to help you up. “Shall we go run?” He asked while he effortlessly pulled you up.

“We shall,” You replied, a wide smile on your face.

Bakugou had never, not even when he was kicking your ass in training, helped your up or touched your hand. Immediately, you felt heat spreading up your face and your heart beating faster.

Ashido, who was putting her own yoga mat into her bag eyed you suspiciously. Subtly, you gave her a surprised look and shrugged your shoulders. Bakugou inevitably let go of your hand after you were standing up straight. He was surprisingly warm and you held quickly went cold without his touching.

In an attempt to play everything off cool, you simply followed behind him, grabbing your bag and moving to the treadmill next to his. You placed your belongings down, took one last gulp of water, and got onto your treadmill.

Bakugou, who had already started, was going at a slow pace and you decided to follow in line with him. The slow speed was an ideal way to warm up your body and prepare you for a faster pace.

You didn’t have to wait long, however, because Bakugou soon sped up his treadmill by two. He gave you’re a clear look and you didn’t even have to take out your earbuds to know he was subtly saying there is no way in hell you will run faster than me.

After a few more strides, you also increased your speed, clicking three times to be running one faster than him.

Almost immediately, Bakugou gave you another look and increased his speed. This game of tug-of-war continued for a few minutes, each of you slowly increasing your speed in order to one-up the other. It was fun when you started slow, and you even found yourself smiling when you were running at a speed just below a sprint. However, you were now sprinting at a breakneck pace and craving this game to stop.

You once again, and quite stubbornly, pressed the up arrow to increase your speed.

Bakugou attempted to groan under his breath, but he was going too fast to have control over his voice and you clearly heard the roan of indignation. The blond pressed his finger onto the up arrow and increased his speed just as he had done before. This time, however, he notably did not go past your speed.

The both of you were now running at the same speed, and although you were tempted to go up at least one more to irk Bakugou, you knew it was best not to. It was all down to endurance now.

You focused your attention on running, moving your arms to help your speed, and focusing on your breathing to make sure you were taking in big and consistent breaths.

“Woah, Bakugou and Y/N-chan!” Kirishima’s voice rang through your ears. Despite only being two treadmills over and a total of 12 feet, you could barely hear him. “So manly!” If you were looking at him, you would see him send a cheeky smile to Ashido before increasing his own speed.

However, you were all too involved in your own competition to worry about him.

You felt your legs burn and crave for a break. You felt so hot that you were sure you were steaming. In fact, you saw steam.

Steam? You looked to your left from where it was coming and saw steam emitting from Bakugou’s palms. You could have gasped in surprise if you weren’t so already short on breath. The next thing to smelled was an intense caramel. Or is it burning sugar? You questioned as you realized it was coming from the blond next to you.

It smells so sweet, you thought, clearly distracted. It made you think of caramel apples at amusement parks, chewing on the delectable treat as you walked around, surrounded by vibrant lights.

You inhaled deeply, trying to take it all in. Suddenly, you tripped. The floor fell out from under you, and you did not have enough speed or traction to keep up. Quickly, you clutched onto the railings and got back up to speed. The difficult action, which would surely leave bruises on your arms, lasted only a few seconds. Although Bakugou noticed, he didn’t say anything, so you simply kept up with running.

However, now your body ached even more. All you wanted to do was stop and you couldn’t drag your brain away from the idea. You felt your limbs begging to slow down and you could no longer deny the request. Reluctantly, you slowed down the treadmill with a sigh. Bakugou immediately noticed the action and shot his arms up with a small “woop!” in excitement.

At least seeing him so excited was worth it, you thought as you finally stopped the treadmill.

With exhaustion running through your veins, you got off the treadmill and made a beeline to your water. Your legs gave out and you sat against the wall, arching your back to give your lungs room. You chugged a few gulps of the cool beverage before you brought your hands above your head. It was the best way to get air into your lungs and control your breathing again.

Bakugou quickly joined you, copying your actions but while standing up.

“Good job, guys!” Ashido exclaimed, giving you both a thumbs up as she jogged at a much more reasonable pace.

You returned the gesture before grabbing your water again. Slumped up against the wall, you closed your eyes. Mentally, you made a note to not go out running tomorrow.

