💪 ARM PAIN FROM THE GYM?
🏋️♂️ Common Injuries & How Massage Therapy May Help
Arm pain after a gym workout is common, especially when lifting heavy weights, increasing training intensity too quickly, or using incorrect techniques.
🔹 COMMON CAUSES OF ARM PAIN
💪 Muscle Strain – Overstretching or overloading the muscles during weightlifting.
🔥 Tendon Irritation – Repetitive movements and heavy lifting may irritate the tendons around the elbow, wrist or shoulder.
🤕 Biceps & Triceps Overuse – Exercises such as bicep curls, tricep extensions and bench presses can put extra stress on the arm musles.
⚡ Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow – Repetitive gripping and lifting may contribute to pain around the outer or inner elbow.
🦴 Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Strain – Poor technique or excessive training loads may contribute to shoulder and upper-arm discomfort.
