John: am sorry to hear about your TE. The loss of strength is perfectly normal – and takes a while to come back.
With ART, a good practitioner should try various points and ( after massaging) ask you to move your arm around ( e.g door opening movement, tennis backhand movement). These movements should be less painful( in a very obvious way) – after the treatment.
For me, surprisingly, it Was on the flexor side ( the palm side) of my forearm. That typically affects golfer’s elbow – not TE – but somehow those muscles were super stiff – and ‘releasing ‘ them helped.

Magnesium oil – is another wondrous thing for relaxing stiff muscles. Worked better than any ointment I tried. Also – a topical Creme containing Glucosamine, Chronditin and MSM provides instant relief.

John Poole from Brisbane, Australia. Have suffered severe tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) for 4 months. Have played tennis for 50 yers (i’m 59) with never an elbow twinge until I lifted a heavy weight on Feb 7 this year and bingo – tennis elbow pain. No more tennis from that date – cannot grip anything, cannot shave without pain, cannot pick up jugs etc without severe pain. Have tried cortisone injection, 2 physiotherapists, 2 acupuncturists, sports masseur, eccentric weight program, flexbar exercises, oral nsaids, topical nsaid gels, penetrex – all with no relief. Am booked in for a PRP injection on Monday June 24 and hopefully that will start the healing process. However, if that fails, I’m interested in ART. There are practioners here in Brisbane so that may be my next call. Where on your elbow did he press that gave you instant relief? Is it easy to explain or are you aware of a link to a video that shows that particular pressure/trigger point?

Cheers, John
