This is actuly the first time I ever wrote a review or any kind of comment online. I have had tennis elbow for a year and a half and have tried everthing. I have had an appointment with a specialist and a couple different physical therpaist. After doing the ball exercise that you recommended my arm feels normal for the first time since I could remember. I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am incredibly grateful that you post such great content that helps people who need it. Thank you so much!
The ball thing is not a permanent fix. In my experience with shoulder problems, it can relieve the pain sometimes entirely, but it comes back. Do this in conjunction with other things.
After watching 5+ hours of YT videos and consulting with multiple professionals, this is Best tennis elbow advice I’ve heard yet. I also appreciate his no nonsense approach to video making. This guy is the real McCoy 10/10.
Wow, first thank you. I've had tennis elbow for 9 months and have seen numerous doctors. It's been a battle all year and I haven't been getting better and in a lot of pain. I watched this video and massaged my arm and did a version of the ball technique. The pain magically went away immediately. Like many others I'm glad I found this and am very grateful.
It's crazy how bad this injury can be. After dealing with a serious case, I did 1 month no work with no use of either arm. Finally got to a 3lbs restriction and limited use, been that way for 3 months. I am finally starting to be able to strengthen my arm. I would recommend using caution working with physical therapy and not to push it to hard. Set me back I felt a couple of times. If your arm is sore, I'd recommend just message and stretch only until you basically have very little to no pain at all. Then start to introduce some weight. I'm 39 years old and work pretty hard and this completely stopped me in my track's. Also, another thing that helped was figuring out how to sleep with your arms somewhat in a neutral position. Figure this will take another 2 months of carful activity to hopefully not have it come back.
@@vitasagadinobradovic7918 I used a sleeve that kept my arm from bending. Can pick them up at rite aide. Or use a bandage or something so that your arm doesn't bend.
Infinite thanks! I just saw this video, and after viewing literally hundreds, suffering and having suffered from tennis elbow at two different times over the last ten years, I have no doubt this is the BEST and MORE HELPFUL tennis elbow treatment video I have ever seen. I’m not a guy that writes reviews, actually this is my very first review on UA-cam (been watching it for 15 years on a daily basis), but you truly deserve it for your fantastic contribution to my health, and to the health of many others. You went directly to the point, to THE point, with simplicity and humbleness. Congrats. Cheers!
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me that you have written this comment and it makes me happy that you found the video helpful and hopefully it helps you overcome your tennis elbow pain (if you have it). Best wishes, Ashley
I agree Zorba. Without a doubt, the best video on UA-cam to help eradicate tennis elbow. I just started doing some of the exercises and am feeling much better.
I've been dealing with tennis elbow for the past 10 months, have been very discouraged, and have watched many different videos about it on UA-cam. This is the most thorough explanation of both the causes and best exercises to recover from it that I've seen. I really appreciate it.
You're welcome! I'm so sorry to hear about your tennis elbow issues. Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video on tennis elbow. I’ve been dealing with the pain since December and have tried physio therapy, acupuncture, ice packs, heat packs, arm braces, you name it. Then I came across your video and have followed the first segment and I’m now pain free in just three days. Incredible!!!! I am now ready to move on to phase 2 and then 3. I can’t thank you enough. Sue Wasaga Beach Canada PS - I have now subscribed to your channel for future reference
I would love to see you do a video on what NOT to do while healing tennis elbow, because I want to start lifting a little again so I don’t weaken during healing but am not sure what weight lifting is good, not bicep curls but yes hammer curls?no tricep exercises? No planks (even on forearms)? It’s a fine line between resting it and strengthening it, your insight would be helpful tennis elbow is the worst!
Finally I’ve found a video that full explains the condition and breaks the recovery down into 3 phases which seems absolutely the right thing to do. After having followed the daily exercises from NHS practitioner ( who hasn’t even seen me so based on a phone consultation) I now know why all i am doing is aggravating the condition ( exercises contain all 3 phases at once which is at odds with your view). After having suffered for 6 months I think I need to concentrate on phase 1. Thanks
I had tennis elbow for 11 years. Finally went to the Doctor. He referred me to the hospital where I had an operation, which involved scraping the build up of ( whatever it is. Sorry can't remember) felt alot better but still unable to use without severe aching. Had 3 deep tissue injections. Still not brilliant.
I had tennis elbow for months, I thought I got better, so off to my HIIT class, and lifted some light weight, then pain came back! I found your video just now and watched carefully it seemed great and makes a lot of sense, will certainly do what you suggested in the video, thank you.
I have tennis elbow for the first time in my life. It’s been going on for a few weeks. I think it’s because I sleep in awkward positions which put a strain on my arm and have taken up knitting which has made things worse! I’m also a teacher and have been marking incessantly lately. I’ve been watching anything I can on TE treatment but you’re the only one who stresses the importance of the three phases, which other PTs don’t even mention at all. I started stretching exercises which have only increased the pain I’m in. I’m going to go back to the beginning and try to massage the pressure points first to deal with the pain. Thanks so much!
Hi Win. If you are experiencing any pain or your condition is getting worse because of the stretches/exercises, I would recommend that stop them and visit your doctor. Best wishes, Ashley.
Let me take this opportunity to thank you, sir. I have been suffering for unexplainable pain on my left elbow and I it really bothered me. I am feeling a lot better after trying the stretches you shared. GOD BLESS you sir!
Watched the other vids and no success with kettle or stretches…nothing. Tried first phase of this method and tennis elbow I’ve had over a month 95 percent gone in three days. Ready to progress to levels two and three and want to thank you for putting this out for people. This actually works!
We are both in our 80's and still believe in having a strong body and a calm mind. This was an excellent video and we learned a lot. We are doing research for our new YT channel that is all about healthy aging. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Thank you for this comment I hope you learned something that you can pass on to your viewers. I hope your channel continues to grow and you enjoy the process. Best wishes, Ashley
I’ve been dealing with this pain for over five weeks... After I checked this video and applied those exercises im starting feel a little bit better ...This video is so helpful !!!!
Thank you so much for this - I have early stage tennis elbow and all it needed was the massage to relieve it. I can now slowly build up the strength in my tendons using this video, and continue playing. So very generous of you to share this with us!
I've been massaging mine for about 3 days now. Slowly getting better. But for about 3 weeks I couldn't make a fist. I couldn't squeeze a toothpaste bottle. Pick up laundry. Even worse. I couldn't weight train or play hockey. Still had to shovel snow. Can't be helped and that's what made the recovery and healing take longer. I hope we don't get anymore snow for a while. I need to heal this. It's annoying as hell. Thanks for this doc. Appreciate it.
