And it’s on the rise in both prevalence (more injuries) and treatment costs – projected to reach 10 BILLION dollars annually by 2022!

(But how much of that is spent on “symptom chasing” as opposed to truly treating the underlying injury?)

Tennis Elbow Treatment Strategy - Tennis Elbow 101


In the previous episode 'Epicenter At The Epicondyle' we talked about the nature of Golfer's and Tennis Elbow injuries…

Including how the injury is almost always a gradual, chronic one – Not sudden and acute…

And how the problem is one of Degeneration – Not inflammation. How it's really Tendinosis not Tendonitis.

And THAT calls for a completely different treatment approach!

So, now we're going to map out that strategy, which is going to focus on the big objective, of reversing the tendon degeneration.

And here's the link to the article and video I mention in the episode:
