My right arm/elbow was in almost constant pain. I was skeptical of this approach, but after seeing a physiotherapist, doing the stretches that were suggested and getting no relief for several months, I tried it. Within two days my arm felt better. Too bad the physiotherapist I saw, either didn’t listen to my explanation of my condition or was unfamiliar with what could be done. Thank you so much for creating this video. It changed my life!

I'm a guy in his 40s from the UK and I play cricket at amateur level. I understand that you may not be familiar with the game but I am a batsman and I started developing tennis elbow a couple of years ago. It would flare up and then subside on its own every so often and I bought a forearm strap to help when I played - and it did help. This year though the tennis elbow got worse and worse in pre season practice and I played the first game of the season in agony combined with a huge loss of grip strength in my right forearm. I am a leftie so my right arm provides the majority of support and power to my shots as a batter in cricket. Needliess to say, my first game this year was a huge struggle and I was in huge pain afterwards. I went to the physio and he recommended a bunch of exercises which helped temporarily but then the pain would come back within 5 minutes. I was considering a cortisone injection but then stumbled across your video....and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I followed the simple things with the butter knife and the massage gun for 10 minutes and it has led to a 70% reduction in pain....and the pain reduction has lasted for over an hour!!!! That is literally after just 10 minutes!!!! Thank you so so much for this....I will continue this regime on a daily basis and I have ordered the strap you recommended as well....I will wear this during games. I cant say enough to express how grateful I am - the pain of this injury was becoming really difficult to live with.

I love the way Bob and Brad work together as a team unlike others who try to outshine the each other

Blood flow is key to healing tendons. Because they are very low blood supply you need to pump alot of blood into the area. In a painfree way

Boy guys I needed this ! Tennis elbow is so painful ! God bless you two ! Thank you !

You 2 helped me rehab my shoulders through hanging, now I can't wait to try this technique on my tennis elbow that flaired up recently. All the best to you both!

Bob and Brad I share your channel with every single person that I can. Every time people let me know they are happy with the help you’ve given. You have helped me and so many others. I just shared this with a lady at work today and she has just thanked me after hours. I’ve actually shared your channel with three people today. If god needs to bless anyone it’s you guys, you have helped people who aren’t well off to find help and healing and humour which I love by the way. God bless you both and may your practice prosper no end. Kindest regards. Paul Perth Western Australia.

Hi Bob and Brad, thank you for your sound and helpful physio advice. Helps to keep me going pain free. And Bob, no worries about the slurring. Keep up the good work and keep well!

Wow, I have been dealing with this for months and then this video pops up. And I have been referring to Bob & Brad for a while now, but never thought to seek help here for my elbow. Good one!

Bob and Brad save the day again! Recently began routesetting in a rock climbing gym 3-4 times per week. The repetitive tricep extension motion of ascending ropes gave me a good case of tennis elbow. Thankful for this channel and the heartfelt advice.

This is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! Y’all cured my Achilles tendonitis and now I’m counting on my tennis elbow to be fixed. Thanks y’all!!!

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 actual 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 arm the 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.

This treatment has helped like none other! I’ve been doing it almost daily for about 2 weeks and the pain is almost gone!! I also started doing it going up the upper part of the arm and also lightly rubbing the affected area. Thank you so much, it was really painful until I did this!

Great video- I think this will help!

Thank you

These guys are hilarious

My "go to" team - thank you!!!

I had it for a year and a half from using a weed eater. The solution was to stop gripping with the middle finger. I learned to use my index finger instead of the middle finger for pulling the trigger.

I used a hammer to hit a tyre in the pain free zone. But it gives you massive blood flow to the area and it healed up nicely .

I hope this works. Picking up thirty bags of sand with one arm was a big mistake. 68 year old elbow ia still pissed off.

Tnk u

Thx, guys. Never realised caused by the backhand groundstroke but that figures. Try and keep elbow tucked in when playing this stroke to prevent injury.

Great video, guys. I seem to get tennis elbow every March after a winter of snow shovelling and cross country skiing. Should I be working with weights more throughout the year to try to strengthen the arm so that I don’t go through this on an annual basis?

Best...👍👍👍👍

I’m having trouble with my left bicep aching. I bought a strap (like the tennis elbow strap) to see if it will help. I’ve been researching it.

I wondering ir is a good idea to try infiltration? I have this pain for more that 5 months, thanks a lot for the wonderful and useful tips. Regards from Toronto.

