Stretching Exercises for Triceps
Stretching Exercises for Triceps
The triceps are a group of three headed muscles located at the back pf the upper arm. These muscles primarily work to extend and contract the elbow. Strong triceps provide powerful and toned upper body and can help anyone perform daily activities and sports with ease. In this video, Kinesiologist Kenneth Singh demonstrates stretching exercises for triceps:
So why stretch your triceps? Stretching is a crucial component of working out, and the triceps are no exception to this as it will reduce the risk of injury. The triceps are very vulnerable to tendinitis, especially if one is performing repetitive movements such as hammering, throwing or lifting. Proper straightening and stretching of the triceps may help reduce risk of developing an overuse injury. Other injuries that may occur in the triceps are tears, strains, tendon rupture, injury in the radical nerve, among others.
Some of the symptoms of a triceps injury may include pain and swelling in the back part of the upper arm to the elbow, inability to fully bend the elbow, and problems with lifting. Treatment for problems in the triceps may include cold therapy, physiotherapy, massage therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture and chiropractic care.
