Exercise Tennis Elbow – But Don’t Overstretch?

In this video, Coach / Kinesiologist, Eric Wong of Precision Movement demonstrates three exercise techniques for treating Tennis Elbow.

Eric has specialized in training combat athletes, including national level amateur boxers, UFC and other fighters.

In the video description, he warns against the risks of “over stretching” – which he claims can cause further damage.

For my take on this, please see my post at Tennis Elbow Classroom:

Strength Coach Says: ‘Exercise Tennis Elbow – But Don’t Overstretch?’

Disparities Between Muscle & Tendon Growth Rates, Tendinopathies & Sport-Specific Strength Training Programs

This video, by Dr. Vizniak, of ProHealthSys, discusses the disparities between muscular and tendinous growth rates, Tendinopathies and other tendon injuries – and the long-term effects of sport-specific strength training programs.

Comparing the forearms of the Power Lifter and Rock Climber, Dr. Vizniak explains how the disparate, long-term demands of these two activities have resulted in very obvious tendon differences.

The forearm musculature of the two men appears similar – but the tendons of the Rock Climber are obviously twice (or nearly twice) the size of the Power Lifter’s tendons.

Dr. Tanner Alden, the Rock Climber, explains how the process of ‘Muscle Hypertrophy’ produces a much faster increase in muscle mass than the tendons of that muscle are INITIALLY able to adapt to.

When Do You Need An MRI For Tennis Or Golfer’s Elbow?

When should you consider getting an MRI if you have a Golfer’s or Tennis Elbow injury?

Allen Willette from Tennis Elbow Classroom answers this question in this podcast episode.

Which also covers several key, related questions including:

• Do I need an MRI to diagnose my Tennis or Golfer's Elbow?
  
  
• When is the right time to get an MRI scan – If at all!?
  
  
• What will the MRI tell me... what do the results actually mean?
  
  
• And are there any good alternatives?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI for short) is considered the “gold standard” when it comes to imaging or “seeing” what’s wrong with soft tissues.

If there are any significant defects in your tendons the MRI will reveal these in the greatest detail now medically available.

This is the best objective measure (although not the only measure) you can get of how severe the damage to your tendons may be…

(Tendon damage being the essence of what Golfer’s and Tennis Elbow are.)

But there are several things to take into consideration about if and when you really need to go to the significant trouble involved in getting an MRI
