This Will Cripple 95% Of Plasterers…

[@natoyle]

I'm a physiotherapist. Best thing for it would be to load the tendons in isolation when you're not working using weight/ resistance bands. Tennis elbow refers to a tendinopathy - Think of it as a load intolerance issue, you're using these tendons day in and day out when plastering but they can't quite keep up with the demands. If you load them to become even stronger they are able to manage the task better but continue with strapping and pain relief to help off set pain. Tendons respond better to exercise loading treatment in the longer term, especially tennis elbow with what the research tell us. Corticosteroid injections are very short term with tennis elbow < 6 weeks generally and repeat doses increases risk of rupture.

[@JustTis]

I think sometimes a little change in technique can help. I’m 28, 8 years in, and feel my shoulders a lot. I use more leg movement less arm rotation now and it helps a lot. I feel like I observed you doing like quite an aggressive ‘throw off’ at the end of your trowel, you lay, come back, run through it again and really come off hard, try easing off that a bit see if it helps at all. Don’t want to come across condescending just sometimes people don’t mention these things and it can be as simple as that making your day more comfortable. Big up on another quality vid

[@jasonmacgregor325]

Go and see a chiropractor. I was told 20 years ago by a doctor to give up plastering as I'd had my quota of cortizone injections . The pain was excruciating every stroke of the trowel. Long story but a chiropractor sorted it out in 2 sessions . He explained the elbow was inflammed because I'd damaged my neck and shoulder from over stretching with heavy trowel, because these were not working properly the elbow was taking the hit and becoming inflammed . Honestly go and see one. NHS Gps are not trained or specialized enough, all they do is treat the symptoms and do not try and sort the cause . Ive never had tennis elbow since and at 53 am still doing as much in a day as when I was 33 .

Love watching a master at work. I had two walls in a back bedroom to plaster, I`d DIY plastered before at my Mums thirty years ago, but it was hard going and though Mum thought I did a decent job, I didn`t reckon it was that good. I wanted to get it right this time and watched a few of your videos, these were a great help and I managed to accomplish the job without too much trouble, save for the plaster mix going off due to the warm weather we`ve been having. Thanks so much for producing these videos Blaine, you really are a credit to your trade and you earn every penny.

I've had tennis elbow a few years ago working at the Toyota factory, I ended up having the steroid injection which did get rid of it but it ultimately came back. I left there and just got a factory job packing and it's gone away. I'm now looking at getting into plastering, I'm attending college alongside working full time from September. I'm scared it'll come back. I know plastering is hard work, despite being 38 years old and a woman, I'm not afraid of hard work 💪🏻😁

Hi dude, I had tghe tennis elbow quite bad a few years back. I know this will sound a bit weird, but at its worst when I was at my peak in coverage and ego. Then I was using a refina 18inch steel plaster trowel. I liked the size but always felt it a struggle laying on as it could take the whole hawk full in a single go. I treated myself to a Marshall Town 18inch steel plaster trowel as it were slightly wider. What I found was that just this extra width must have narrowed the angle at the wrist when applying the plaster, which in knock on reduced the stress at the elbow. Today 15 years on I can say that I hardly get the pain at all like I used to. This is a true story. Hope you find a simple solution as I did. Pain killers daily, not good...

[@qualcommchalloner9551]

Yes really the only reason you think it's getting better, is your getting older and just a little wiser, rest is the only way 🤷‍♂️

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Great advice, I’ll look into this. Thank you and well done for finding your cure - good on you!! Thank for watching my friend 👍

[@christ3868]

Hi the support you are using does support the elbow but might not be the best for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). The best way to think of tennis elbow is that the major tendons from the muscles that extend the wrist have a common origin the lateral epicondyle with overuse this becomes inflamed and gives you pain. Rest is best but not always possible, have you tried a epi clasp? This acts like guitar fret clamp and does relieve the common origin to rest while you work. There are stretches/friction massage and exercises that can be done to manage it as well. If it becomes chronic from repeated overuse it can cause restrictive scaring and be difficult to clear up, prevention/management is better than a cure (injections/immobilisation/surgery) I've been a physio for 20 years and started plastering about 4 years ago. Keep up the good work 👍

And do daily stretches push your hand against a wall and move your body away from arm reallly stretch it ten times but turnt hand sideways and then do it again but with back of your hand on wall it does stretch it properly and you will defo feel the muscle being stretched , otherwise you will notice it gradually deteriorating man here’s to speedy recovery’s for both of us

[@glenndaly3975]

It is part of the physio treatment along with gentle strengthening. Also I know it sounds strange. If you look at reducing some carbs such as breads and pasta and nightshade vegetables. This can reduce arthritic pain, especially when taking 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with the mother (this is the part which helps) in a glass of water, morning and night. If it helps you in the way it did for me you won't need any tablets. I was at the point of considering surgery. Now pain has gone from 8-9/10 on most days to 2/10.