Did the massage by rolling a cup on there, essentially the same. But, it seems to have given quite a bit of relief!!

You two are lovely xx

Glad you think so!

I dont even play tennis, has a desk job, pushing a computer mouse around the whole day, and I have been getting this elbow pain now for a month or 3. Will try these techniques and see if it helps, as I have been taking some ant-inflammatory meds (diclofenac) but it only works for a short while.

also using your thumb press down hard while rotaing your forarm back and forth .. it hurt as hell but once you done the pain will stop instantly . do it for 30 sec

Great video. But if one had the option to do either the knife method or the massage guns, which one would be better?

I’ve had tennis elbow issues for 1.5 years now. I cannot seem to get it to go away. It lessens some and then comes right back. I’ll keep working on it though.

@@heathermccall5385 Actually I did fix it. I could hardly believe it worked but I had an appointment to get a deep tissue massage and the guy asked if there was anything specific that I wanted him to focus on. I told him about my tennis elbow so he worked on it extra in addition to the rest of the massage. I could hardly believe the pain went away and I was able to get back to all my normal daily tasks pain free. I also was able to workout again pain free. I have been pain free after that one deep tissue massage. I am assuming I just couldn’t put enough pressure in all directions on my own. Even though I am pain free I still massage that area on my own or with a massage gun periodically to keep everything loosened up in that area as preventative maintenance.

Hmm I have tone & spasticity in those forearm muscles (also in my calf) from a stroke. Would the raking and massage gun used as you have shown help to reduce and keep it at bay with continued treatment as if I had tennis elbow?

Question.... Why does my arm lock up.....and then CRACK painfully? I cannot figure it out. The inability to move and then the paingul pop sound scares me. Most of my joints do this honestly. I was gifted a percussion massage thingy....but is says do not use it on bones. I share your content and truly appreciate your time and energy! Thank you!!

lol my arm just did this the other day. I'm used to it normally but this time i was lifting a 25 lb weight and my arm locked up and cracked like you said. im guessing it's a matter of stretching, or not stretching enough.

Thank you for a nice video. I have used heat applications especially first thing in the morning...Microwave gel pack, heating pad or even a hot shower. Heat decreases acute pain more than anything I've tried and I've heard because heat relaxes the muscle as well as increasing blood flow. Nighttime is my biggest challenge as I like to sleep with arms curled up but haven't yet tried a brace or splint.

I recently started to use a wrist brace at night… Another video suggested this ...I don't seem to be waking up in the morning as achy and I am able to sleep through the night more often now… it's not a miracle cure by any means, but I do seem to be getting a little relief… I've had tennis elbow for about 2 1/2 months now. I think the brace keeps my wrist from moving, which seems to help my tennis elbow… I hope this might help you.

I've read somewhere that doing bicep curls can help. True? I would think curling is worse if it requires you to grip.

You guys need to add a wrist immobilizer to your treatment recommendations.

Is it normal for your hand to go numb at night? Almost every position does that when sleeping. My pointer and middle finger has been painful and swollen for months too. Im not sure if its related. I was diagnosed with it but the dr was pretty vegue with answers.

I have both tennis and golfers elbow. From lifting weights im 58 hatd to do both ateas

Metal detecting. 👌

First find out what is causing your tennis elbow before trying out any treatments or exercises: 1. Is it weak forearm muscles/joints? 2. Is it incorrect playing/hitting technique? 3. Is it something else? Watch this video to find out more ---> kzread.info/dash/bejne/qaltwcGrqJm6oLA.html

My tennis elbow won't go away

Wow...these guys mumbled so much. They sound like they've been drinking for hours..LOL

Here's a true interesting story of how I healed my tennis elbow. I got tennis elbow from throwing a tennis ball for my dog to chase. I threw the ball with a plastic arm length special thrower. So I ended up with tennis elbow. It wasn't really painful just annoying as hell. I had it for around a month. At the time I was collecting crystals and stones as a simple hobby. I read somewhere that Red Jasper was a healing stone. I purchased a small polished piece of it and followed the instructions for healing. I recited a short prayer holding the stone in my hand asking arc angel Michael to help me heal my tennis elbow. Following instructions I placed it under my pillow before retiring. I am a solid sleeper and rarely have trouble sleeping but that night I was tossing and turning over and over. Left side right side over and over. At late early morning I turned over and there was an audible pop in my right shoulder. My tennis elbow was GONE! Strange but true story. Perhaps that stone could help others with their ailments. Got nothing to lose the way I see it. Please report back to me of your results.
