Sportvis Launches New Video Clips For Tennis Elbow Sufferers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 26, 2011 -- Filmed by Ronan Carolan, Chartered Physiotherapist , in association with the ISCP (Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists) and the CPPP (Chartered Physiotherapists in Private Practice), it is the most comprehensive study available on the internet of all the physiotherapy exercises required to aid Tennis Elbow rehabilitation. Best of all, it’s FREE to download for anybody interested in this condition.

The video clips present in detail a 9-step programme to strengthen ALL the muscles of the forearm thus offering patients a complete approach. As Ronan Carolan explains “We made this video clip to help patients carry out the exercises in their own home following consultation with their physiotherapist. It acts as a reference point for them to ensure that they are doing the required exercises properly and progressing the exercises at the correct pace in order to facilitate faster rehabilitation”.

The video clip is now available on the Sportvis website (www.sportvis.ie) and on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sportvis+tennis+elbow+videos&aq=f

This is great news for sufferers as Tennis Elbow is an extremely painful condition caused by tiny tears to the fibres that make up the tendon in the elbow. After the initial injury heals these areas often tear again. Unfortunately, blood circulation tends to be poor in the area around tendons which means they heal very slowly and the condition can last for years. Anyone unlucky enough to suffer with Tennis Elbow will be well aware of the debilitating pain and loss of function that becomes part of everyday life.

The injury is not just restricted to tennis/racquet sport players but is a common problem for many people whose activities require strong gripping or repetitive wrist motions – workers such as truck drivers, gardeners, painters, plumbers, carpenters and office workers are often affected. Chronic Tennis Elbow or Lateral Epicondylitis usually strikes between the ages of 35 and 65 years of age, affecting both men and women.

Sportvis (www.sportvis.ie) is a highly effective, fast-acting treatment that directly targets the torn tendon to promote accelerated healing. Composed of biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, Sportvis™ is injected into the injury site where the Hyaluronic Acid reacts with the torn tendon, forming a “gel-like” fibrin complex. Essentially, the powerful healing action of Sportvis™ works on 3 levels simultaneously: it reduces pain and inflammation; it provides structural support to the damaged tissue and helps the injury to heal better by reducing scar tissue to reduce risk of recurrence.
