    Voodoo floss and tennis elbow



    I've been using voodoo floss to work on some of my tennis/golfer elbow. It's unpleasant to use and can feel like a tendonitis flare up for about 15-30 minutes after application. In the last few weeks I would guesstimate an overall 75% reduction in elbow pain for 24 hours after treatment, a 50% long term reduction, and no flare ups after grip work. So the most effective thing I've used outside of dry needling and acupuncture. Three rounds of wrist roller to get a good pump and a tight floss from the wrist up to push the out, has worked wonders.
    Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.

    Check out this blog and the recommended exercises: https://www.absolutept.com/shooters-elbow/

    I've battled it on and off for years, but haven't had any pain or flare ups since starting this routine.

    Gio nailed it. I have also battled pain for years, and in the three or so years since I started doing these exercises, specifically the two types of curls and especially the reverse curls, I have had zero elbow pain. This PT worked with Rob Leatham.

    Interesting concept. Thanks for posting. I have not had any serious elbow pain since using The Theraband Flexbar

    Here’s the thing about lateral epicondylitis: nothing works better than placebo including surgery and injections.

    Everyone gets it in a certain age group common on P-F. It is self limited,and lasts for a mean of about 18 months.

    If your placebo equivalent treatment works for you, by all means keep it up. Especially if it causes no harm. Don’t get surgery for it. Injections of steroid, while temporarily helping pain, usually only prolong the time before it goes away.

    I am laughing my head off because I absolutely did not read that article before I replied. That is an outstanding article and says everything better than I ever could. Required reading for this condition.

    Me too.

    I think it does a lot the same thing as the absolute pt exercises.

    I work the theraband 5x per week and it's great.

    I bought mine based on your recommendation in a post you made a long time ago. I also use it about 5 times per week and it has made a world of difference for me. Thank you.

    I’ve suffered from golfers elbow for over 10 years. There were days that even shooting 9mm was extremely painful and flinch inducing. I finally ran into a PT that showed me some stretches. They have completely changed me for the better. Elbow pain is very infrequent now and usually after high round count days with the 1911.

    I like the idea of adding some strength to the area. Going to try this out.
