Overcoming Piano Tendonitis Injuries (RSIs)



As a pianist, is there anything worse than being injured? 

Repetitive Strain Injuries are the bane of piano players worldwide: Tendinitis, Tenosynovitis, DeQuervain’s, CTS – as well as Golfer’s and Tennis Elbow.

Maybe you’re just beginning to experience pain in your fingers, wrists or elbows and are starting to worry about whether you have an injury – Especially a tendon injury…

If so, you’re also probably struggling with the question of whether you need to stop playing (not necessarily) – And how you’re going to pay the bills if you do have to stop…

Even if playing the piano is more of a hobby and not your profession, (and you’re not as stressed out about the pain) – It can still suck the joy out of playing, can’t it?

So, in the spirit of helping you figure this out and find the right treatment path and strategy, here are the questions and topics we’re going to cover in the article:

Does Swimming Help Or HURT Tennis Elbow?

Let's talk about swimmer's, Golfer's and Tennis Elbow.

Hi this is Allen Willette with the Tennis Elbow Classroom podcast.

Whether you developed an injury swimming and think of it as “Swimmer's Elbow”…

OR you developed a Tennis Elbow or Golfer's Elbow injury some other way – but happen to love to swim…

I'm guessing there are probably two or three key questions on your mind: First off:

  1. Is swimming bad for Tennis or Golfer's Elbow?Does it cause or aggravate it?
  2. Secondly: Could swimming possibly be a good rehab exercise for your Tennis or Golfer's Elbow? – (Especially if swimming wasn't what caused it in the first place)
  3. And, lastly: Should you STOP swimming until your injury heals? – (Especially if swimming IS what caused your injury in the first place)

So, let's dig right into the question of whether swimming causes or aggravates Tennis Elbow... (Listen to the podcast episode above or...)
