Tennis Elbow Self-Diagnostic Tests
This video lesson will take you through the basic tests you can do 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. Tennis Elbow is pretty straightforward, when it comes to diagnosing it.)

Why Is It So Challenging?
Why Are These Injuries So Difficult To Recover From?
Tendon injuries like Golfer’s Elbow and Tennis Elbow are notorious for not healing easily or well – But why is that the case?
Why are they often so stubborn and challenging to recover from? (This is the big picture view, which we’ll build on in later videos.)
The Muscular Causes
The Muscular Causes Of Tennis And Golfer’s Elbow Injuries
The central role that muscles play in causing Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow injuries and pain.
What’s the insidious process by which repetitive motions – whatever they are – Whether related to work, tennis, golf or gardening – end up injuring you?
Epicenter at the Epicondyle
Epicenter At The Epicondyle: The Essence Of The Injury
This video really gets to the heart of the matter: The nature of the injury to the tendons at the Epicondyle.
(I call it the ‘Epicenter’ because it’s the center of the Tennis Elbow Or Golfer’s Elbow injury and pain, and the area with the worst damage – Much like an earthquake.)
Treatment Strategy
Treatment Strategy – And Why It’s So Important To Have The Right One!
The REAL problem with Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow, Degeneration – Not inflammation, (Tendinosis not Tendonitis) calls for a completely different treatment strategy!
Here’s my approach compared to what I call the “S.I.C.k” approach.
I’m hoping to find some help with the hands-on muscle/ tendon therapy that we can do ourselves. Thanks. K
hi, I was very interested when I found your webpage, seeing as I’ve been struggling with tennis elbow’s in both arms for many years. I’m much better right now, but my main problem is that I’m have developed golfers elbow in both arms well…I was wondering if you thought it would be worth looking at your program for self treatment and exercises for golfers elbow as well. From what I’ve heard golfers elbow is somewhat more difficult to treat that lateral epicondylitis.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been suffering for years, Anette. (If it helps, you’re not alone. It’s not rare to have it that long, I’m afraid.) In my experience, Golfer’s Elbow has always been easier to treat than Tennis, though. I think it’s because the Wrist Flexor Muscles – and their tendons (Golfer’s E.) – are by nature more adaptable and “rugged” than the Extensor Muscle Group (Tennis E.)
I’m sorry. I really should have a Golfer’s E. program by now, but still haven’t gotten to it! Embarrassing. All I can do is suggest giving the Tennis E. program a try. You may be able to apply the principles to your Golfer’s Elbow.
thanks for replying! I’m currently reading your e-book on tennis elbow and educating myself on the causes, and then I’ll go purchase your package and use it myself as well as educating my massage therapist friend about the techniques 🙂 hopefully the golfer’s elbow will be nipped in the bud, it’s only been there for a couple of months and hopefully I’ll see the end of tennis elbow in the end also… Thanks for sharing of your knowledge. Love from Norway,Anette
I agree with you that external support for treatment of Tennis Elbow actually does not work. I have seen on myself and my wife. Keenly interested in your innovative e-books and videos for healing of Tennis Elbow and stop further deteriorating. Thanks
Hello, Mr. Willette,
Having a recurring tennis elbow that has MOSTLY healed, yet still sometimes flares up, I recently acquired what i feel is a pretty rough case of distal bicep tendonitis, or tendonosis. I am not a fan of traditional western medicine/therapy, and found your approach very refreshing, and trust it will be effective. My question is whether or not you have something that would help me avoid the Distal Bicep Triple Trap?? I hope you do… 🙂
Glad to hear your elbow is mostly healed, Lou! I do have a technique for the Biceps (which I will make a video on for members at some point) In the meantime, you could book a Skype consult with me (if you have Skype and a webcam) and I could teach it to you that way.
I stumbled upon your website today. I am learning a lot today, including the fact that the 3 cortisone injections that I had, was actually not a great help at all. It feels like my whole arm (fore-arm) esp has been affected and feels swollen.
