Hi Allen, I follow your #1 instruction: hands-on therapy for 2 days now, and I feel better, I dont feel pain especially during nite sleeping and early morning. How long we need to do hands-on therapy before continuing #2 (stretching) and #3 (forearm/elbow exercising)? how do we know when muscles or tendons are ready to do stretching or exercising? Because I'm afraid if I start exercising too soon, it'll make pain again. Thanks
NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!! The one and only treatment that you need is this............. Get a cotton sock (yes it's best to have cotton so you don't burn your skin) fill it with white rice, put it in the microwave on high for one minute, take it out put it directly on where it hurts and leave it on there for 5 minutes. Now you won't feel it working for 20 to 30 seconds but then watch out game on, when it starts to get too intense just move it around the area and you'll be fine and I guarantee that your tennis elbow pain will be gone almost immediately. Now I would recommend that you do this one or two more times just for general maintenance but after that, you shouldn't have any more elbow pain. You can thank me later Coach D.
Thanks for the kudos, Smash! - "FiveFrame" may think this is just a commercial with 0 content, but how many people realize that inflammation is part of the healing process, for one thing? So many Tennis Elbow sufferers waste HUGE amounts of time and money "chasing inflammation," miracle cures and quick fixes without ever learning how healing is supposed to work - and therefore never achieve it.
This is an incisive attempt to salve the public's common ailment, especially for tennis players. I think this is an excellent introduction to a system of healing that has obviously been clearly thought out. Been to massage therapists and those in the know are in agreement with what Alan is saying. Best Regards.
If everyone gave all their expertise and time away for free how would anyone make a living? Believe it or not, I'm not a gimmick or "quick fix miracle cure" seller just trying to make a fast, easy buck. I actually do make my living treating people's Tennis Elbow in my clinic - and I try my best to teach people how to treat their own Tennis Elbow in my self-help video program. I'm sorry if you felt that the knowledge I've shared for free was a waste of your time. Good luck to you.
I'm going over to your site - I really hope it works. I've had this condition for three months now, I believe from a summer spent doing packing and lifting boxes, as well as packing art objects three days per week. I have not found the right therapy yet, and was so happy to see your video.
+Scott Ferrer I think Acupuncture may be helpful for symptomatic relief, but I wouldn't expect it to change any of the underlying causes: The muscle and tendon adhesions / restrictions / scar tissue. In my perspective, that stuff has to be released by hand.
Hi Alan, thanks for the informative videos. I'm a bodybuilder who has been struggling with tennis elbow for a few months. I saw my physician and I took the advised 6 weeks off of training with my arm (which felt like 6 years). When I started training again I used a compression elbow brace. Pulling and curling motions don't impact my elbow however any pressing motion does. Is part I'd the solution more dreaded time off?
You're welcome, Matthew! I don't think you necessarily need more dreaded time off. I think most active, healthy people can continue with their sport/activity if they're doing enough therapy (manual/hand-on therapy, in my opinion) in between - Although I still think recovery time is just as important - If not more so, when one has Tennis Elbow. If you can take more recovery time between (upper body) workouts, rather than stopping completely for weeks at a time, that would be wise.
+Rene Lozano There are many factors in relieving tennis elbow pain at home. One resource I found that succeeds in merging these is the Freds Elbow Helper (check it out on google) definately the most useful guide i've seen. Check out all the awesome info .
Matt. What do you do for a living? Why don't you do that for free? You charge for your service or products, I imagine, but attack others when they ask for exchange. I would guess you are in your 20s or early 30s (the entitled to free everything generation). I don't like to pay either but if someone really does help me I am more than happy to exchange with them. Expecting something for free all the time and stealing the content and creation of others will ruin your income flows by the way.
u seriously wanna charge for teaching us to massage/ excerisize our tennis elbow? *sigh* what has this world come to. i just wasted my time watchig this video and and the other video on your website.
So whats the "best" treatment again??? This dispelled a few myths, gave a "dont do" list. At the end this video is just selling subscription. What a waste!!
Wanting something for nothing is a bad state to be in. Exchange with others and others will exchange with you. Complaining is a symptom of such behavior. Forget about the fact that he taught you about inflammation He has already helped you for free and you want more..
i love how everybody expects free consulting. folks do you expect free medical treatment?. you get free ace bandages tape or braces at the drugstore too? get real. your elbows hurt thats why you are here. me too. listen and make an intelligent choice. whining about having to buy a book or video that might help you? not intelligent. dont trust the guy? then move on and spend your money elsewhere. but for petes sake dont expect someone to develop expertise and then package it and deliver it to you instantly for nothing. do you complainers have jobs? does your employer give away your companys products or services for free? how about you? you work for free?
Well if someone deliberately presents a video titling in a way that leads people to believe it contains the information they are looking for you would expect it to contain the information. Otherwise they are a sham. These Tennis Elbow Classroom videos are full of the same repetitive dribble. They contain no positive remedies. Luckily there are plenty of other great videos presented by more philanthropically minded people with good info for free.
"Dribble" / "A sham" / Not "philanthropically minded" enough, huh? Well, I think I'll respond to this since you're one of the few critics who at least has the decency to remain civil and not engage in ad hominem and vulgarity! (Note to others: I will delete any comments containing vulgarity and personal attacks.) Notice that the title of this video is not "How To CURE Your Tennis Elbow In 30 Minutes Or Less For FREEEE!!" - Perhaps your expectation that it will contain actual how-to advice is fair - perhaps not. (Notice, however, that there are 4 times as many "Thumbs Up" votes as there are thumbs down.) To be fair, maybe this video is a little too "salesy" - but it was also one of my very first videos and I have long since decided to dial it back, and lately I don't even mention in my videos that I have a program that I sell. "Repetitive dribble" though? How many of my videos have you actually watched? NOTHING of value? Rather harsh, don't you think? Unfortunately, unlike Vimeo, where you can replace a video and keep the same link, you can not change / replace a video on TH-cam - You can only delete it and re-upload it, in which case all your views go to zero, your links deliver errors and embeds disappear. (I don't know if you realize that, not having any videos of your own on your channel, or any subscribers) So, based somewhat on feedback like yours, I might actually make some changes to some of my older videos if it were possible. I have to agree with JoshuaFinancialPL, (thank you for that) on the "free thing," though. I do see that a lot of people are giving away a great deal here, but that still doesn't mean one has the right to "expect someone to develop expertise and then package it and deliver it to you instantly for nothing."
Thanks for taking time to reply. Incidentally my tennis elbow cleared up very shortly after having an ultrasound guided steroid injection. I had suffered with it for about 2-3 months after trying resting, massaging, gentle movement but it was just getting worse. I'm now back to all the activities I was doing prior to the epicondylitis. And yes I did pay for the injection. I don't have a problem paying for services.
+Ross Brandli is it not called marketing? i find the videos en lighting, kudos to allen! i have gained from these videos without parting with my well earned green!!!
+sid allen Thanks. I'm glad to hear you found my videos valuable. The truth is, not everyone needs a full program or to pay for products or services to treat their Tennis Elbow. For some people with minor problems it can be enough just to realize what the problem is - and to stop doing the wrong things that either aggravate it or merely cover up the symptoms. I wish you well!