While you rested, you heard Ashido and Kirishima turn off their treadmills and join you against the wall. They chatted amongst themselves while Bakugou sat next to you.

Immediately, the caramel smell emitting off him wafted into your noise and filled your senses with euphoria and anxiety. He smelled so good, and yet you were certain he was much closer to you now. You could practically feel his body heat against your left arm.

The chatter from Ashido and Kirishima provided white noise, while Bakugou’s sweet aroma and warm body provided the ultimate guide to sleep. Your tired body craved it and you slowly felt yourself falling deeper and deeper.

Too tired to notice, you slowly leaned to the left, your shoulder eventually touching Bakugou’s. It was slight, a small brush of skin, but the blond immediately noticed the action, who stared at your sleeping body which found comfort in the purchase of his body.

You weren’t sure how much time passed when you were woken back up. In fact, you didn’t realize you fell asleep until you were waking up and opening your eyes to the sight of Bakugou’s own crimson orbs.

Quickly, you noticed the feeling of a warm arm against yours and moved abruptly away.

You could feel the heat spread from your neck to your cheeks and ears. If you weren’t in such shock, you would have also been certain that Bakugou’s own cheeks blushed pink. You shook your head in confusion, pushing away the ridiculous thoughts that came to mind.

“S-sorry!” You stuttered out, your voice barely emitting a sound.

“It’s fine,” Bakugou confidently laughed, brushing off the topic. “I just thought you would want to head back soon since you are falling asleep.”

“Uh, yeah,” You mumbled, “Thanks.” Looking away, you set your eyes on all your belongings and began picking them up. Sometimes it was difficult to look him in the eyes. Despite how warm and entrancing they were, they made you feel hot all over and spread nerves all throughout your body. You swallowed the lump in your throat as you stood all the way up and awaited Bakugou.

It only took a moment for the blond to stand upright after you. Gingerly smiling, you turned and made your way to the door.

“You guys coming?” Bakugou asked, walking backward so he could face the couple.

“Later,” Ashido mumbled, waving him away as she continued to smile at her boyfriend.

Bakugou hummed in acknowledgment and turned to you, a signal to open the door into the empty hallway.

“Today was fun,” You remarked, sparing a glance at the blond as the metal door eased closed. “Although I am sure tomorrow will be tough.” You paused, thinking over your schedule, “At least I only have class tomorrow.”

Although you were too nervous to look long, you saw the blond smile shyly and nod his head. “Yeah, I’m just glad I am done with the assignment due in English tomorrow.”

“Ah,” You replied, “How I wish I only had English assignments instead of extra Japanese assignments.”

“You’ll need to learn if you plan to stay here,” Bakugou remarked.

You scoffed, “I would argue that my Japanese was quite good already.” Rolling your eyes, you spared a teasing smile to him.

“What about when you are given a paper report and expected to read it all in minutes? Or when you have to write a report after a mission?” Bakugou shot back.

You groaned loudly, simply imagining how torturous a kanji-filled report that you would need to run through quickly. “Maybe you’ll be nice enough to write my reports for me?” You joked, opening your eyes and pouting in an attempt to look cute.

Bakugou blew air out his nose in a short laugh. “Bold of you to assume that I would even hire you to work at my agency.”

“Rude,” You replied, knowing full well that this was all a joke. “I think I would be a good hire, I could keep you calm during idiotic interviews or meetings too.” You looked into his eyes, “So, you want to start your own agency?”

“Need to if I’m going to be number one,” Bakugou curtly answered, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“Well,” You began, “If I’m still in the area, and you are in desperate need of a hire, I would be happy to help.”

“Thanks.”

A small laugh and a brief look had your insides twisting. You once again felt hot. However, you were now, luckily, in the cool air of the night. You calmed yourself as the two of you approached the dorms.

Bakugou took a few quick steps to get ahead of you to reach the door. He moved to the side so you could enter in first and you smiled and nodded politely.

However, when you entered the dorm, your mood quickly changed. Practically every student was in the living room, some standing, some sitting. Most notably, Aizawa-sensei stood in the dining room, leaned up against the large wooden table, and clearly lost in his thoughts. Multiple sets of eyes turned to look at you. Your anxieties pooled in your stomach as you looked at your teacher.

Is it that bad that we are past curfew?

