Tennis Elbow Self-Diagnostic Tests – Assess And Diagnose Yourself

Do you have Tennis Elbow? Take these tests if you’re not 100% sure. This video will take you through the basic tests you can do yourself to determine whether your symptoms are consistent with Tennis Elbow or not. (This does not necessarily replace a visit to a Doctor – but these tests are basically the same as what you would get in a Doctors’ office.)

Outline Of The Major Video Sections

You can skip to any section of the video in this outline list below – Just hover over the timeline / progress bar on the bottom of the video with your cursor (if you’re on a computer) find the time you want and then click on that spot. You will jump to that time in the video.

  • What is Tennis Elbow? – (1:05 min. in video)
  • What are the symptoms of Tennis Elbow? – (2:30 min. in video)
  • First Test: Resisted Wrist Extension – (4:20 min. in video)
  • Second Test: / Variation Of The First – (5:48 min. in video)
  • Third Test: Combo – Resisted Wrist AND Elbow Extension – (6:20 min. in video)
  • Fourth Test: Muscle And Tendon Pressure Test – (8:10 min. in video)
  • Fifth Test: Second Press Test – (11:40 min. in video)

These tests are pretty accurate, at least in a general sense, and are basically the same as what you would get if you saw a Doctor.

This may come as a surprise, but Tennis Elbow is often initially diagnosed using these simple methods – and little or nothing else, (other than your own description of the symptoms you’re experiencing, of course.)

You’re not likely to get an MRI or a Sonogram, right away, (unless you’ve had some kind of traumatic accident – But that isn’t how Tennis Elbow normally happens.)

You may get a scan eventually, if you don’t improve but that’s typically only A LOT later on, as in 6 months to a year later.

I hope you’re finding this site and this video on the early side, though, and you haven’t already been suffering that long, (or longer!)
