I appreciate your integration of METs with soft tissue techniques! I use a similar integration of techniques in my own practice as an MT. I typically use an isometric contraction of the flexors during direct soft tissue treatment of the extensors as a purely isometric RI. Here you use the patient's MOVEMENT into flexion. Curious your thoughts on these differences in technique. Thanks for all the great content!

[@JohnGibbons]

The techniques work very well for my students and myself - regards JG

Thank you! First time in my life I have tennis elbow (probably due to 3 days of drilling (not used to it). anyway, it's for 3 weeks now, and horrible sharp pain). I hope this massage will help. How often should we do, and how long per massage?

[@JohnGibbons]

Hard to comment - once or twice per week is normal and dont treat it for to long as can irritate, regards JG

[@adr3y516]

Does anyone have results and experiences from this exercise?

[@basmaareej8634]

For common extensor group, whlie performing nmr technique why asked the patient to flex his wrist instead of wrist extension. Kindly elaborate.

[@JohnGibbons]

Because you want to lengthen the muscle whilst treating it, regards JG

Hey John. Ever had a patient with both medial and lateral epicondylitis? What would be your strategy?

[@JohnGibbons]

Probably look at the Cervical spine - regards JG

[@suruchitiku7277]

Thank you for the video. I have tendinitis. Do you think Its OK to start doing biceps curls with light weights (3kg) whilst I do massage and tendon exercises. I need to get back into lifting something. Have stopped for 3 months.

[@JohnGibbons]

You should be ok and the tendon needs to be loaded rather than complete rest, so worth a try, regards JG

What do you recommend for wrist pain? Hurts when I bend it.

[@JohnGibbons]

I would see a therapist like me where you Iive as sure they can help, regards JG

[@villavilla07]

Fantastic information John thank you. Could you do video going through positional release? I thought it was far to passive when I was first introduced to it but in practice I've had some incredible results. Works well on tennis elbow when the area is to irritated for heavier soft tissue work.

[@JohnGibbons]

Thanks and I have a video on positional release, regards JG

I'm trying to help my softball player. She was seen by a couple of trainers suggesting anti-inflamatory med , ice and rest. The rest isn't viable right now. It's going on three weeks, switched her fielding position from 3 to 2 so the throw isn't as long and fewer reps. Pain started in her forearm but has traveled to include the shoulder, ironically, it affects her throw more than hitting, though hitting the softball causes more of pain. I'm guessing, we should try this plus shoulder massage. Any advice you can give us, even suggesting where to go for a professional who does massage would be helpful. In our area the "massage" places are not for medical reasons.

[@JohnGibbons]

I would see an osteopath if you can - regards JG

[@rikybologna3579]

Can Medial Epicondylitis symptoms and/or nerve impingement ones be provoked by loose Scapholunate ligament? Thank you.

I would say no as the Ulnar nerve not related to that area of the hand, regards JG

My pain is minimal,but i got tingling...It has been 3 months now and still not healed...

Tingling might be neural related so get someone to look at your cervical area by someone who is appropriately trained, regards JG

I got forearm tendinitis from overworking my forearm from weightlifting. I did get a bump at the top of my forearm that is sore. I’ve been massaging it for about a week now. The pain has relived a lot but I still have the bump. I also have avoided weightlifting for the past 10-12 days. Anything else I can do?

[@JohnGibbons]

Its good that the pain has subsided - the bump might stay for a bit longer and try not to let it bother you, especially if pain free, regards JG

[@kaikani]

@@JohnGibbonsHello, thank you for your reply! Yes the bump is getting smaller still a little pain if I press on it. I ice it about 4 times a day and do the massages that you recommend. Do you recommend doing any light weight lifting to strengthen the forearm or avoid weights until complete healed?

[@LasloBOX]

John, please help this dosent work im 12 andplay baseball and had tennis elbow pain for 3 years.

You need to see a therapist who deals with this as massage I demonstrate in the video is great but might not work if the problem is coming from somewhere else, regards JG
