Hey Gcoe

Thanks for you're response! You make some good points.

Following the first treatment my patient was fine with no soreness after the session or the following day which is good news I guess.

I think you are right in regards to starting off a bit more conservatively and tackling a prioritised list of problems. The patient still has a little bit of swelling on the medial aspect of his elbow so I probably should focus a bit more towards resolving that (contrast therapy?)

I was def planning on utilizing the overload principle. No its not a true 15RM, I just thought 3 x 15 with 2kg weights was a good place to start with the flexor/exentsor strengthening as the patient was able to complete 15 repetitions with relative ease. Then I was gradually going to progress to 2.5kg, 3kg, 4kg etc.. Do you think that is okay?

Also following the prescribed exercises I provided, the patient had no soreness during, after or the following day.

Once swelling was resolved and full elbow ROM was present I was going to begin with some bicep/tricep etc strengthening...

I have suggested to the patient that he is still able to maintain his cardiovascular fitness with running, cycling, lower limb exercises etc. Any other ideas?

I appriciate you're comments and look forward to you're response
