I would also like to add that Deep Fascial release up the extensers along with Transverse friction around the Lateral epicondyle is a great treatment as well. What do you think?

This guy needs to work on his presentation and know his material better before posting a video. It almost seems like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

There's nothing else you can do to relieve the tension in that muscle??? What about STR (Soft Tissue Release) - lock into the muscle near the tendon and ask the client to circle their wrist - it works wonders!!!

Watch my video....it speaks about my arm.....it's funny!!!

not the longus brevis sir...its the extensor carpi radialis brevis...a small muscle unable to support lots of stress...like heavy 135 lbs barbell curls...it tears at just 1 inch below the epicondyle as well as the bone itself....tennis elbow....

777...no disrespect to you fine sir....you put in the work..yes overuse and age are the 2 main causes..sleep position of the arms is probably another....

i 'm sure he gives a nice massage, but as active in sports that i like to be, i've had some injuries and i want someone that knows what they're doing b/c i want to get back to playing that sport. i just think if you're going to put something out like that, you should know what you're talking about. it takes away from your credibility. i guess it's not that important for a message therapist. i guess if i want to just feel good, i wouldn't care.

research?? i think you have no idea how much research & studying i did for PT school. we even research stats on how effective diff techniques are; wrote essays on how tissue breaks down & repairs. yes john, i'm aware of the muscles that insert on the elbow, as well as nerves & ligaments; tendonitis also isn't just b/c of age, but b/c of repetitious/overuse. i went to grad school for over 2 yrs so i know. plus, not only can we massage but we do way much more than that that will be beneficial..sir
