The August 25th edition of The New York Times, in its ongoing Well Blog, featured a story entitled " An Easy Fix for Tennis Elbow?" The article discussed the range of traditional treatments for "tennis elbow," but also a more recent focus on the success of eccentric exercise.
The August 27th Times featured valuable input and suggestions on the subject from Allen Eshmoili (PT,MPT,OCS,CSCS) of Reddy-Care:
" I have long touted the benefits of eccentric exercise to treat tendonitis and I am glad to see this study being done! Tim Tyler and the group at NISMAT did a great job with this study in creating an effective and creative way to treat Tennis Elbow. One thing people with chronic tennis elbow should do is get checked out by a physical therapist to see if there are any underlying causes to the tennis elbow, such as biomechanical faults in the shoulder or shoulder blade. At Reddy-Care Physical Therapy in Great Neck we do a biomechanical assessment to root out the actual cause of the problem, and not just treat the symptoms. This leads to lasting relief from pain and dysfunction, rather than just a temporary fix to the symptoms. By the way, you don't have to be a tennis player to get tennis elbow. I have treated many sedentary hairdressers, teachers and construction workers with tennis elbow as well."
