#63 - What is Really Happening with Repetitive Motion Injuries

About this episode

In this episode, Taylor Kruse discusses repetitive motion injuries and their potential metabolic causes with guest Tony Fowler.

What if your tennis elbow is actually a symptom of a metabolic issue?  In this episode, I speak with my trusty podcast producer, Tony, about common repetitive motion injuries that I get asked about frequently like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, jumper's knee, tendonitis etc.  I discuss why I don't love the term "repetitive motion injury" and how I prefer to think about these types of tendon issues from an applied neurology lens.  I discuss potential causes as well as outline several drills and techniques that can provide relief for these common issues.  Throughout this episode I touch on different topics such as floating pain syndrome, metabolic threats, hypersensitivity, the Alexander Technique, carpal tunnel, neuromechanic drills, peripheral nerves, compression bands, pressure-checking, joint mobility drills, floss bands, deep-tendon reflexes, general conditioning, aquatic exercise and more.  Thank you to my podcast idea man and coach, Tony Fowler (Instagram:  @tone_reverie ) for helping me put together this episode!