You felt Bakugou’s body pressed close up against yours. You were too scared to move, so the blond had to squeeze in. He was about to jokingly push you out of the way until he noticed the concerning scene in front of him.

You had no time to think about how comforting the action was, especially as he placed your hands onto your shoulders. He squeezed the slightly, but you were unsure if it was an action that was supposed to make you feel better or to make your move. You stumbled forward, but the blond hardly moved.

Aizawa cleared his throat and moved from his perch at the table. Silently, he approached you. “Let’s talk outside,” He whispered so only Bakugou, and you could hear. “Just you,” He elaborated, looking into your eyes.

You gulped and let Bakugou push you away so Aizawa could reach the door and lead the way out. You only snapped back to reality when your shoulders were suddenly cold at the lost touch.

“Okay,” You mumbled, stumbling to follow after your teacher. Maybe he was going to lecture us separately? You wondered, clinging to the hope that this was a simple scolding and not a disastrous event.

It must be my mom, what else would it be?

“Is my mom okay?” You immediately questioned when the door Bakugou closed was finally shut.

“Yes,” He abruptly replied, “Let’s talk this way.” He led you around the building to where there were multiple benches.

“My siblings?”

“Sit,” He spoke and motioned at a long bench.

You sat quickly, hoping it would make the news come quicker as well.

“There is no easy way to say this,” He began, “Please just listen.” Aizawa rubbed his eyes, clearly drained. “There was a prison escape at the North-Western prison. A total of 117 inmates escaped and are being rounded up. Your father is one of them.”

Kinesio taping is common for injuries, but can also be effective for non-sports related injuries/ailments. Kinesio taping is a rehabilitative therapeutic taping method that facilitates the body’s ability to heal naturally. The tape provides support, and stability for muscles, and joints without restricting motion. Plus there is added soft tissue support prolonging the tape's effectiveness. The technique can have added benefits when combined with chiropractic. This technique is the norm among athletes nowadays but can benefit everybody. As a chiropractic physician, I use the technique for:

  Sports injuries Sprains Strains Injury Prevention Pregnancy

  The taping involves applying the tape over and around muscles stimulating them to send neuromuscular signals that optimize performance and helps injuries heal naturally. This is a versatile treatment that can benefit everyone.

  Pain Relief

We all get strained, overused muscles that can cause tension and soreness. Millions suffer from neck, upper, mid, and low back pain from poor posture or sitting all day. It reduces pain by relieving the pressure on the strained or injured area. According to a study, stroke patients with shoulder pain experienced relief and reduction in shoulder pain after three weeks of Kinesio Taping intervention. Another study published in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation had similar results for reduced pain in patients with tennis elbow. Kinesio tape therapy can improve pain symptoms while continuing to heal the specific muscle/s.

Reduce Inflammation

It also reduces pressure on the lymphatic system, which removes fluid from the tissues. Reduced pressure allows the body to drain fluids like lactic acid that can build up in an injured area. This benefit goes beyond just healing injuries. It helps reduce inflammation and swelling after surgery and with inflammatory conditions like lymphedema. Kinesio could be beneficial for individuals with chronic inflammatory conditions.

  Overused Muscle Recovery

Taping improves blood flow, the delivery of oxygen, and nutrients to the affected area, which helps overused muscles heal quickly. This added benefit is one of the reasons taping is now used in everyday practice to treat:

  Carpal tunnel syndrome Rotator cuff impingement Bursitis Low back pain Shin splints Posture Knee pain

  Function

Taping helps improve overall function. This is a key factor for optimal healing. A study found elderly patients with degenerative knee arthritis tried the therapy and experienced reduced pain, stiffness, improved knee joint function, and increased overall motion. For improved function Kinesio is commonly used on the:

  Ankles Back Feet Knees Shoulders

  Overall Benefits One of the most important benefits, it comes without side effects from prescription meds.

  It provides support without restricting the muscle’s range of motion

  Individuals can continue to be active and not worry about overstretching the injured muscle/s, as the tape will let them know.

  The tape can be worn 24-hours a day for several days per application.