Dear Mr. Willette:
Good day to you. I have had some sort of elbow tendonitis or tendonosis for over a year now, almost two. None of the professionals I have seen haven given me a clear diagnosis. My symptoms are akin to tennis elbow in that gripping and pulling often causes pain but not on the lateral epicondyle, where I have no pain. The chronic pain I feel is typically at the radial head in the elbow crease which makes me suspect it is a distal biceps tear. So, my question is how do I figure out what type of tendonitis I have and which route to fix it? Your program is appealing, but I want to make sure I address the right problem. I guess you’re not in Vermont anymore? Still in Corte Madera? Love to hear from you. Thanks for the free tutorials.
Hi CH, You’re welcome. (For the Tutorials) Yes, I’m still in Corte Madera.
I’m sorry, I’m not able to diagnose what you have, but some other possibilities in that area are issues with the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus rather than the Brevis, the Brachioradialis and the Radial Nerve (which sometimes get entrapped in that area)
At this point, (1-2 years?) it sounds like you need some help (in person) from someone who knows how to assess tissues and muscle functions by hand.
After suffering from tennis elbow for years, I am very interested in trying your methods. What I have seen so far, they seem logical and not too difficult or time consuming.
I have a shoulder injury and wondered if I am more susceptible to tennis elbow?
Yes. In my experience, people with shoulder injuries very often develop Golfer’s and/or Tennis Elbow. It’s usually a compensatory pattern related to the injured or weakened shoulder muscles – Especially of the Rotator Cuff.
I read you don’t suggest wearing a band unless one might need some extra protection in a sport.
What about walking? I walk about 45 minutes a day and my arm/elbow can be very sore at the end.
Hi Jessica, I have to vote no on wearing anything like a band or brace while walking. I would only recommend them while playing high-intensity sports or performing a physically demanding task for a short duration, like lifting heavy things.
If the arm/elbow that gets sore from walking is the one where you have your shoulder injury (as mentioned in your other question) then I would suspect it may be more of a sign of compensation OR referred pain from that shoulder, by the way. Are you getting any treatment for it?
Hi Mr. Willette.
I have been diagnosed with mild tennis elbow.
I love doing pull ups and would not like to stop doing them.
I stopped doing pull ups for 3 months, however my elbow pain still remains the same.
Recently I restarted doing pull ups and the good news (I guess) is that I don’t feel any pain at all while doing the exercise. Pain comes some hours after the exercise.
Is it ok to do pull ups considering that I don’t feel any pain while doing them ?
Thank you for your great videos !
Glad to hear you like my videos, Rodrigo! I hope you got my email with the link and that the article answered your question…
For anyone wondering the same thing or something similar, please see my article and video LINK: Exercises To Avoid When You Have Tennis Elbow where I do talk about Pull Ups and why I don’t recommend doing them.
Hi Allen, thank you for having this very informative site. I believe I have “tennis elbow”. It actually started about 8 months ago while practicing yoga, I am a young dentist, and what I mean by that is that I recently graduated from dental school and I find myself very worried about not being able to practice since it is my dominant arm which happens to be affected. I have gone through the whole rest, ice, pain meds, as wells as a cortisone shot which made my arm sore and numb for a good couple of days. Although, the cortisone shot seemed to have help for a little while, I had a flare up this weekend. I am very interested in starting your program, Like you mentioned the treatment that I have gotten so far has been just masking my symptoms and I dont know if I am going to be able to cure this “dentist elbow” of mine. My questions to you are: should I wear a brace while I work? should I avoid doing certain dental procedures? should I go to a message therapist? Can I start your program even if I am in pain now?
I appreciate your time, look forward to hearing from you,
Thank you,
Your future “dentist elbow” patient.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and considering my self-help program, Diana.
I would definitely not wear a brace while performing any kind of sustained, repetitive, low-intensity work – whether that takes the form of performing dental procedures or anything else (hobbies, other kinds of work, etc.)