Lol, I did the stretch as I watched the video and received some relief. I'm an arborist and this is a very common problem in our industry. Great video!
I got hurt when I did the last of lateral raises. The pain did not go away for two months before I went to a doctor. He suggested that I have a hot pack on the inflamed area. It improved a lot in just four days, and then I will follow your steps. I am so grateful to see this flim by coninstance. Thank you.
I’ve had it for over 6 months. It started while lifting at the gym. I just muscled through it and never had it looked at. Fast forward to now. My coworker told me what it was so here I am. I’m gonna try these stretches. Thank you for the video.
Hi Ed, You're most welcome! Sorry to hear about your struggle with Tennis elbow. Have you seen a doctor about it? Do let me know how it goes with the stretches. I hope they help. Best wishes, Ashley.
Any luck? I've got it now and also just want to push through it,don't want to go without gym..was it the same pain throughout whole 6 months or did it get better?
The three phases you explained, and how to distinguish each phase, is what most of the therapists and even doctors miss. I had the serious condition after playing extensive badminton. I rested as per advise from docs. But, wasn't explained what next. They were just prescribing medicines and rest, even after 3 months of facing the problem! Now I understand that what I've is just sourness and I should start with stretching and strengthing. Thanks!
I have been battling with this injury for months. Thank you so very much for the informative video. I understand my injury much better and have a better idea of what to do at various stages and how to progress. Thank you!!
Very well put together video. In my lifetime, I have had tennis elbow twice & now feel it coming on again. This guy knows what he is talking about & obviously listens to his patients.
Thank you very much for taking the time to actually make a great informative video. You are the first person to actually explain it, and how to deal with it, correctly. A+ Thank you very much.
Hi John, You're most welcome! I'm so glad to hear the video was insightful. How is your elbow doing? Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
I am a mechanic and have had tennis elbow many times over the years. I just came to understand the mechanics of the elbow for the first time ever. Thank you!
You're most welcome Delia! Glad to hear the video was informative. How are you doing now? Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
@@PrecisionWellbeing hi bro Am Polet Khan from Bangladesh. My right elbow broken last one year ago, when i did accident that time i went hospital i make x-ray but x-ray results was no fracture. But second time x-ray saw the my Elbow broken. Give me any suggest for me
I am a professional pistol shooter in 10M airpistol ISSF category & I am suffering for this exact pain ... Thank you for the wonderful explanation and exercises ... This has given me a great relief... That you so much brother for uploading and explaining it so well 👌👌👌
You are most welcome. Really glad to hear you liked the video and that it has been helpful to you. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Amazing, inspiring video. 60 years old suffering for 4 months, (overdoing push-ups-caused me this painful ..) just found this video. I will definitely give it a try before going to a physiotherapist. I just love that part when you say go very slow, don't overdo it. we people tend to do it for sure. I just can't thank you enough for this amazing video.
Thank you! I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with elbow pain. Have you tried any of the exercises yet? Please do let me know which are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family. Best wishes, Ashley.
Big thanks from Bangkok, Thailand. I’ve been suffering with this pain for year. After reading all the positive reviews It gave me the strength to try again with hope. If I recover from this suffering I will come back to inform you again. Thanks
This was just what I needed! I'm a climber and started having lateral epicondyle pain a few weeks ago, took a couple of weeks off climbing and tried to rest it. The pain subsided but would just flare up whenever I did anything like picking up a kettle or even pinching a ziploc bag closed. Your point about massaging to relieve tension in the extensor muscles is brilliant; it just made 80% of my pain disappear like magic in 5 minutes!
Hi Jude, I'm so glad to hear the video proved helpful. I presume you are in phase 1 so the massage and a cold pack will do you a lot of good. Keep on with the treatment plan and let me know how it goes. Wishing you a smooth recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Best advice on UA-cam. I am in stage2/3 and this thing is a pain in the butt. Really effects my daily life. I was beating the battle and became too confident with my progress, lifted my welder and BOOM!! right back to stage 1. Want it GONE!! thanks for this video great advice.
Hi Jay, You're most welcome! Very true, tennis elbow requires a lot of patience and discipline for a smooth recovery. Just take it easy and remain consistent. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
I did this stretching exercises and I really feel better, now l can do more activities than earlier ,it's relief the pain. This is my first comment 😇 really it helps me ,and my life is changed , I can do something that I couldn't earlier 😊 Thank you so much doctor 💜💜 you are really a guardian angel 😍😍😍😍
Thank you! Your explanations are clear, straight to-the-point. Some others add all sorts of banter & chit-chat which just wastes viewers time; we're in pain! Also, that anatomical prop showing the muscles and tendons was really useful, for those of us whose studies are not in anatomy. Subscribed!
Great comprehensive video that stresses don’t exercise/stretch the muscle while still in pain. TE is a serious lingerer so patience, not aggressiveness, is the absolute key.
This is the best description video I have found and explains the condition very well, how to ease and then stretch out the affected area. Awesome, thank you.
Have had tennis elbow in my right arm for about 9-10 months. It came about from cycling and my bike not being set up correctly. I laid off the cycling over the winter and my arm was pain free. Stupidly thought I was cured. Went out on my bike yesterday for an easy 5 miler, woke up with tennis elbow pain. So now to adjust my bike again but I will be incorporating these exercises every other day. Just done the massage ball part which was very painful but oddly relieving. Will report back over the next few weeks/months. Btw - thank you for this no nonsense, informative and well structured video. The best one I have seen on YT, and I’ve watched LOADS!
Update - been doing the stretches (every day) and massage ball exercises (every other day) and so far so good. Went out on the same 5 mile bike ride and massaged my arm using the ball after my ride. The next morning I didn’t feel any pain in my arm. I have also adjusted my handle bars which feels much better. Still using the massage ball as it’s not quite there yet. Then on to the strengthening exercises
I definitely am gonna try the exercises shown in this video because I've been dealing with this pain for over six months now. Thank you good sir for the precise explanation of tennis elbow and whatever you've said, it is exactly the same thing with the pain and so on.