  This Kinesio taping technique is currently used by thousands of:

  Physical therapists Occupational therapists Chiropractors Medical doctors Certified athletic trainers Massage therapists

  Eliminate Low Back Pain

PLANTAR FASCIITIS TREATMENT - PART 2 ⠀ [BIOMECHANICAL SUPPORT OF THE FOOT] ⠀ From my previous post you know how to perform the basic and most important treatment of plantar fasciitis. In this post I show a treatment technique which I usually use additionally to support the healing process. ⠀ This is a great taping technique to support the longitudinal and transverse arch of the foot. It can be very helpful if your patient suffers from an injury like plantar fasciitis or even metatarsalgia. ⠀ In this case a professional tennis player suffered from plantar foot pain. It was much better after I have put the tape and he was able to play pain-free later on at his match at @RolandGarros. ⠀ The advantage of @DynamicTape compare to Kinesio Tape is that the recoil force and resistance of @DynamicTape is many times higher, the focus is on creating a mechanical effect to absorb load or to resist movement in one way or another. It acts mechanically like a spring to strongly decelerate or assist motion to improve movement patterns. Additionally it can help to reduce load on injured or overworked structures like a muscle strain, ankle sprain, tennis elbow or in this case plantar fasciitis and can assist where weakness is present e.g. after ACL repair to address risk factors associated with pain or re-injury. ⠀ With this taping technique and particularly if we extend it well off the longitudinal and transverse arch we can resist the flattening of the foot, which will be maintained in a more mid range position and therefore enabling the intrinsic foot muscles to contract more efficiently. It may also improve the length-tension of the foot muscles and therefore reduce load and the work requirements of the weak, fatigued or overworked plantar fascia. ⠀ @DynamicTape is a very good tool and supports my work a lot, especially with professional athletes! ⠀ Watch the full video on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/omB3yD-q8BE ⠀ #DynamicTape #Metatarsalgia #Plantarfasciitis #HeelPain #FootPain #PlantarPain #Foot #Pain #KinesioTape #Physiotherapy #Osteopathy #Yoga #Pilates #CrossFit #PhysicalTherapy #ManualTherapy #Fitness #Training #Sportstherapy #Chiropractic #Tennis #Basketball (hier: Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAPmWEGgjpJ/?igshid=w5hsgsp9apxo

anon asked: 12 for the Horror prompt!

sorry to post it not as an ask, but i didn’t want to chance not having the read more cut!

12: finding out that one of your closest friends/family/significant other is a monster 

(vampire Light au with Mikami)

Mikami doesn’t think very hard about the blood; he isn’t a person who believes his own body to be holy. Some people do, and their sacred bodies are their business, but Mikami isn’t thinking about the blood as his loss. What he thinks of is the new budget sheet that his left hand sketches out while his right arm lays across the oak desk, an IV taped to his elbow and crimson silk siphoning out a tube into little bags. These bags are shaped like meal replacement packages; oh the cleverness of God to make his blood appear so mundane.

On the couch is God, fingers fidgeting with a loose button down sleeve. All his clothes after the attack have been wider, like petals floating just around his figure, and he says his skin is too sensitive for tight fabric. Every part of God feels at a degree beyond humanity and for that, Mikami is both remorseful for his Kira and also joyous. Strength in all senses is what a man wants from his ruler, even if now the ruler gains strength from blood alone.

Between writing, Mikami flips his gaze from paper to God’s recline on the couch: he sees him in snapshots; a sinewy throat bearing two parallel scars, a strong jaw, the waist of a ballet performer. Mikami remembers first meeting God in the yellow warehouse and thoughts of dancers who appeared slim for no other reason than their skin only contained muscle. It was a body of efficiency. Brown hair falls limp on his cheeks when God turns his face toward Mikami and his eyes sink, weighed down by hunger.

He watches the blood flow out of Mikami. He licks his lips. Do the actions make God a monster? Mikami doesn’t think so. With a quick pen mark, he denotes a subtraction from office cafeteria supplies. Fancy food isn’t a requirement. With only ink scratches as music for them, he wonders if God is bored or just absent. Nothing has been said between them for an hour; a man wants conversation with God.

“Have you ever seen ballet?” Mikami asks. “Performed it?”

“No.” God’s voice, although raspy, is winsome and he smiles despite his pallid complexion. “My sister wanted to be a dancer when she was younger, but I didn’t think it was quite for me. I played tennis.”

“Ah,” Mikami nods. “Athletic.”

“In a way.” God folds his hands on his stomach, eyes on the IV and throat jumping each swallow. “I quit after junior league. No more challenge to it. You go to the gym often, don’t you?”

