Tackling Elbow Injuries in BJJ: Your Path to Recovery with Mixed Osteo

Osteo assessing elbow injury of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) athlete

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a thrilling martial art, but it's not without its share of wear and tear. Elbow injuries are a common concern among BJJ practitioners, often stemming from the sport's dynamic grappling and submissions. At Mixed Osteo, we understand the unique demands of BJJ and offer a comprehensive approach to address these injuries, helping you get back on the mat stronger than ever.

Common Elbow Injuries in BJJ

Elbow injuries can vary in severity but frequently plague BJJ enthusiasts. Here are some of the most common elbow injuries in BJJ:

1. Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Characterised by pain on the outer part of the elbow, often due to overuse of the forearm muscles during gripping.

2. Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow but with pain on the inner part of the elbow, typically caused by repetitive motions and gripping.

3. Elbow Sprains and Strains: Overextension or hyperflexion of the elbow joint during sparring can lead to ligament sprains or muscle strains.

4. Bursitis: Inflammation of the elbow bursa sac, usually caused by repeated impact on the elbow.

Comprehensive Solutions at Mixed Osteo

At Mixed Osteo, our holistic approach to managing elbow injuries includes Osteopathy, Applied Functional Science (AFS) techniques, and personalised exercise rehabilitation programs.

1. Osteopathy: Our skilled Osteopaths use hands-on techniques to assess and treat elbow injuries. By improving joint mobility and optimizing tissue function, Osteopathy accelerates healing and reduces pain.

3. Exercise Rehab: Our tailored exercise programs focus on strengthening the muscles and structures most vulnerable to BJJ-related elbow injuries. Through targeted exercises, we help you regain strength, stability, and flexibility.
