Glad to hear it.

@bloobloo it could be an elbow bursitis in which case you may want to have a Doctor drain the fluid from it.

@prettymel66 As you might imagine it is pretty hard for me to give you advice without assessing your specific problem. Tendons and ligaments can take a long time to heal. Healing is noted up to a year after an injury. You may want to talk to your Doctor about receiving a shot. We will be posting a video on phonophoresis in the next week or two. We often use phonophoresis or iontophoresis on tennis elbow. Good Luck.

wow! i have had tennis elbow for years and it came back last night after doing side lateral raises for delts with weights.

I've just tried this massage and it went numb like you said. It already feels better. Will do some light dumbell wrist raises to strngthen. again thanx, the pain has already nearly gone.

Thanks soo much for this video. My tennis elbow has been bothering me for almost a month. I massaged as you described, I could feel the tendons all knotted up and tangled while massaging. After about 7 minutes with good pressure. It feels great. The constant throbbing is gone. Thanks a million. Awesome!!!!

please reply. i have swelling on my elbow but it more towards the point of it. its in that area that is still apart of my forearm (meaning when i bend it stay parallel to that part of my arm). its making it so that i can fully extend my elbow and it hurts whenever i try. i first noticed it swelled up a few months ago when i went bowling. any idea on what it is?

hi, i had been following the gentle massage exercise for 2 weeks now. The pain has lessen but is still there. All in, I had tennis elbow for 2 months now.

Can u tell me, how long does it takes to heal by itself? Thks.
