Tennis Elbow Stretches

Tennis elbow is a very common problem.  Most often it can be treated with rest, activity modification and some simple exercises.

Check out the TotalTendon Tennis Elbow Stretching Protocol.



In future posts, I will demonstrate a strengthening protocol and discuss other treatment options.

TIger Woods Back Surgery Video (Example)

Tiger Woods will miss the Masters for the first time in 20 years because of back surgery for a herniated disc.  He had the surgery on Monday in Park City, Utah and will soon begin rehabilitation.  There is no time table for his return.

Below is a video of my own back surgery for a discectomy that was done via small portal incisions about 5.5 years ago.  I was miserable prior to the surgery and am amazingly better.  Many thanks to my excellent surgeons and physical therapists.  View the video below to gain a better understanding of the mechanics of the surgery.

I wish Tiger the best of luck in his recovery.  I hope his surgery will allow him to return to the golf course soon but more importantly at a much higher functional level for a long time.

It is important to note that a variety of biologic treatments for this condition are presently in development.  Hundreds of professionals worldwide are working on these solutions.  For more information, visit:  BiologicOrtho.com

Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic today will undergo back surgery to treat a herniated disc.  I underwent a similar procedure 3.5 years ago.  Below is a video of that procedure.