Dizziness laps at his mind’s edge but abates as Mikami shakes his head. “Yes,” he says. “When you’re well, I’ll take you. Show you my routine.” He doesn’t quell his heart’s flutter when suggesting to God they exercise together. “You’ll be an excellent gym partner.”

“Much experience with gym partners?” God lifts his thumb to his bared teeth—a flash of fang before his lips purse—and chews a hangnail.

“Some,” Mikami says. “Not many.”

Silence blankets them again with only the wet whine of God’s chewing left to fill the room. Mikami marks an addition to envelope supply—they’ve been contacted by foreign companies interested in the legal details of Kira’s rule; letters need to be sent. His line goes crooked at a loud, powerful moan from God, who clutches his stomach and bends into himself. Keening grunts and unhappiness grow as God ripples through pained convulsions. Mikami rockets to his feet, but is held to his desk by the IV.

God tilts his head, his face sideways and chin pointed at Mikami. His neck is a soft bridge; his mouth corners pull out, show all his teeth including those spindle-like fangs, and split his expression into hungry eyes above, tortured jaw beneath.

“Teru,” he whines. “I can’t wait.”

Couch tumbling away in a clatter, God shoves himself toward the desk and it too crumples under his knees as he propels into it. Mikami holds the edge, stays in his shoulder-width stance, and now God and he stare into each other’s eyes. He doesn’t look, but drool dribbles from God’s mouth. Their gazes both trail to the IV’s sluggish dredge and Mikami lays his hand over the tape holding down the needle.

“Is this what you need?” He slowly peels away the tape, a prickling pain following the release, and tosses it away. “You’re hungry,” Mikami says, his fingers a gentle tug that pulls the needle from his skin as God’s golden stare darts from steel to flesh. “Don’t wait. It’s yours.”

Blood spurts from his now-unprotected puncture and God drops his mouth to it. First, he licks the wound in long, languid gasps at odds with his frantic hands pushing Mikami’s arm closer to his face. Then, his lips seal around the skin and in a magnificent expression of bliss, God sucks loose whatever blood he can. Some red pools at lip corners, makes tiny icicle drips on the paling skin, but Mikami doesn’t think of the blood. His thoughts scamper and pirouette over God’s shut eyes with lashes fanned over his cheeks, God’s tight fingers on his bicep that nearly crush the muscle, and God himself mewling through his consumption. He hesitates before carding a nervous hand through the brown hair, which grows fuller, shinier as blood leaves Mikami’s body and flushes God through, becoming in his use something new; a holy restoration.

How Can I Take Care of My Tennis Elbow

What is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) describes pain on the outside or lateral part of your elbow when the tendons there are overloaded by repetitive movements of the wrist and arm.

The repeated contraction of the forearm muscles that you use to straighten and raise your hand and wrist leads to inflammation and degeneration of tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bony prominence at the outside of your elbow (lateral epicondyle)

You don’t have to play tennis to develop a tennis elbow and athletes are not the only ones who get it!

What are the symptoms of Tennis Elbow?

Patients mostly have pain and tenderness over the body prominence (lateral epicondyle) on the outer surface of their elbow. The point of tenderness is where their injured tendons are connected to the bone.

Pain may also travel to the forearm or upper arm when patients are doing things with their hands such as turning a doorknob, lifting something or grabbing a racket tight.

What sort of actions or activities cause Tennis Elbow?

There might be a variety of circumstances and activities causing a Tennis Elbow symptoms as this is not only a sports injury. We can divide them into these two groups:

Racket and upper limb sports:

tennis

badminton

squash

fencing,

weight lifting

Jobs and hobbies:

Carpentry

Typing

Painting

Cooking

How does my surgeon or doctor diagnose tennis elbow?

Tennis elbow is a clinical diagnosis. This means that your doctor or surgeon makes this diagnosis based on the clinical history given by their patient as well as the thorough clinical examination that they perform on the painful limb.

Imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI scans are not necessary for diagnosis. However, your doctor may still request it if he or she is worried about something else such as the extent of the tear (partial or complete) or the nature of a painful mass.

How Can I Take Care of My Tennis Elbow

If you feel pain when you move your elbow, hand or wrist, you should take a break from the specific activity which makes it worse. Refraining from aggravating activities helps to protect the elbow from further damage.

