  1. Hi Donny,

    First of you have my full sympathy as I know first hand about this debilitating injury.

    I have had both tennis elbow and golfers elbow. The first from bad kettlebell snatch lockouts five years ago; the second from over-doing neutral grip pull-ups fours years ago. I had tried everything from massive Ibuprofen to contrast baths, heat/ice etc with only marginal results.

    Since seeing a Level IV Z-Health practitioner three years ago for two sessions the problem is completely under control. Essentially before all training sessions and even on off days if there is any soreness(of course I realize there are not too many off days for you) I perform a several kinds of Z-Health elbow circles. This gets fluid into the joint, while gently increasing ROM.

    A great many folks use Z-Health as their primary injury pre-hab and re-hab and a much greater number think its new-age mumbo jumbo or just plain BS. I was of the later group but in desperation scheduled the visits. Do yourself a favor, and schedule high level Z-Health practitioner in you area.

    Best of luck!
