Which part of the arm should be massaged to quickly relieve fatigue? Let's attack the muscle called brachioradialis with pinpoint. As shown in the diagram, the brachioradialis is a muscle that extends from the wrist to the upper elbow. It is used to bend and straighten the elbow and rotate the arm inward and outward. It is always used when carrying heavy items such as plastic bags at the supermarket, or when holding a bag on your elbow. The brachioradialis muscle is also used when holding and operating a smartphone with one hand. In particular, the operating time of holding a smartphone with one hand is increasing year by year, and fatigue of the brachioradialis muscle often leads to tendonitis and elbow problems.
