Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for stubborn tennis elbow

[shivphysio]

- No stretches - may aggravate your condition

- Only simple passive movements – flexion, extension, pronation supination exercises, without hyperextending the elbow
- Application of ice therapy on the affected elbow – put some ice cubes in a big bowl, allow the water to be chilled enough, dip your affected elbow in the chilled water for 2-3 mins, remove and allow rest for 30-45 secs, repeat procedure 5 consecutive times followed by assisted active movements at the elbow + gentle eccentric exercises.
The ice therapy will reduce pain and inflammation though there is chronic inflammation. - No need to apply heat because micro ruptures of the ligaments generally occur throughout activities of daily living, so the heat won’t favor the inflammatory process!!!
You may try my advice and hope to see some improvement in your condition. SHIV SAHAYE.

I totaly agree with the previous thread... why don`t you discuss using kinesio tape with you therapist (muscle inhibition technique),I do use it for my patient it worked pretty well with a lot of tennis elbow patients.