Recognizing Tennis Elbow Early

The early signs of tennis elbow may not be located at the elbow at all. You may notice pain in your forearm, upper arm, wrist and difficulty moving your hand. Occasionally, the bony prominence on the outside of your elbow might be tender or inflamed. This is a clear sign of tennis elbow.

Selfcare

Tennis elbow is usually self-limiting and may disappear after a few days of reduced physical activities and rest. It is important to diagnose this injury once you experience pain on the outside of your elbow.

Reduce elbow swelling and inflammation by applying ice for 30 minutes every 3 to 4 hours for a few days or until the pain is gone.

Anti-inflammatory medication can also help to reduce the pain and swelling, thus accelerating your recovery.

Consider wearing a forearm muscle splint, or brace, for either tennis or golfers’ elbow. This brace is worn about two finger-breaths below the elbow crease and works by taking the strain off the affected tendon. It is recommended to wear the brace even when you are not playing tennis, and for a period of about 4 to 6 weeks.

Adapting to Changes in Sport and Work

Epicondylitis isn’t always caused by playing tennis. A number of other sports may cause the tendon in your elbow to snap. A few of them are volleyball, javelin, golf or even manual jobs like gardening and plumbing with a bad technique. Here are a few ways to help your elbow stay safer even while playing or working.

Sports:

Adequate warm-up exercises to loosen stiff joints and grant you a smoother swing.

Improve your swing technique. Having a tennis elbow may be an indication of a poor swing.

Ensure the grip of your racket is not too tight. This might also happen if the grip is too small. Consider changing the size of your racket grip or use double tapes to increase the size of your grip. The larger the grip, the less tendency for your to grip your racket too tight.

Wear a brace while you play. An elbow brace limits the range of motion so that you do not force your healing elbow out of its comfort zone.

Consider wearing splints while you rest. If the pain is too severe and begins to impair your sleep quality, you may wear a wrist splint while you sleep so that you are not jolted from sleep by sharp wrist pains.

Work:

Use hand tools equipped with a shock absorber to continue physical work.

Where possible, switch out manual tools with power tools.

Wear a brace while you work. A shock-absorbing brace will have the most effect.

Consider asking your employer to temporarily transfer you to another department where you do not have to flex your elbow as much.

Management of Tennis Elbow at Orion Orthopaedic Surgery

If your lateral elbow pain does not improve despite rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medication, a formal assessment from Dr Mizan is advised. An in-depth clinical history will be obtained to ascertain the cause of the pain, duration and aggravating factors.

A thorough clinical examination will be performed to confirm the diagnosis of tennis elbow. Other causes of elbow pain may include golfers’ elbow, fractures, nerve entrapment and elbow dislocations.

If required, Dr Mizan may organize radiological investigations such as x-rays, ultrasound scans or an MRI scan to exclude these other differential diagnoses.

Treatment of tennis elbow may include the following:

Anti-inflammatory medication

Physical or physiotherapy

Elbow brace

Injections to the painful area

Surgery for tennis elbow is rare and is only considered if all the conservative techniques have failed.

Oral Therapy for Tennis Elbow Treatment

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) effectively mitigate inflammatory pain caused by the tennis elbow. Your pharmacist may recommend Diclofenac, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, amongst others, depending on the severity of the pain experienced. If oral medications are inadequate or are contraindicated, your doctor may recommend topical therapy.

Topical Therapy for Tennis Elbow Treatment

Patients with gastric or kidney problems often prefer topical therapy over oral medication. These topical anti-inflammatory medication may be applied over the area of pain perhaps two or three times a day when required.

Ice

Applying an ice pack to the painful area for 10 to 15 minutes helps to relieve pain.It reduces blood flow to the area which in turn reduces swelling and pain.

Steroid and local anaesthetic injections

Steroids have long been used by doctors with good effect for patients with pain.

While long-term steroid use is commonly associated with negative systemic side effects, single doses of steroid injections are highly effective and have little systemic side effects. These steroid injections are given with local anaesthetic to reduce the pain, swelling and long term disability which patients may experience from their injuries. Their effects are felt locally where the injection is given and not systemically to the rest of the body.

