The treatment for overuse-induced growth zone inflammation is primarily offloading, as the growth zones cannot be trained stronger. It is important to keep ‘all’ other muscles working while the tendon attachments on the growth zone in the elbow heal up.
Exercises should not provoke the known pain in the elbow during or after training.
Throwing exercises should only be resumed when the pain has completely subsided.
Condition
Unlimited: Cycling and running
Stretching
10 minutes of each training session
Place your training arm over the edge of a table with your palm facing down. Press with the other arm on the back of the hand so that the front of the training arm becomes increasingly stretched. Repeat the exercise, pressing the training arm hand first to one side and then to the other side. Finally, turn the arm so that the palm is facing upwards. With the healthy arm, press on the palm of the hand so that there is increasing tension on the underside of the training arm. Hold each stretch for 20 seconds and then start one of the other exercises.
