I'm suffering from tennis elbow in my left arm after overdoing it playing golf. This is the best video I've come across for exercises to help this. Thank you.

[ronniechoo]

Thanks so much for the 3 simple and extremely effective exercises. Tried almost all techniques but failed to work and some actually aggravated the pain. Your exercises not only provide relief instantly but cured my tennis elbow and strengthen my elbow at the same time!

Been suffering w. Tennis Elbow for 6 months. My tennis friends see me rmassaging my hand + don’t understand why my hand hurts. I suspected my elbow pain stemmed from the wrist . I have incorporated your exercises to strengthen my wrist weakness and instability and my iLateral Epicondylitis is finally improving. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I come down with a severe case of tennis elbow in my left arm last October after a lot of heavy hammering on a metal project. It degenerated to the point in April where it was acute at all times, interfered with my sleep and high doses of ibuprofen weren't helping. I already had a pre-existing issue due to a botched subacromic decompression left shoulder surgery which left me with anterior instability. I was warned by my non quack follow-up orthopedic surgeon in 1996 that I would be susceptible to elbow and forearm strain because of the instability. I was pretty much problem free until last October. I tried many of the other YouTube treatments but they were focused on stretch and hold exercises and didn't offer much improvement. After about two weeks of following your exercise suggestions my pain subsided and I was able to stop taking the ibuprofen. I was really in agony until I followed your recommendations and am really glad you provided this information to the public and highly recommend it to others.

I've been suffering from elbow pain for a while now & finally today I've got a name for it & glad I found you so I can start treating it. Sometimes I can't open a jar it's so painful. Thanks for the video :-) Good work, started these exercises today

[chriscostner]

I did these as you taught them and by the end of the video a great deal of my pain was gone. Thank you so much!

My wife has chronic tennis elbow. She thanks you, as do I. Cheers!

[spencerjames]

Can definitely say this has helped a lot. Been noticing some strain in my elbow during bench press, overhead press, and curls, to the point where I’ve been having to go for less weight. Doing these stretches before has helped my elbow pain greatly and have also made me more conscious of how I’m doing my lifts. Great stuff.

Thanks Eric! I had some wicked TE for almost a year. Could barely stretch my arm out and grab even a glass of water. Started doing these exercises religiously. I was pretty much pain free in about a month. Now when i get flair ups, i revisit this bookmarked video and get at it again. It's been a godsend!

[OccidianE]

I’ve been fighting this chronically in my left elbow from constantly having to hammer in tight spaces you may have just saved my arm thank you sir!

[olally]

[TheDaanV]

My man! Instant relief, and quickly fixed everything my wrist elbow and shoulder. You are a hero in my book. Thanks so much.

[gabby]

Great stuff. Got some soft tissue damage on my right wrist a couple weeks ago and then started to get a burning sensation in my elbow. These exercises have helped. Thank you.

[sakisalfista]

I have tried several months many other exercises without results. Thank God I have found this video! I don't have any discomfort thanks to you. God bless you 🙏🏼
