Tennis Elbow, Golfer's Elbow, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Tennis elbow is characterized by pain on the lateral side of the elbow joint, whereas in golfers elbow, the pain is felt on the medial side. Both ailments are due to inflammation of the tendons of the forearm muscles, a common condition called "tendonitis". They are both caused by chronic tension of the two muscle groups of the forearm. When the extensor muscle group of the forearm gets tight, the result is tennis elbow; when the flexor muscle group of the forearm gets tight, golfers elbow is the outcome. The possible cause for this type of inflammatory process is  microscopic tears where the tendon attaches to the bone, due to chronic muscular contraction. In the case of carpal tunnel syndrome, the muscles of the forearm will get very tight and will decrease the already narrow space at the carpal tunnel, creating irritation of the adjacent tissues. Hence, sensations of tingling, numbness, or burning of the hand will be felt, due to median nerve irritation. Deep tissue massage will eliminate tension, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and resolve any of these conditions permanently.
