🎾 What Is Tennis Elbow?

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition that occurs when the tendons in your elbow are overloaded—often from repetitive motions like gripping, lifting, or typing. But what many people don’t realize is that tight fascia and scar tissue may be the root cause of persistent elbow pain that doesn’t respond to rest or braces.

🧬 Fascia, Scar Tissue, and Chronic Elbow Pain

After injury, overuse, or inflammation, your body lays down scar tissue as part of the healing process. This fibrous tissue is stiffer and less elastic than healthy tissue, often forming adhesions that restrict movement and irritate nearby structures—especially in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and tendons.

When scar tissue and fascia bind to the extensor tendons of the forearm, it can:

• Limit normal tendon movement

• Cause persistent stiffness and pain

• Irritate the radial nerve

• Disrupt blood flow and healing

⚠️ Signs Scar Tissue and Fascia Are Involved in Your Tennis Elbow

• Ongoing pain despite physical therapy or injections

• Pain that worsens with gripping or lifting light objects

• A feeling of tightness or “pulling” in the forearm or elbow

• Decreased range of motion

• Elbow pain that travels down to the wrist or up the arm

✅ How Myofascial Release Helps Tennis Elbow

Myofascial release targets adhesions and restrictions in fascia and scar tissue. When applied to the lateral forearm and elbow, it can:

• Break up scar tissue

• Improve tissue mobility

• Reduce pain and inflammation

• Restore normal tendon glide

• Prevent future flare-ups