I’ve personally seen a number of Dentists in my practice and have consulted with a couple of you who have done my program. All have recovered. Yes, your work is stressful in the repetitive sense, but at least you don’t have the impact stresses that are a factor with sports-injury Tennis Elbow.
If you can avoid some of the most tedious and time-consuming procedures until you’ve made some progress toward recovery that would definitely be idea. (I’m under the impression that root canals are especially hard – that is if you do your own Endodontics.)
You can start my program at any time – even if you are in a lot of pain (Many Tennis Elbow sufferers are when they begin the program.) But if you can also see a Massage or Neuromuscular Therapist, like myself – that’s the best of both worlds – Professional help and self help!
One of the hardest parts for a lot of people with Tennis Elbow is the time lag it can take to start turning it around – especially if (without knowing any better; based on the “common wisdom”) you’ve been going down the “symptom masking / suppressing” road (Cortisone shots being the worst example of that, unfortunately) – but hang in there. Tendons can and do heal with the right encouragement!
I am not sure If I have tennis elbow. My pain predominately manifests on the topside of my forearm, radiates down to my hand, and sends sharp pains in between my thumb and index finger. I also have pain on the medial side of the arm but located closer to the elbow. During the early stages of my injury, i had tightness and pain in my upper spine/lower neck area (this has gone away though). I have tried traditional recommendations (i.e. physical therapy, strengthening triceps, lat pull-downs, tendon manipulation) but still haven’t reached full recovery and am still hesitant to resume heavy lifting. I have had these symptoms going on two years now.
Do these symptoms sound like tennis elbow? Or could it be something nerve related? Possibly Radial Tunnel Syndrome?
Thanks,
Sean
Sean, what you’re describing could relate to your Radial Nerve and Radial Tunnel Nerve Entrapment – especially if there’s any numbness or tingling involved, (there might also be an issue with your Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis or Longus muscles with symptoms at the wrist en rather than the elbow / epicondyle end. Their tendons insert at the back side of the wrist in the area you’re describing between thumb and index finger) but I can’t really say anything beyond that.
Allen,
I have been in much pain in both elbows for a few months now. I am a carpenter and do much heavy lifting everyday. Also having a hammer, nail gun or some sort of power tool in my hand at all times throughout the day. I’m positive this is the cause of my pain and I’m glad to find your teaching and therapy as I pray they will help.
Most days my elbows will hurt when a grab something a certain way (which I am more careful now) but I experience the most pain when I’m at home…doing absolutely nothing. I even wake up multiple times at night in severe pain, many times trying to sleep with my arms stretched out avoiding the pain.
Does this happen to many people? Not to say this should be normal for people with tennis elbow but do people with tennis elbow experience much pain when doing nothing or when simply stretching their arm out straight?
Thanks for all your help and willingness to see people healed. many blessings to you Allen.
-Sean
Hi Sean, Yes, Tennis (and Golfer’s) Elbow is notorious for waking people up at night and often hurting the worst first thing in the morning.
(Everyone has their muscles and other tissues stiffen up at night, which is normal, since we’re inactive, physically – but that normal stiffening process is something we feel very acutely when we have a tendon problem. I don’t believe it matters much what positions we sleep in, though, if you’re wondering about that.)
I am, however, a big fan of putting heat to the area first thing in the AM – Especially with a hot shower – Even putting the elbow area under the hottest water one can stand repeatedly, and rubbing the area vigorously in between bursts of hot water.
And, yes, a significant percentage of Tennis Elbow sufferers have a lot of discomfort when simply straightening their elbows.
my pain is intermittent after 2years.. is it ok to start light weight trainng and monitor progress
I would go ahead with light weight training if I were you.
This course has been really informative and helpful so far. I’ve had tennis elbow now for 5-6 years and have done all the wrong things. Braces, anti-inflammatory pills, PT, icing, lots of stretches and exercising. Some things have relieved the pain temporarily, but it always comes back. I have a question about inflammation ~ you mentioned that it’s the first step in the healing process. Since I have had TE for so long, do I still need inflammation to help it heal? Thank you for these lessons!
