So, this is for those of you that are experiencing long term pain that is seemingly chronic. Its been 6 months for me. I had tried both rest and physio exercises, and a combination of both. I had days of relief, but in general, the issues were ongoing. Then, I discovered the Athlean X kettle bell routine for tennis elbow. This was the beginning of realization. The kettle routine was giving me relief but not permanent. I did start to notice that when this routine popped my elbow joints, I would get almost instant relief, but with residual tenderness at the tendon. To be expected I suppose for a tendon under constant strain. So, I remembered I had seen one or two vids that suggested some Tennis elbow is actually a fruit of joint dysfunction and misalignment. I went back and sought out more vids on this issue, and came up with a couple of exercises/movements that are designed to pop the joint back into alignment. Guess what, I went from having a day of pain and restricted motion to near instant relief. So, for me at least it seems my joint is out of whack. This makes sense for me. I was aggressively chopping wood when I triggered my Tennis elbow. So, for me at least, it seems I need to focus on alignment and also strengthening the arm muscles. This goes for the shoulder too. I'm taking a holistic approach to building my arm back up. Good luck.

UPDATE: 4 months after posting this comment I am more or less back to normal feeling and function with my elbow. It does want to slip out of alignment from time to time, but a simple pop stretch movement usually sets things back. I have been in good shape for quite a while. Initially I was doing popping and stretching several times a day for the first few weeks before my elbow was comfortable being back in alignment . I will continue to pop and build back muscle strength as needed.

Currently a SPT doing my clinical rotations with an outpatient ortho focus. Incredible how much more informative your channel is than the majority of PT practices out there. Extremely useful information provided in a comprehensive yet succinct way. Current evidence cited for most recommendations. And the videos are all well made. Amazing. This channel sets the bar high for the PT I want to be.

I’ve been dealing with this for six months now.I was recommended by orthopaedic doctor to do prp on my elbow, but after watching this video, I won’t lose any more money, because I did physio for this and for my shoulder pain As I did an MRI and it showed I have bursitis, but the pain is same.Definitely will focus on doing thing on my own.Thank you !

[romamistry]

This is the best and most thorough video on this topic that I’ve come across. I love how you cite and summarize the research, and provide examples of recommended exercises. The inclusion of shoulder exercises was a nice bonus. Thank you so much!

This is by far the best and comprehensive video on YouTube regarding that topic. And i watched them ALL. Beautifully done with lots of data and fantastic editing. Thank you very much.

[Seegurke.]

The effort you put into the video is phenomenal. Perfect visual illustrated the physiology / trigger factors / rehab options, nice direct relation to real life scenarios. I appreciate you also focussed on the gym options as cause & rehab for this problem.
Perfectly explained and superb structured, this video stands out to all the others out there, also because of its very comprehensive approach and foundation on empirical medical date. Thank you - subscribed.

This was a masterclass for Lateral elbow pain. I do not even remember that my MSK class about elbow pain was this deep. Thanks guys.

[paulmarten]

Incredible video. Love how you do your best not to fear monger at all, big problem in PT world

[peggyleung]

This video and analysis was super helpful in helping me understand all the exercise/treatment modalities. Even more interesting is how tendinopathies can be linked to diabetes and cardiac diseases! Those run in my family and each of my family members who suffer from heart disease and diabetes all have tendinopathies. Simply fantastic!!!! Thank you.

Retired PT here. WI{th more free time I am playing more tennis which, has led to some lateral elbow discomfort. Thank you for an in-depth, well researched presentation. Watching this video felt like I was in an excellent continuing ed class. Will need to re-watch and take notes. Great job!

I had it without knowing what it was at the time, accidentally cured it with one of those spinning gyro wrist balls. Everyone should get one.