Hi @Kay Kay Do, You're absolutely welcome! Glad you found the video helpful. Please keep me posted on your progress! Wishing you all the best with your recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
I have been suffering by tennis elbow pain since 1 month but after watching your exercise video i used to exercised I got it big relief thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏
You're most welcome. I'm glad the video was able to shed light on your tennis elbow pain cause and that you have started making progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Great job. I will try this tonight. Was a little unsure about his qualifications when he said tea kettle, but he followed that up with coffee cup and redeemed himself. 👍🇺🇲
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don't worry, I'm all about the coffee! Mind you, over in the US coffee just isn't all that great ☕😂 Anyway I hope the rest of the video helps you. Let me know if you have any questions. Best wishes, Ashley
I'm so sorry to hear about your elbow pain issues. Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I've been having arm/elbow pain from an elbow injury. Dr told me I developed tennis elbow from it. Massaging the arm muscles really helped. Thank you for this video!
This is absolutely amazing. I'm actually a new sufferer of this TE thanks to carrying my 14KG baby around. I can't thank you enough for this video. So helpful!
Hi. Sorry to hear about that. Glad that you found the video and that it has been helpful to you. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Ya it's really work.... My mother is in pain from last year and now by doing these exercises, she is free from any elbow pain and it is possible within two days...... Thank you so much it's really work 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻... Again thankyou sir
Hi sir! I'm a tennis player and I suffer a lot from tennis elbow and this is definitely the best video I've found. I keep coming here every time I'm in pain and it always works perfectly :)
Hi Mike, You're most welcome! I'm so glad to hear the video is helpful. You also mentioned the tennis elbow is a recurring issue; this could be due to weak muscles hence leaving your elbow predisposed to the condition. Have you tried to strengthen the area? This should ideally prevent it from recurring so often. Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
This was so helpful! I injured my right elbow the weekend before Easter, and am still in that first phase because I've been jumping the gun trying to stretch and work it out when it's not been ready. 😓 Thank you for such a thorough explanation on this type of injury, and especially explaining the phases and when/how to move forward. I'm not doctor, but I do believe I've set myself back so many times already due to not knowing the phases. Thank youuuu 🥰
You're most welcome, Crystal! Glad you found the video helpful. I'm so sorry to hear about your elbow injury. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I have a lot of pain, and it’s not improving. Tonight I started with the ball and it’s painfull but it feels good. The difference with the ball on my good arm and the bad arm is gigantic. I’m convinced I will get the pain down with the ball. Thank you for your clear explanation, it will help me for recovery.
Hi Andre, You're most welcome! I'm happy to hear the video was helpful. Remember not to over exert yourself with the ball exercises; we don't want to cause any additional harm. If the pain is really bad, consider starting with an ice pack first to get the pain down before moving to the exercises. Do let me know how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.
Excellent video - thank you. I developed tennis elbow as a result of lots of ironing and clipping threads while making masks! I now work only 3 days a week (M,W,F) to give my muscles a break. I've had physio on my elbow and am now wearing a brace. I'm slowly starting the stretches and lots of icing and the pain is slowly subsiding. I have to keep working until we no longer have to wear masks here in Canada so I guess my question is, by continuing to work 3 days a week, am I doing more harm than good on the elbow even though it's healing. I'm hoping once the masks are done, my are returns to normal!
This is the best video I found so far! I have tennis elbow for 6 months already, and my nervous system is included. I am on sick leave, changed my diet, got a psychoterapeut, started daily meditation and walking, going weekly to acupuncture and physiotherapy. I wish I saw this video earlier, your exercises are showing great results and are now on the top list for me. Thank you so much!
I've watched many videos on elbow pain and yours really describes what I'm feeling... And I appreciate that you focus on relieving the pain 1st as opposed to just getting into stretching and strengthening. Great video... very informative... thank you.
Hi Steve, You're most welcome! I'm so glad you found the video informative. Exactly, its important to get out of pain first before starting stretches to avoid any further damage. What phase of recovery are you in? Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
This was the first video to explain what tennis elbow is, and what's happening to cause the pain. Great! The 3 phase approach to treatment is so sensible as well as your approach to exercises, which are well explained. I will have to watch again to practise the exercises, but am looking forward to improvement and re-strengthing my elbow . Cheers.
This is really helpful. Thank you! I like how you break down the 3 stages. Stretching and strengthening have not been working lately and in fact, have made things worse. So massaging only for now is the solution for me since the area is so inflamed and painful. The way you explain the difference between rolling the ball vs. putting pressure on trigger points around the painful area has made a world of difference.
Hi @Gaëlle Gourgues , That's great to hear! So glad to hear the video proved helpful. I hope you continue to make improvements. Let me know how you get on. Best wishes, Ashley.
I’ve recently run into some tennis elbow in my right arm. From golfing. I went through a period where I was unintentionally dropping my shoulders In My down swing and jamming the club into the ground. That energy reverberated up through the club and into my elbow. It’s getting better now but the tip of my elbow is still fairly sensitive and feels bruised. I got a Shock Doctor Tennis Elbow support strap with the pillow pocket putting pressure in the same manor as the tennis ball in this video, but it’s constant and it was instant relief from pain. This video has been extremely helpful in helping me understand why my body is hurting! Thanks!
The most amazing thing is that you have experienced it and found ways to get better! I love how practical and informative this video is. Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve learned a lot in only 20 mins. Please make more of this good stuff!
Only your explanation really helps me to treat well my elbow. Before I saw this video I made all the mistakes that you mentioned: too much pressure, too many repetitions, every day... In the end of the day it just increased the pain. Thank you for help 🙏
After massaging with a lacrosse ball, feeling a lot better, tried many other suggestions from my other PTs on UA-cam, but only this worked for me! Thank you!
Thanks so much. I’ve been struggling with this pain for some time and it’s been a problem for me at work especially. Your video is excellent! The information you explain and your delivery is perfect. Thanks again for helping me.
You're welcome, Brad! I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with elbow pain. Have you tried any of the exercises yet? Please do let me know which are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family. Best wishes, Ashley.

Well done video. Great explanations. Thanks for the timestamp portions - those will make it easier for me to return as I need to review the next steps and the exercises.
Thank you for the kind words Jeanie and you're absolutely welcome! Glad to hear the massage technique is helpful. Please let me know how you progress. Wishing you a speedy recovery from all of us hear at PWG! Best wishes, Ashley.
