A member asked:
Got a really tight elbow after weight lifting. what can i do to so it doesn't get too tight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use K-Tapes: Kinesio-tapes will support your elbow you are strengthening muscles which when they get strong will get shorter and stronger you need to give this routine a break and work with the opposite directional muscles eg if your routine is flexion use extension exercise and same time use k-tape to support these areas. Steam/sauna heat will relax tight elbow and allow stretch. Ktape cost $12.99.
