It doesn't matter if the pain is chronic or not, if you rest until it completely heals, it may NOT come back again. All those people you see with tennis elbow persisting for 1 year or 2 years the reason is because they abused it A LOT instead of stopping the activity that caused the pain. I've been resting tennis elbow for 2 months and it was because I abused of my elbow even with the pain. The pain is almost gone, but I still have to rest a couple weeks more at least.

are there any real eccentric contraction occurs in the affected forearm. The simple untwisting action done by the wrist is anyway enhanced by the elastic recoiling of the bar. But I think it is ideally streching rather than eccentrically strengthening it.
Can anybody clarify me about the mechanics involved in this exercise.

Is injured the hand is the right hand, the right hand grasps is above or under? Thanks you!

I notice that her left arm does the majority of the twisting and her right arm does the majority of the releasing. I am assuming that the arm that releases the twist is the affected side. Is this correct?

@rocktopovideos the right one

Thank you pazzmanmusic - I'm back in PT for chronic pain again, but it's a larger problem with neck and back - have a rotator cuff injury that is related to the tennis elbow that I didn't get treated before that's coming back from being on a computer too much but this bar really helps strengthen the arm - I have kept the elbow okay with it but it flares up the pain, just an old injury that doesn't completely heal - hope you are doing better?

@falcongirl99 how are you feeling these days?
Yes, there is an eccentric contraction. We have done electromyographic (EMG) studies demonstrating it's activation during the 'untwisting'.
