Are Eccentrics The Best Exercises For Lateral Epicondylitis?
There’s a lot of talk lately about the benefits of ‘Eccentric Exercise’ in Tennis Elbow rehab – But can one type of muscle contraction be that much better than another?
Or is the eccentric rehab approach just another exercise fad that’s gotten a little too much hype lately?
Full story on rehab with Eccentric Exercise
(An ‘Eccentric’ contraction is simply the controlled lengthening of a muscle against resistance – Picture the lowering of a dumbbell weight in a Biceps curl, for instance.)
Based on several medical studies, there’s definitely evidence to support the idea that performing eccentric muscle contractions may (in certain cases) be superior to concentric ones when it comes to tendon rehabilitation.
This is especially true when it comes to Tendinosis, which most Tennis Elbow cases turn out to be.
A lot of the buzz seems to revolve around a single study – A small, but apparently successful study: Read the full post on Eccentric Exercise

Still Resting Your Tennis Elbow?... Why Rest Often Means “Rust”
Is rest really of any use in the treatment of your Tennis Elbow?
You'll typically hear how important it is to rest it as much as possible "While it heals" - Or so they say...
But the belief that healing will "just happen" in a nice, orderly fashion while you're resting, hoping and waiting is a major misconception when it comes to tendon injuries like Tennis Elbow.
See the full post on rest and Tennis Elbow Treatment with video and podcast
And learn why "You should rest it!" is not very useful advice when treating these tendon problems (especially Tendinosis)...
Hopefully before you waste several months resting only to find yourself no better off!