Please God! Thank you for writing this. It’s been 4 years.

Where is your clinic located . I really need help with this injury.
I'm going over to your site - I really hope it works. I've had this condition for three months now, I believe from a summer spent doing packing and lifting boxes, as well as packing art objects three days per week. I have not found the right therapy yet, and was so happy to see your video.
@TennisElbowClassroom What do you think about PRP injections?
What is your opinion of acupuncture for treatment of tennis elbow?
+Scott Ferrer I think Acupuncture may be helpful for symptomatic relief, but I wouldn't expect it to change any of the underlying causes: The muscle and tendon adhesions / restrictions / scar tissue. In my perspective, that stuff has to be released by hand.
Thank you very much. But maybe I missed this. What do you mean "released by hand". Do you mean massage therapy or something else?
Yes, that's what I mean. Thanks for clarifying.
Thanks, Jody. I hope you'll finally be out of pain soon. I sent you an email and I look forward to talking with you!

Does tennis elbow burn an pain
Rene Lozano Are you asking if the pain of Tennis Elbow is often a burning sensation? If that's right, then, yes.
+Rene Lozano There are many factors in relieving tennis elbow pain at home. One resource I found that succeeds in merging these is the Freds Elbow Helper (check it out on google) definately the most useful guide i've seen. Check out all the awesome info .
Does this apply to golfers elbow?
Yes, it applies to Golfer's Elbow, too!
if you want to know how to fix it you must buy his videos- thumbs down son
Matt. What do you do for a living? Why don't you do that for free? You charge for your service or products, I imagine, but attack others when they ask for exchange.