I just turned 50 and few months ago (wow, can’t believe I’m writing that 😮) but I started working out again after a good 10 plus years of not. I always heard about tennis elbow but didn’t know what it was and for the first time I think I have it now. It’s very painful. I’m watching the video after reading through all of the wonderful comments so I’ll thank you in advance for the help I’m about to get from this. 👍
Excellent video. I've been in pain and stopped cycling, filling kettles and doing any planks etc in yoga...not really improving so I am definitely going g to try the 3 phases you describe and work carefully towards the stretching and exercises. Thank you so much for sending out this great clear and informative YT video.
This is the best video for tennis elbow 👍. I was doing very good until i started doing my upper body workout with 7 lb weight & it got irritated again😒I have no patience...now holding a kettle is an issue again so I will start again by massages & follow what you show in the video. Thank u🙌
I’ve been dealing with this pain for over three weeks. I did these exercises, the pain was gone the next day. Thank you! I will be adding these to my daily stretching.
@@PrecisionWellbeing I have not seen a doctor yet. I’m gonna start the stretches in the morning before work. I’ll come back and let you know how it went. Thank you again.
@@fadezs2620 I had to sleep with my arm bent, hand on my chest. I also had to wear an elbow wrap. I followed the video, now the pain is gone. The worse pain was in the morning.
I’m just suffering the condition currently. Thank you for sharing. I did google this condition as well but in your video it breaks down into phases in which the internet doesn’t mention. Thank you.
Hi Ana Maria, You're absolutely welcome! I'm glad the video was able to fill the gap for you in terms of tennis elbow. Do let me know if you try any of the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thanks so much for this. Your advice is really helping. I was playing guitar too much, didn't think it was possible, but I ended up with a lot of pain in my fret side arm.
i have one of those lacross balls and yellow!! I tried the pressure point with the ball and almost cried on one of the points... I wasnt expecting it!! but it actually worked ! I will keep this video as it's helping me a lot
I have a burning pain on the outside of both forearms, slightly "down" from the area you described in the video. My pain is constant, 24/7 even at rest. It didn't progress to being painful at rest, it started like that. In fact, it doesn't hurt more at use, but it "builds" up the pain, so that pain at use and at rest becomes worse. I've had this for over 4 months now with no change, except for that it goes up and down in "waves". It started from lots of Computer work in February. I can't find a painful point when I perform the stretches, and it's generally very hard to feel a stretch. My muscles are very tensed up in the forearms, and I've been unable to find any sort of relief. The constant pain quickly becomes unbearable for a few days if I sit at the computer for a few minutes, making life very difficult, as I'm a computer science graduate student... My doctor quickly labeled this as tennis elbow, do you think this might be something else, or can tennis elbow follow this pattern?
Look up Stretches and Exercises for your Brachialis Muscle. It sounds like this is what’s bothering you, if you extend your wrist or fingers and feel pain, it’s from the extensors in your forearm and Brachialis. Your Brachialis is engaged when sitting at a desk and arms bent at ~90deg. This deactivates the bicep and the stress is on that muscle and your forearm.
This is the best video I've come across so far in my search for solutions for my painful elbow. Picking up the kettle feels like the tendon is ripping apart. So painful.
I can certainly do a video about golfers elbow at some point. The advice is still the same but the exercises are opposite for golfers elbow. I hope that makes sense. Best wishes, Ashley
Watching from Ireland. I am going to see a physio tomorrow for my tennis elbow. I have tennis elbow for almost 2 months now. Never went to any doctor but I feel like it is getting worse so i had no choice. Thanks for the help I will try your advice today.
This video is great, thank you! First time i've had some sort of relief from elbow pain, and it only took five minutes. Looking forward to at some point being able to lift things again :)
Hi I have been suffering with tennis elbow now for months - very painful and hard to get rid off. I have found this very helpful and simple to follow - some of the exercises were no problem and some weren’t. I still have a lot of tenderness in my forearm so probably trying to hard. I think this injury is going to take a lot of patience and work !!
I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with elbow pain. Please do let me know which exercises are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family. Best wishes, Ashley.
If you have any info lmk I’m 18 and I’ve been suffering with this for 2 years on both elbows and whenever I bend it my elbow bone moves and it’s really uncomfortable
Definitely something to it. I had extreme tennis elbow on both arms from going too heavy for the last 3 months and it would not heal by itself. After only 3 days of doing the massages it has decreased the pain significantly. Now I am ready to start doing the stretches.
This was extremely helpful as I’ve been suffering from painful tennis elbow for over a month now. Have started to do the stretching and work with the lacrosse ball and feel like I’m making some progress now. Patience and not overdoing the lifting is going to be my biggest challenge. Much appreciated!
I do a lot of heavy, repetitive lifting at work, very hand strength heavy, have had tennis elbow for a few weeks now, feels like fire, so hard to get time off work or avoid lifting, worried I'm gonna have to leave my job to get enough rest.
I tried everything! This video and advice saved me a trip to a specialist. Within a day of doing these exercises, I am finally getting some relief. I had just about given up, but I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you!
Nice video. on 8 November 2022 I'm having surgery for carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, and lateral epicondylitis. I'm sure I'll be getting physical therapy but I'm glad I watched this video. You have a great way of explaining things without talkin down to people. Clear. Concise. Thank you!
Lee, I hope that your surgery goes well!! Please keep us posted on your recovery. Best wishes!! I’m considering upper lateral epicondylitis surgery myself.
@@Chase-yp3es I had my surgery yesterday. Surgeon said it went well. I'm doing well. Last night I switched from opioid to Ibuprofen. I feel much better w/o opioid. Quite a bit of swelling yesterday but is greatly reduced today. My arm and hand are numb but, again, better today. It'll take a while to heal but I'm thinking it's going to be faster than I was led to believe. I'm just glad it's over. I'll be less apprehensive when I get my left arm done. I hope this helps
Oh my god! I've been doing a bunch of stretches and nothing! I watched this episode, used my massage ball, as you suggested and BAM! My four week pain is instantly gone! I'm sure it'll be it back tomorrow but now I know this will work until it's fully gone. Thank you so much for posting this! You are the man! Cheers from Saratoga Springs, New York!
@@PrecisionWellbeing If the pain had been a steady 80% the last few weeks, this morning, I woke up and I would say it's at 40%!! Seriously, a huge difference! Thank you so so much! I swear I could cry right now, it's the longest I've had this pain and it was progressively getting worse. Thank you for taking the time to do this episode. I'm a UA-camr and have to use my right hand to play guitar, so this will have a huge impact even with my little Youtubing hobby!! Thank you again!! :')
Thank you for your video. I have been in terrible pain for 2 months taking anti inflammatory pills and now with this knowledge I feel I am ready to make some progress

The ball thing is not a permanent fix. In my experience with shoulder problems, it can relieve the pain sometimes entirely, but it comes back. Do this in conjunction with other things.
