    Re: Tennis Elbow - Please advise

    dear puppy8910

    Sorry to hear this story.
    I have seen many people with epicondylitis ( and have even treated them a lot myself). More often than not, the reason for them having required the pain in the first place, is NOT a problem in the elbow region itself!!!!! . It could very well be related to the schoulder, the cervical or thoracic spine, it could even be related to the organs (the large intenstine meridiaan runs in this area).
    If I were you I would try to find someone who knows a lot about sports and is not only musculoskeletally and neurologically interested, but who knows a bit more about meridiaans.

    I have seen many cases of epicondylitis not resolving when treated locally, but resolving the moment the therapist finds the " real reason" behind the problem in the first place. This could be problems in the shoulder joint, cervical or thoracic areas or even energy dysbalanse problems.
    Hope this helps you a bit

    hi friend
    i totally agree with esther.an assessment from a movement impairment point of view is needed.
    even the sling pattern of muscles need to be checked