To improve the accuracy of where these steroid injections are given, the injections may be done under ultrasound guidance. Some possible local side effects include skin pigmentation, local swelling or minor bleeding.  

Shock wave therapy

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a beneficial method for treatment of tennis elbow. Studies have shown that ESWT stimulates soft-tissue healing and inhibition of pain receptors. ESWT is safe, helps reduce pain and promotes early return to daily activities.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy for tennis elbow includes specific exercises, massages, ESWT and the use of medical devices such as braces and splints. Physiotherapy is safe and empowers patients to apply self-care to their injuries to improve their symptoms and prevent recurrent injuries.

Do I need surgery for Epicondylitis?

Surgery for tennis elbow is not common, but if the joint causes severe and persistent pain, your orthopaedic doctor may suggest either open surgery or arthroscopic surgery.

Open or key-hole surgery for tennis elbow is aimed at reattaching the torn tendon to the bone (lateral epicondyle of the elbow). Patients are usually under general anaesthetic and may be discharged on the same day.

Conclusion

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a fairly common condition characterized by pain over the lateral or outside portion of your elbow. It may be treated conservagively by avoiding aggravating activities, rest and anti-inflammatories. Physiotherapy and ESWT both help reduce symptoms and return patients to their active lifestyles. Surgery for tennis elbow is uncommon.

The Invincible Role Of Sports Physiotherapist

One of the most common reasons that patients book physiotherapy evaluations across is to treat wounds obtained from playing sports. From aches & sprains to full-on broken bones, our clinicians have noticed it all. It’s no astonishment we’re an enthusiastic country, and the excitement of some of our favorite athletic pursuits can easily adjust themselves to slips, falls and aches & pains of different severity. But what precisely does a sports physiotherapist do to help manage athletic pains? And when do you understand if it’s time to just slap some ice on it and play the waiting match, or if it’s time to book an invitation and get professional therapy?

What Does A Sports Physiotherapist Do?

A sports physiotherapist aids to manage a range of damages concerned with athletic activity. They start by performing an evaluation, both to ascertain the cause & severity of the injury and to acquire a treatment plan that’s meant to relieve your pain and help you regain pre-injury levels. Once the system has been acquired, they will work out a regular meeting schedule and will likely provide you with specific at-home activities that will also help enhance your rehabilitation.

What Kinds Of Damages Does A Sports Physiotherapist Review?

In a nutshell a sports physiotherapist will negotiate injuries obtained from doing just about anything that would fall under the level of athletic activity – despite intensity – and that is worrying or debilitating enough to put you out of the game for a time.

Sports Injuries And Treatment Method

Some of the most common injuries that a sports physiotherapist can treat include low back strain, rotator cuff injury, knee ligament sprains, meniscus tears, groin strain, ankle sprains, tennis elbow. The advancement of treatment in sports physiotherapy includes sports specific exercises and training, bracing and taping, fabrication of protective pads, manual and manipulative therapy, muscle reconditioning, proprioceptive training, movement education, etc.

Sports physiotherapists render a diversity of services to maintain your health goals. Along with maintaining a wide range of injuries and health problems, they order exercise programs that utilize strength and cardiovascular exercise.

The physical evaluation conducted by the sports physiotherapist is important in achieving a customized training schedule. It examines your physical activities, health history, and other important knowledge. Sports physiotherapists can provide support related to any medications you may be taking. Nutritional supplements and other services can also be assessed by the physiotherapist to ensure that one is obtaining the proper assistance for his physical activities.

When Should I See A Sports Physiotherapist?

You may be questioning if your sports injury is critical enough to see a physiotherapist for therapy. In most circumstances, the injury you have nurtured may be able to improve on its own or over the period, but there is normally a reason you maintained it that doesn’t require someone colliding with you. Even if you examine it a minor injury, the possibility of recurrence is quite high and it could appear again and it could be much more critical and more uncomfortable.

If you are undergoing from any kind of unexplained body pain, have experienced a bony, muscular or ligament injury, recovered from the hospital after stroke or surgery, experience joint or back pain, suffer from age-related issues like muscle weakness, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or suffer from Bell’s Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Muscle Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis then we have the solutions for you. A physiotherapist can be the best support you need rather than waiting for the problem to get complicated because the solution would be more relaxed if you reach a physiotherapist a bit earlier.