Yeah its badass. Equivalent to a deep tissue massage in my eyes.
Adding kettle bell swings will help with a permanent fix but the ball will give relief while you correct the structural issue.
@@trevbarlow9719 Not suppose to be buddy just a relief
@@TheWolfCub71 doing kettlebell cleans is what caused my tennis elbow to come back after 10 years of no issue so you have to think of that too..

Absolutely agree 100%! I've viewed other videos (some very helpful) but this video is the total package - have liked/subscribed and bookmarked!
Wow, first thank you. I've had tennis elbow for 9 months and have seen numerous doctors. It's been a battle all year and I haven't been getting better and in a lot of pain. I watched this video and massaged my arm and did a version of the ball technique. The pain magically went away immediately. Like many others I'm glad I found this and am very grateful.
It's crazy how bad this injury can be. After dealing with a serious case, I did 1 month no work with no use of either arm. Finally got to a 3lbs restriction and limited use, been that way for 3 months. I am finally starting to be able to strengthen my arm. I would recommend using caution working with physical therapy and not to push it to hard. Set me back I felt a couple of times. If your arm is sore, I'd recommend just message and stretch only until you basically have very little to no pain at all. Then start to introduce some weight. I'm 39 years old and work pretty hard and this completely stopped me in my track's. Also, another thing that helped was figuring out how to sleep with your arms somewhat in a neutral position. Figure this will take another 2 months of carful activity to hopefully not have it come back.
Sleep how?? It's killing me no metter how i sleep
@@vitasagadinobradovic7918 I used a sleeve that kept my arm from bending. Can pick them up at rite aide. Or use a bandage or something so that your arm doesn't bend.
Infinite thanks! I just saw this video, and after viewing literally hundreds, suffering and having suffered from tennis elbow at two different times over the last ten years, I have no doubt this is the BEST and MORE HELPFUL tennis elbow treatment video I have ever seen. I’m not a guy that writes reviews, actually this is my very first review on UA-cam (been watching it for 15 years on a daily basis), but you truly deserve it for your fantastic contribution to my health, and to the health of many others. You went directly to the point, to THE point, with simplicity and humbleness. Congrats.
Cheers!
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me that you have written this comment and it makes me happy that you found the video helpful and hopefully it helps you overcome your tennis elbow pain (if you have it). Best wishes, Ashley
You're right. Tried a few videos but this this one is more useful and helpful. Thanks a lot.
I agree Zorba. Without a doubt, the best video on UA-cam to help eradicate tennis elbow. I just started doing some of the exercises and am feeling much better.
Thank you Anie I appreciate that and I'm really glad it helps. I wish you a full recovery. Best wishes, Ashley
Thank you Rich I appreciate your comment. I hope you manage to quickly overcome your tennis elbow. Best wishes, Ashley
I wish I had found this video a year ago. So well articulated, easy to understand, and lots of info on potential pitfalls. Thank you.
You are most welcome! Glad you found the video helpful. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
I've been dealing with tennis elbow for the past 10 months, have been very discouraged, and have watched many different videos about it on UA-cam. This is the most thorough explanation of both the causes and best exercises to recover from it that I've seen. I really appreciate it.
You're welcome! I'm so sorry to hear about your tennis elbow issues. Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video on tennis elbow. I’ve been dealing with the pain since December and have tried physio therapy, acupuncture, ice packs, heat packs, arm braces, you name it.
Then I came across your video and have followed the first segment and I’m now pain free in just three days. Incredible!!!! I am now ready to move on to phase 2 and then 3.
I can’t thank you enough.

I would love to see you do a video on what NOT to do while healing tennis elbow, because I want to start lifting a little again so I don’t weaken during healing but am not sure what weight lifting is good, not bicep curls but yes hammer curls?no tricep exercises? No planks (even on forearms)? It’s a fine line between resting it and strengthening it, your insight would be helpful tennis elbow is the worst!
Finally I’ve found a video that full explains the condition and breaks the recovery down into 3 phases which seems absolutely the right thing to do. After having followed the daily exercises from NHS practitioner ( who hasn’t even seen me so based on a phone consultation) I now know why all i am doing is aggravating the condition ( exercises contain all 3 phases at once which is at odds with your view). After having suffered for 6 months I think I need to concentrate on phase 1. Thanks
You're most welcome Kevin! I'm so thrilled to hear the video was insightful. Please do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.

I was just diagnosed with tennis elbow and I was so lost. Thank you for your help.
I had tennis elbow for 11 years. Finally went to the Doctor. He referred me to the hospital where I had an operation, which involved scraping the build up of ( whatever it is. Sorry can't remember) felt alot better but still unable to use without severe aching. Had 3 deep tissue injections. Still not brilliant.
I had tennis elbow for months, I thought I got better, so off to my HIIT class, and lifted some light weight, then pain came back! I found your video just now and watched carefully it seemed great and makes a lot of sense, will certainly do what you suggested in the video, thank you.
You are most welcome! Glad you found the video helpful. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
I have tennis elbow for the first time in my life. It’s been going on for a few weeks. I think it’s because I sleep in awkward positions which put a strain on my arm and have taken up knitting which has made things worse! I’m also a teacher and have been marking incessantly lately. I’ve been watching anything I can on TE treatment but you’re the only one who stresses the importance of the three phases, which other PTs don’t even mention at all. I started stretching exercises which have only increased the pain I’m in. I’m going to go back to the beginning and try to massage the pressure points first to deal with the pain. Thanks so much!
Hi Win. If you are experiencing any pain or your condition is getting worse because of the stretches/exercises, I would recommend that stop them and visit your doctor. Best wishes, Ashley.
Let me take this opportunity to thank you, sir. I have been suffering for unexplainable pain on my left elbow and I it really bothered me.
I am feeling a lot better after trying the stretches you shared. GOD BLESS you sir!
Hey Conrad, Happy to hear that the stretches have helped. Do let me know which you found most effective. Best wishes, Ashley.
Watched the other vids and no success with kettle or stretches…nothing. Tried first phase of this method and tennis elbow I’ve had over a month 95 percent gone in three days. Ready to progress to levels two and three and want to thank you for putting this out for people. This actually works!
