Physio Expert Jo Brown is a sports physiotherapist who recently submitted her PhD in swimmers’ shoulders. Jo has worked extensively with elite sport nationally and internationally, including New Zealand Surf Lifesaving and Swimming Australia. Q. I have a sore elbow which I think is getting aggravated from kitesurfing. What have I done, can sports physiotherapy help, can I keep kite surfing??? Elbow problems are more common than most people think in the active and athlete population and to most peoples’ surprise you don’t have to play tennis to get “Tennis elbow”. Tennis elbow is the most common elbow injury that presents to physiotherapists and relates to damage to the attachment of the extensor muscle group in the forearm. Damage to the tendon and particularly its attachment “tendinopathy” most often occurs in response to a change in blood flow to that tendon. In most cases this relates to a change in the load placed on that tendon, that is working the tendon for longer or harder, for example, going for a super long kite surf after not kitesurfing for a while or increasing weights in the gym. Such activities will work the extensor muscles as they relate to gripping activities. The other scenario would be if you have had a direct blow to the tendon to alter the blood flow with bruising. Kitesurfers may also present with elbow on the inside or medial side as well. This relates to the attachment of the flexor tendons and is commonly described as “Golfers elbow”. This is also related to gripping activity with a more flexed or bent wrist. So depending on your area of pain a tendinopathy is a likely diagnosis. Nerve entrapments and referred pain are also common at the elbow but less likely to be related to kitesurfing. Sports physiotherapy can help such tendon injuries at various stages in the healing by restoring and maximising blood flow, maintaining or regaining joint function and improving muscle strength. Treatment will normally consist of a combination of soft tissue therapy, manual therapy joint mobilisations and a graduated exercise program including stretching of the appropriate muscle group. In regards to kitesurfing this should be assessed depending on your stage of healing and a sports physiotherapist can guide your safe return to sport. This can be a tricky process as tendinopathy will not necessarily be painful during the aggravating activity but at rest and often even 24 hours after activity. Jo Brown Physiotherapist 0410 080 014