Wow that’s incredible!! Thanks for the support lads - I’ll try ask these suggestions. Thank you and well done Glenn

[@glenndaly3975]

@@PlasteringForBeginners should have mentioned I used to work as a Painter and decorator but now work as a physio. You can ice the areas for 20 mins. fill a polystyrene cup with water and stick in the freezer. Peel off the sides at the top and run under water to smooth the ice. Cover with a cold flannel and work on the sore points but look for the very worst points and press it in and hold until it decreases or becomes numb. Stick the cup back in the freezer to use again when needed. Have a look at any of the info on apple cider vinegar and reducing arthritis. I didnt believe it and I'm sure it won't work for everyone but for the potential benefit and low cost it's worth a try. I noticed a difference in 3 days, not sure how long it will take for others.Dont get me wrong there will still be some pain, but it's a hell of a lot less. Brufen to reduce inflammation is OK in the short-term but longer term isn't good for the stomach and would ony advise for the worst days if no stomach ulcers, otherwise avoid. Injections are hit and miss and very short term given occupation causing the problem. The carbs reduction was noted during keto dieting as reducing arthritic pain but also lots of other places mention it along with nightshade veggies. As with anything I always take advice on remedies with a pinch of salt, as im sure most will reading this, but all info can be freely searched online and I'm not directing anyone to specific products or websites. Just advice, to keep you working, and as pain free as I can. Hope it helps.

It was tough everything was slow going, I'm back using my right hand now tho. Even just making a fist can irritate the tendons so I tried to keep it as relaxed as possible and a strap around my forearm much as possible.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Fair play Stephen - that sounds insane! Hope it’s better now my friend

Why did you bond all them walls?

[@bencrane7005]

Beautiful work 👏

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you mate!

Most food supplements are garbage check out The Peoples Chemist. Plastering one of trades looking at my brick walls I’d like to learn.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thanks for the suggestion mate - I’ll look into it. Thank you my friend!

Mate for only the second time in 22 years I’m dealing with tennis elbow only this time it’s savage, been 8 months now and I can barely hold a cup of tea, got naproxen off the docs but sod that for long term use, just started prp injections this week and praying they do some magic soon 😖

[@mrwright5699]

Try an osteopath or something mate. The bloke I go to said to me that's not tennis elbow and did something to my arm and it mended it.

[@bricky5862]

@@mrwright5699 cheers mate but unfortunately mines definitely tennis elbow, I paid to see a specialist private, and the orthopaedic who’s doing the injections confirmed it, it would heal easy enough with most people but us lot are knackered if it happens

[@ptolemyauletesxii8642]

No, don't go see an osteopath. That's like going to an astrologer.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Sorry to hear that mate. What a nightmare - hope the injections help pal

[@richwild4025]

I PVA corners and use pink grip for beading. The only use for it but its good to skim in about ten minutes

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Good ideas - cheers pal!

[@alantippett7602]

I use one of those straps, they do help a bit but dont wear it for too long at a time. Tennis elbow can suddenly go and come back unfortunately. I now use knee pads as well.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers pal! Knee pads are a must!!

[@davidfoley8189]

Classy bit of work. I love jobs like that.4 cod liver oil tabs a day really helps

Sorry to hear that pal. In sure it’s coming!

[@Lemon-squeezer]

Trouble with doctors they just wanna throw tablets and pain killers at the problem rather than find the cause and go at it from there things like this are definitely a repetitive problem more than likely the problem is a tight muscle within the tricep area that’s pulling on the tendon attached to the other end of the bone strengthen and stretch your tricep muscle and you should feel some relieve within 2weeks after a month it should be gone

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you so much for this information mate - I really appreciate that. I’ll give it a go…thank you

Hi mate. Love the videos cheers. I find when i use the speed skin,it pulls the plaster off the wall,any tips on the best time to use it?

I'd make sure its wet and have it as close to the wall as possible. Are you using the right way round?

They can take a little while to break in. It’s like a trowel - the more you use it the better it gets. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hope you're not in too much pain and you manage to get it under control somehow mar mate. How satisfying is plastering though! Especially like you said, on the intricate areas when they look the bo11ox at the end 👌 😍 Lovely to see the bab bless her, she's the spit of your wife i think. Take care and see you on the next one.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Hi Tara!! I’m getting through it - it’ll be fine I’m sure. Sounds like you’re still loving the Plastering which is great. Fair play…the results you shown were brilliant so make sure you keep it up.