We are both in our 80's and still believe in having a strong body and a calm mind. This was an excellent video and we learned a lot. We are doing research for our new YT channel that is all about healthy aging. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Thank you for this comment I hope you learned something that you can pass on to your viewers. I hope your channel continues to grow and you enjoy the process. Best wishes, Ashley
I’ve been dealing with this pain for over five weeks... After I checked this video and applied those exercises im starting feel a little bit better ...This video is so helpful !!!!
You're most welcome Kelvin! So glad to hear the video was helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you so much for this - I have early stage tennis elbow and all it needed was the massage to relieve it. I can now slowly build up the strength in my tendons using this video, and continue playing. So very generous of you to share this with us!
That's great to hear Gareth! I hope you continue to make improvements. Let me know how you get on. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
@@PrecisionWellbeing how to massage in phase 1
I've been massaging mine for about 3 days now. Slowly getting better. But for about 3 weeks I couldn't make a fist. I couldn't squeeze a toothpaste bottle. Pick up laundry. Even worse. I couldn't weight train or play hockey. Still had to shovel snow. Can't be helped and that's what made the recovery and healing take longer. I hope we don't get anymore snow for a while. I need to heal this. It's annoying as hell. Thanks for this doc. Appreciate it.
Lol, I did the stretch as I watched the video and received some relief. I'm an arborist and this is a very common problem in our industry. Great video!
You're most welcome! Glad to be of assistance! I hope you continue to make improvements! Best wishes, Ashley.
I got hurt when I did the last of lateral raises. The pain did not go away for two months before I went to a doctor. He suggested that I have a hot pack on the inflamed area. It improved a lot in just four days, and then I will follow your steps. I am so grateful to see this flim by coninstance. Thank you.
I’ve had it for over 6 months. It started while lifting at the gym. I just muscled through it and never had it looked at. Fast forward to now. My coworker told me what it was so here I am. I’m gonna try these stretches. Thank you for the video.
Hi Ed,
You're most welcome! Sorry to hear about your struggle with Tennis elbow. Have you seen a doctor about it? Do let me know how it goes with the stretches. I hope they help. Best wishes, Ashley.
Any luck? I've got it now and also just want to push through it,don't want to go without gym..was it the same pain throughout whole 6 months or did it get better?
The three phases you explained, and how to distinguish each phase, is what most of the therapists and even doctors miss.
I had the serious condition after playing extensive badminton. I rested as per advise from docs. But, wasn't explained what next. They were just prescribing medicines and rest, even after 3 months of facing the problem! Now I understand that what I've is just sourness and I should start with stretching and strengthing. Thanks!
I have been battling with this injury for months. Thank you so very much for the informative video. I understand my injury much better and have a better idea of what to do at various stages and how to progress. Thank you!!
You're most welcome! I'm glad you found the video insightful. Best wishes, Ashley.
Very well put together video. In my lifetime, I have had tennis elbow twice & now feel it coming on again. This guy knows what he is talking about & obviously listens to his patients.
Thank you very much for taking the time to actually make a great informative video. You are the first person to actually explain it, and how to deal with it, correctly. A+ Thank you very much.
Hi John,
You're most welcome! I'm so glad to hear the video was insightful. How is your elbow doing? Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
I am a mechanic and have had tennis elbow many times over the years. I just came to understand the mechanics of the elbow for the first time ever. Thank you!
You're most welcome. I'm glad the video was able to shed light on your Tennis Elbow. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I am soo grateful. This has been bothering me since Jan 2021. The simple explanation helped me understand what is happening.
You're most welcome Delia! Glad to hear the video was informative. How are you doing now? Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.

You are most welcome. Really glad to hear you liked the video and that it has been helpful to you. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Amazing, inspiring video. 60 years old suffering for 4 months, (overdoing push-ups-caused me this painful ..) just found this video. I will definitely give it a try before going to a physiotherapist. I just love that part when you say go very slow, don't overdo it. we people tend to do it for sure. I just can't thank you enough for this amazing video.
Thank you! I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with elbow pain. Have you tried any of the exercises yet? Please do let me know which are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family. Best wishes, Ashley.
Did this end up helping your tennis elbow?
Big thanks from Bangkok, Thailand. I’ve been suffering with this pain for year. After reading all the positive reviews It gave me the strength to try again with hope. If I recover from this suffering I will come back to inform you again. Thanks
Glad to hear that the video has motivated you. Hope to hear back from you with positive remarks. Best wishes, Ashley.
This was just what I needed! I'm a climber and started having lateral epicondyle pain a few weeks ago, took a couple of weeks off climbing and tried to rest it. The pain subsided but would just flare up whenever I did anything like picking up a kettle or even pinching a ziploc bag closed. Your point about massaging to relieve tension in the extensor muscles is brilliant; it just made 80% of my pain disappear like magic in 5 minutes!
Hi Jude,
I'm so glad to hear the video proved helpful. I presume you are in phase 1 so the massage and a cold pack will do you a lot of good. Keep on with the treatment plan and let me know how it goes. Wishing you a smooth recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Did the pain go away completely?
Did it fully fix your problem?
Best advice on UA-cam. I am in stage2/3 and this thing is a pain in the butt. Really effects my daily life. I was beating the battle and became too confident with my progress, lifted my welder and BOOM!! right back to stage 1. Want it GONE!! thanks for this video great advice.
Hi Jay,
You're most welcome! Very true, tennis elbow requires a lot of patience and discipline for a smooth recovery. Just take it easy and remain consistent. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
Good to mention the three stages. Most other physiotherapists seem not to know about them. It likely makes a difference in therapy sequences.
Hi @Guido Vanhaleweyk,
Thank you! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Best wishes, Ashley.
I did this stretching exercises and I really feel better, now l can do more activities than earlier ,it's relief the pain. This is my first comment 😇 really it helps me ,and my life is changed , I can do something that I couldn't earlier 😊 Thank you so much doctor 💜💜 you are really a guardian angel 😍😍😍😍
You're most welcome! Happy to hear the video helped. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you! Your explanations are clear, straight to-the-point. Some others add all sorts of banter & chit-chat which just wastes viewers time; we're in pain! Also, that anatomical prop showing the muscles and tendons was really useful, for those of us whose studies are not in anatomy. Subscribed!
Hi Vere. Glad to hear that you find my content helpful. Wishing you a steady recovery. Please keep me posted on how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.
