Wrist Mobilization Technique For Tennis Elbow

January 20, 2019 By Allen Willette, Neuromuscular Therapist 2 Comments

Doctor of Chiropractic, Alan Mandell, demonstrates a simple technique that anyone can use for mobilizing and self correcting wrist joint fixations (which may help with Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow)

youtube.comVideo: Self-Correcting Tennis Elbow (What Most Doctors Don’t Know) – Doctor Alan Mandell demonstrates a simple wrist mobilization method

Watch Dr Mandell’s video at YouTube.com

Dr. Mandell demonstrates the functions of the wrist flexors and extensors and explains part of the dynamic of how cumulative stresses cause Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow injuries.

See this video for a closer, more detailed look at the anatomy involved.

He then explains how the insertions of the wrist extensors muscles (‘Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis and Longus’) act on the wrist, and discusses how the ‘Scaphoid’ and ‘Lunate’ carpal bones – and the joints between those bones – tend to get fixated or “jammed.”

Dr. Mandell then demonstrates a very simple technique that anyone can use for mobilizing and self correcting those carpal joint fixations.

(He claims this can provide relief from Tennis Elbow.)

Although, Dr. Mandell is the Chiropractor and the expert on fixated joints and how to mobilize them, I would not expect to see any lasting relief from this technique by itself.

In my practice, which is more “soft tissue manipulation focused,” I DO detect exactly the kind of fixations in the carpal joints of my clients that he’s discussing here…

But I can’t see how these issues can be truly resolved without a lot of soft tissue release of the adhesions in the Wrist Flexors and Extensors involved to normalize them and correct the abnormal patterns of tension that are “locking up” those carpal joints.

Nevertheless, I think this technique could very well be a good addition to an overall, comprehensive Tennis / Golfer’s Elbow treatment plan.

    Just watched one of your videos about tennis elbow, where you suggest using an ice pack to reduce inflammation. I now see another video on Heat v Ice, and you say never to use ice!! A bit confused with this!

      The reason is that this video on this page is not mine. I included it here because I thought the wrist mobilization method had value. I don’t agree with icing to “reduce or manage” inflammation.
