Why Do You Have Tennis Elbow?

The closest many people who suffer from Tennis Elbow have ever been to a tennis match is watching the coverage of Wimbledon on TV. So how do you end up suffering tennis elbow in this case?

Well tennis elbow is so called because the condition typically develops following strenuous overuse of the muscles and tendons of the forearm which are the same ones that are used extensively when playing tennis. The medical name of tennis elbow is Lateral Epicondylitis and it can be caused by many other activities that put excessive, repeated stress on the elbow joint.