Great comprehensive video that stresses don’t exercise/stretch the muscle while still in pain. TE is a serious lingerer so patience, not aggressiveness, is the absolute key.
This is the best description video I have found and explains the condition very well, how to ease and then stretch out the affected area. Awesome, thank you.
Thank you so much! Glad you found the video helpful. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
Have had tennis elbow in my right arm for about 9-10 months. It came about from cycling and my bike not being set up correctly. I laid off the cycling over the winter and my arm was pain free. Stupidly thought I was cured. Went out on my bike yesterday for an easy 5 miler, woke up with tennis elbow pain.
So now to adjust my bike again but I will be incorporating these exercises every other day. Just done the massage ball part which was very painful but oddly relieving. Will report back over the next few weeks/months.
Btw - thank you for this no nonsense, informative and well structured video. The best one I have seen on YT, and I’ve watched LOADS!
Update - been doing the stretches (every day) and massage ball exercises (every other day) and so far so good. Went out on the same 5 mile bike ride and massaged my arm using the ball after my ride. The next morning I didn’t feel any pain in my arm. I have also adjusted my handle bars which feels much better.
Still using the massage ball as it’s not quite there yet. Then on to the strengthening exercises
I definitely am gonna try the exercises shown in this video because I've been dealing with this pain for over six months now. Thank you good sir for the precise explanation of tennis elbow and whatever you've said, it is exactly the same thing with the pain and so on.
Hi @Kay Kay Do,
You're absolutely welcome! Glad you found the video helpful. Please keep me posted on your progress! Wishing you all the best with your recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.

Did this ever work? Curiously, not many replies that it fixed their problem.
I have been suffering by tennis elbow pain since 1 month but after watching your exercise video i used to exercised I got it big relief thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏

Great job. I will try this tonight. Was a little unsure about his qualifications when he said tea kettle, but he followed that up with coffee cup and redeemed himself. 👍🇺🇲

Hi sir! I'm a tennis player and I suffer a lot from tennis elbow and this is definitely the best video I've found. I keep coming here every time I'm in pain and it always works perfectly :)
Hi Mike,
You're most welcome! I'm so glad to hear the video is helpful. You also mentioned the tennis elbow is a recurring issue; this could be due to weak muscles hence leaving your elbow predisposed to the condition. Have you tried to strengthen the area? This should ideally prevent it from recurring so often. Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
@@PrecisionWellbeing You are correct indeed! I haven't tried yet to strengthen the area --- will start doing so in order to prevent :)
That's great! Keep me posted on your progress. Wishing you a smooth recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.
This was so helpful! I injured my right elbow the weekend before Easter, and am still in that first phase because I've been jumping the gun trying to stretch and work it out when it's not been ready. 😓 Thank you for such a thorough explanation on this type of injury, and especially explaining the phases and when/how to move forward. I'm not doctor, but I do believe I've set myself back so many times already due to not knowing the phases. Thank youuuu 🥰
You're most welcome, Crystal! Glad you found the video helpful. I'm so sorry to hear about your elbow injury. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I have a lot of pain, and it’s not improving. Tonight I started with the ball and it’s painfull but it feels good.
The difference with the ball on my good arm and the bad arm is gigantic. I’m convinced I will get the pain down with the ball.
Thank you for your clear explanation, it will help me for recovery.
Hi Andre,
You're most welcome! I'm happy to hear the video was helpful. Remember not to over exert yourself with the ball exercises; we don't want to cause any additional harm. If the pain is really bad, consider starting with an ice pack first to get the pain down before moving to the exercises. Do let me know how it goes. Best wishes, Ashley.
Excellent video - thank you. I developed tennis elbow as a result of lots of ironing and clipping threads while making masks! I now work only 3 days a week (M,W,F) to give my muscles a break. I've had physio on my elbow and am now wearing a brace. I'm slowly starting the stretches and lots of icing and the pain is slowly subsiding. I have to keep working until we no longer have to wear masks here in Canada so I guess my question is, by continuing to work 3 days a week, am I doing more harm than good on the elbow even though it's healing. I'm hoping once the masks are done, my are returns to normal!
This is the best video I found so far! I have tennis elbow for 6 months already, and my nervous system is included. I am on sick leave, changed my diet, got a psychoterapeut, started daily meditation and walking, going weekly to acupuncture and physiotherapy. I wish I saw this video earlier, your exercises are showing great results and are now on the top list for me. Thank you so much!
I've watched many videos on elbow pain and yours really describes what I'm feeling... And I appreciate that you focus on relieving the pain 1st as opposed to just getting into stretching and strengthening. Great video... very informative... thank you.
Hi Steve,
You're most welcome! I'm so glad you found the video informative. Exactly, its important to get out of pain first before starting stretches to avoid any further damage. What phase of recovery are you in? Do let me know. Best wishes, Ashley.
This was the first video to explain what tennis elbow is, and what's happening to cause the pain. Great! The 3 phase approach to treatment is so sensible as well as your approach to exercises, which are well explained. I will have to watch again to practise the exercises, but am looking forward to improvement and re-strengthing my elbow . Cheers.
This is really helpful. Thank you! I like how you break down the 3 stages. Stretching and strengthening have not been working lately and in fact, have made things worse. So massaging only for now is the solution for me since the area is so inflamed and painful. The way you explain the difference between rolling the ball vs. putting pressure on trigger points around the painful area has made a world of difference.
Hi @Gaëlle Gourgues ,
That's great to hear! So glad to hear the video proved helpful. I hope you continue to make improvements. Let me know how you get on. Best wishes, Ashley.
I’ve recently run into some tennis elbow in my right arm. From golfing. I went through a period where I was unintentionally dropping my shoulders In My down swing and jamming the club into the ground. That energy reverberated up through the club and into my elbow. It’s getting better now but the tip of my elbow is still fairly sensitive and feels bruised. I got a Shock Doctor Tennis Elbow support strap with the pillow pocket putting pressure in the same manor as the tennis ball in this video, but it’s constant and it was instant relief from pain. This video has been extremely helpful in helping me understand why my body is hurting! Thanks!

I just turned 50 and few months ago (wow, can’t believe I’m writing that 😮) but I started working out again after a good 10 plus years of not.

Oh no! I'm so sorry for your pain. I hope the exercises help. Best Wishes, Ashley.
