Causes of Tennis Elbow
That means 95% of people who experience this pain or tenderness on the outside of the elbow are most likely to develop it through everyday movements like:
✂️ Using tools like a screwdriver or scissors
💻 Typing or texting
🎻 Playing violin
...and of course the 5% from racket sports like:
🏓 Tennis, pickleball, badminton, etc.
Is this you? Well you’re in luck because our DPTs are certified in techniques like Active Release Technique (ART) that provide quick and effective results to resolve your “tennis elbow”.

So I put lululemon’s ShowZero Polo to the test to see if it really could eliminate the dreaded sweat stains. 🥵

Olympic weightlifting focuses on moving weight from the ground to an overhead position with two different lifts; the clean & jerk and the snatch.
So these athletes primarily focus on movement in one front to back plane of motion (known as the sagittal plane). However, their core must be prepared to stabilize heavy weight from all directions when it’s caught in a vulnerable, overhead position. Here’s how:
1st Exercise
Deadbug + anti-rotation = CORE STRENGTH
This move builds awareness of bracing and maintaining a neutral spine despite the legs moving in opposite directions and upper body resisting rotation which will really fire up your core!
2nd Exercise
Paloff press in split stance = FUNCTIONAL CORE STRENGTH
By working on rotational strength while in the split jerk position, Dan’s brain & core can be better prepped from multiple directions for when that heavy bar wobbles around.

If you’re ready to get rid of the side-to-side movement that’s hurting your golf game, here’s an easy drill you can do right at home.
1. Place the club on your sternum, keeping your arms relaxed & head still
2. Rotate your hips and thorax (chest) like a “pendulum”
Practicing this movement helps maximize the rotation required to improve your game!

I didn’t care if my kids were the fastest or strongest, but it was my dream that they would love moving and learn to move well. (Iron owner Meri Baker Mayes)
What fun last week being side-by-side with my teenagers, sisters and their kiddos all starting our day in the best way! ☀️♥️
