Self-Massage for Tennis Elbow
Do you love tennis but hate tennis elbow?
With Maria Rossi, CMT
It’s this love of the game of tennis that makes us all want to play as much as we can. But sometimes this leads to overuse and even injury.
As a Sports Massage Therapist I have helped tennis players enjoy playing pain and injury free by addressing musculoskeletal issues common to many of us who love tennis.
Self-Massage for Tennis Elbow will show you how to manage shoulder and elbow pain and avoid tennis elbow, the dreaded #1 tennis injury afflicting so many tennis players.
In this 90-minute workshop you will learn some easy Sports Massage techniques that you can do at home. We will use a therapeutic massage ball to:
- Free up muscle tissue of the forearm and shoulder
- Increase joint range of motion
- Manage elbow pain
Thursday May 19th 12-1pm
Members $25, non-members $30 (includes 1 therapeutic ball)
Registration available online or in the clubhouse