I have a burning pain on the outside of both forearms, slightly "down" from the area you described in the video. My pain is constant, 24/7 even at rest. It didn't progress to being painful at rest, it started like that. In fact, it doesn't hurt more at use, but it "builds" up the pain, so that pain at use and at rest becomes worse. I've had this for over 4 months now with no change, except for that it goes up and down in "waves". It started from lots of Computer work in February. I can't find a painful point when I perform the stretches, and it's generally very hard to feel a stretch. My muscles are very tensed up in the forearms, and I've been unable to find any sort of relief. The constant pain quickly becomes unbearable for a few days if I sit at the computer for a few minutes, making life very difficult, as I'm a computer science graduate student... My doctor quickly labeled this as tennis elbow, do you think this might be something else, or can tennis elbow follow this pattern?
Look up Stretches and Exercises for your Brachialis Muscle. It sounds like this is what’s bothering you, if you extend your wrist or fingers and feel pain, it’s from the extensors in your forearm and Brachialis. Your Brachialis is engaged when sitting at a desk and arms bent at ~90deg. This deactivates the bicep and the stress is on that muscle and your forearm.
Brilliant advice, I've got it in both elbows and I can promise this advice is spot on
Thanks, this was really more helpfull than a trip to the doktor 🙏
You're most welcome! Glad you found the video helpful. Best wishes, Ashley.
This is the best video I've come across so far in my search for solutions for my painful elbow. Picking up the kettle feels like the tendon is ripping apart. So painful.
Thank you so much! Glad you found the video helpful. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you a lot, I have both a tennis elbow AND a golfer elbow on my right arm, this helped. Anything to do for the golfer elbow?
I can certainly do a video about golfers elbow at some point. The advice is still the same but the exercises are opposite for golfers elbow. I hope that makes sense. Best wishes, Ashley
@@PrecisionWellbeing That makes sense, thank you to confirm it.
Watching from Ireland. I am going to see a physio tomorrow for my tennis elbow. I have tennis elbow for almost 2 months now. Never went to any doctor but I feel like it is getting worse so i had no choice. Thanks for the help I will try your advice today.
This video is great, thank you! First time i've had some sort of relief from elbow pain, and it only took five minutes. Looking forward to at some point being able to lift things again :)
That's great to hear! I hope you continue to make improvements. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Hi I have been suffering with tennis elbow now for months - very painful and hard to get rid off. I have found this very helpful and simple to follow - some of the exercises were no problem and some weren’t. I still have a lot of tenderness in my forearm so probably trying to hard. I think this injury is going to take a lot of patience and work !!
I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with elbow pain. Please do let me know which exercises are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family. Best wishes, Ashley.
cheers. How about a stress ball - can this give relief and build up tendon strength by way of squeezing in different areas of the hand?
If you have any info lmk I’m 18 and I’ve been suffering with this for 2 years on both elbows and whenever I bend it my elbow bone moves and it’s really uncomfortable
Definitely something to it. I had extreme tennis elbow on both arms from going too heavy for the last 3 months and it would not heal by itself. After only 3 days of doing the massages it has decreased the pain significantly. Now I am ready to start doing the stretches.
Did it work?
Fantastic! You make great videos! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you Leandro! I appreciate your comment. Best wishes, Ashley
This was extremely helpful as I’ve been suffering from painful tennis elbow for over a month now. Have started to do the stretching and work with the lacrosse ball and feel like I’m making some progress now. Patience and not overdoing the lifting is going to be my biggest challenge. Much appreciated!
You are most welcome! Glad to hear that you found the video helpful. Please let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
I do a lot of heavy, repetitive lifting at work, very hand strength heavy, have had tennis elbow for a few weeks now, feels like fire, so hard to get time off work or avoid lifting, worried I'm gonna have to leave my job to get enough rest.
This really helps. Why does my doctor just say rest for a few months when everyone should be doing this 😂😂
You're most welcome Alex! I'm glad you found the video insightful. I hope you continue to make improvements! Best wishes, Ashley.
I tried everything! This video and advice saved me a trip to a specialist. Within a day of doing these exercises, I am finally getting some relief. I had just about given up, but I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you!
That's great to hear! I hope you continue to make improvements. Let me know how you get on. Best wishes, Ashley.
feel like this video deserves a nobel prize not too dissimilar as to the prize given to aspirine inventor etc..
Thank You So Much. I'm glad to hear the video is informative. Best Wishes, Ashley
Nice video. on 8 November 2022 I'm having surgery for carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, and lateral epicondylitis. I'm sure I'll be getting physical therapy but I'm glad I watched this video. You have a great way of explaining things without talkin down to people. Clear. Concise. Thank you!
Lee, I hope that your surgery goes well!! Please keep us posted on your recovery. Best wishes!! I’m considering upper lateral epicondylitis surgery myself.
@@Chase-yp3es I had my surgery yesterday. Surgeon said it went well. I'm doing well. Last night I switched from opioid to Ibuprofen. I feel much better w/o opioid. Quite a bit of swelling yesterday but is greatly reduced today. My arm and hand are numb but, again, better today. It'll take a while to heal but I'm thinking it's going to be faster than I was led to believe. I'm just glad it's over. I'll be less apprehensive when I get my left arm done. I hope this helps
It is so nice to see a no nonsense video about the content and not the presenter. Best i'v seen about these things.
I am glad to hear that you like the video. Best wishes, Ashley.
Oh my god! I've been doing a bunch of stretches and nothing! I watched this episode, used my massage ball, as you suggested and BAM! My four week pain is instantly gone! I'm sure it'll be it back tomorrow but now I know this will work until it's fully gone. Thank you so much for posting this! You are the man! Cheers from Saratoga Springs, New York!
You're most welcome Louis! That's great to hear! I hope you continue to make improvements. Please do keep me posted. Best wishes, Ashley!
@@PrecisionWellbeing If the pain had been a steady 80% the last few weeks, this morning, I woke up and I would say it's at 40%!! Seriously, a huge difference! Thank you so so much! I swear I could cry right now, it's the longest I've had this pain and it was progressively getting worse. Thank you for taking the time to do this episode. I'm a UA-camr and have to use my right hand to play guitar, so this will have a huge impact even with my little Youtubing hobby!! Thank you again!! :')
I did the exercises and totally worked.. I was surprised how effective it was.. I subscribed to the channel and loved it...
Thank you for your video. I have been in terrible pain for 2 months taking anti inflammatory pills and now with this knowledge I feel I am ready to make some progress
You're absolutely welcome! I'm happy to hear the video has been helpful. Please do let me know if you try any of the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
