Eclectic Treatment Strategies for Lateral Epicondylalgia - Tennis Elbow

[@cornelus9979]

Like it very much! Clear explanation, nice step by step approach.

[@modernmanualtherapy]

Thanks! It's an oldie but a goodie!

[@qurat-ul-ainnaveed4267]

Excellent work!

[@TheStizzel]

Do you still use this approach? Do you have new clinical perls for tennis elbow?

[@modernmanualtherapy]

I’ve refined the approach over the years. You’ll need to screen the cervical spine first for any extremity condition. Full online seminar is here modmt.com/onlineseminar

This is a cool video, thanks!

[@camillagunnarsson519]

Lovely Video! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Parlandealey Flexible Elbow Process (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great one off product for learning how to cure tennis elbow without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my best friend Jordan at last got excellent success with it.

Thank you so much! Very knowledgeable person

[@modernmanualtherapy]

Maria Maria thanks for watching!

[@ilikepink2010]

Love your videos! Can you tell me if you need specific certification to use IASTM in clinic; I'm a brand new physio and IASTM isnt used much in my province - thanks!

[@Religiosofamily]

Thanks! Not at all, anyone can use it just like any Manual therapy. Training is available live theeclecticapproach.com and online at iastmtechnique.com

[@modernmanualtherapy]

No certification needed. Training helps we have a fully online course! iastmtechnique.com

Hey, Dr. E. The clinic at which I work has a few of your edge tools and we have been using a massage cream as a lubricant. Is this appropriate, or can you recommend recommend a different product? Albolene?

[@modernmanualtherapy]

staveb0mb thanks! Massage cream isn't appropriate for IASTM as it's not slippery enough. It has to be very oily like coconut oil or albolene. You should only be scraping as lightly as you can with as little friction as possible.

[@staveb0mb]

Modern Manual Therapy thank you!

[@modernmanualtherapy]

staveb0mb no problem! Someday I'll release my own EDGE Solution again

[@lovestheh20]

that thrust technique on the radial head is a lot better then the Paris E1 technique, especially the patient positioning.

[@modernmanualtherapy]

+lovestheh20 thanks! I don't even remember the E1 technique!

[@boscoblack]

What kind of thoracic a pic pathology would produce lateral elbow pain??

[@modernmanualtherapy]

I'm not sure what you're asking

[@boscoblack]

Modern Manual Therapy the “a pic” wasn’t suppose to be there. Sorry. Essentially what would you be screening the thoracic spine for that might cause lateral elbow pain?

[@Religiosofamily]

Ha! Not so much a screen but manipulating T4 area has been used as a shotgun to affect all kinds of conditions. Not sure if there is any evidence other than anecdotal.

[@boscoblack]

Erson Religioso III, DPT, FAAOMPT I see. Thanks buddy

[@havealookaraound]

Nice video! Can I ask how there may be a thoracic involvement which you mentioned in the beginning?

[@modernmanualtherapy]

Jason C not directly (other than T4 syndrome, which seems to mimic a lot of odd complaints). However, asymmetries, dysfunction in that area can cause shoulder and/or cervical dysfunction and needs to be addressed in upper quarter complaints that are not resolving.

[@havealookaraound]

Very true, do you have any theories for how T4 syndrome comes about? I was in a clinical placement once and there was a T4 syndrome which my supervisor treated partly by intermittent mobilisations of the 4th rib with an axillary approach. Do you have a specific T4 treatment you do? I would guess in most cases a PA manipulation would be good, would you angle yours more cranial or caudal? Thanks

[@modernmanualtherapy]

Jason C no theories for why it happens. The why also isn't as important as the how to treat it. Any PA will do but I prefer thrust because it's more conformable and literally faster. Direction likely doesn't matter except patient preference.

[@havealookaraound]

Great thanks.
