Well known physical therapist Timothy Tyler has a quick and effective method for treating troublesome elbow pain. This is great news if you’ve been suffering from tennis elbow. Timothy has taken a time-tested method and made it rather simple and inexpensive for people to do. And the results are great! Here’s a summary of the research:
Addition of a Novel Eccentric Wrist Extensor Exercise to Standard Treatment for Chronic Lateral Epicondylitis: A Prospective Randomized Trial. Timothy F. Tyler PT, ATC (PRO Sports Physical Therapy, Scarsdale, NY) (Nicholas Institute of Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma, New York, NY) et al. Conclusions: All outcome measures for chronic lateral epicondylitis were markedly improved with the addition of an eccentric wrist extensor exercise to standard physical therapy. Given the consistently poor outcomes for patients in the Standard Treatment Group it was deemed appropriate to terminate the randomization with 21 patients having completed the study. This novel exercise, using an inexpensive rubber bar, provides a practical means of adding isolated eccentric training to the treatment of chronic lateral epicondylitis.