Thank you, Karen! I’m delighted to hear this course has been helpful to you!
The thing is that, in most cases, the pain of Tennis (or Golfer’s) Elbow isn’t caused by inflammation, as the body tries to heal the tendons.
The pain seems to be caused by the degenerative process as the tendon breaks down and fails to heal, which produces noxious, nerve-irritating chemicals (or the pain is from tension and other warning signs before damage starts to happen.)
You may still need to go through an inflammatory healing process if you’ve been suppressing it. That doesn’t mean it’s going to get all red and swollen, though.
The important thing is to do what encourages healing and not to be afraid of a little inflammation in the process! – Hope that helps.
Thanks, that is helpful. I have been applying some heat to the area. Should I heat both the muscle and tendon area? Also, I was wondering what you think of trigger point therapy. A friend recommended I purchase The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, by Davies, which I did purchase.
I think it’s more important to heat the tendon area, since it’s the tendon that has less innate circulation, but you can use it on the muscle, too!
I don’t really like the Trigger Point approach, actually. As a Bodyworker, I come across trigger points all the time, when working on my patients, but I don’t focus on them or see them as primary. I regard them as secondary symptoms that in turn cause other symptoms, like pain…
(At the risk of sounding self-serving, have you considered joining as a member here and following my self-help program? I think you’ll get a lot more out of my muscle and tendon therapy techniques than you will out of seeking out trigger points – and I have the guarantee, of course 😉
Thanks for your input about heating the tendon area and about trigger point therapy.
I am definitely considering joining as a member. I’ve been watching your videos, reading the articles, and so maybe it is time to stop collecting info and just jump into the treatment. I’m really ready for some true healing for my tennis elbow.
You are not self-serving at all ~ you have provided much info free of charge and shouldn’t be expected to give away the treatment strategies for free.
Thanks again!
Hey Dear Allen,
I thank you very very much for all the work you do for Tennis and golf elbow sufferers, that really means a lot to us, I’m sorry if I bothered you, but I really need your help, I have been dealing with tennis elbow for about 6 months (I’m a bodybuilder competitor), on Tuesday 30 May 2017 I had an appointment with my doc to have a PRP injection but He made a big mistake and he injected cortisone (1 shot) instead of my blood (plasma), I am very sad and really worried now because I have already known the negative sides of cortisole shots, can you tell me if one shot of cortisole will make damage to my tendon and weaken it?
I am definitely considering joining as a member here and following your self-help program, when can I start it and how much time should wait till I start your program, especially that I had a cortisone shot on 30th May 2017.
i’m looking forward to hearing from you Allen,
best regards
“Does ‘one’ injection of cortisol weaken the tendon or have negative effects on the tendon in the future?”
From my impression and experience, all Cortisone has a negative effect, but multiple injections seem to be exponentially worse, so it’s a good thing you only had one. (Still, what an incredibly bad blunder of that Orthopedist to give you a Cortisone shot instead of a PRP injection!)
“How much time should I wait till I start your self therapy?”
When I see someone in my office I like to wait at least 2 weeks, but then I’m going to spend at least a half hour intensely working the area. I would suggest that you could probably begin now. And when you begin, just start slowly.
Work the muscles more than the tendons at first, and gradually increase the therapy on your tendons over time, after seeing how it responds. (And I will be there in the forum if you need a little help!) Thanks for your interest in my program!
Hello Allen,
I would first like to thank you for this page and all you offer free of charge. Your knowledge and expertise is self evident. I have recently exhausted the internet due to my medial epicondyle tendonosis aka Golfers Elbow and learned many things. You are the first person to seem to understand the true issue (NOT Inflammation) and not recommend the Scam treatment in my opinion as well of RICE. In fact after showing my ultrasound result (common flexor tendonosis with associated mild interstitial delimitation and small calcifications) to 2 Ortho PA friends they both said the same thing, “These are annoying injuries, take a long time to heal, rest, ice, cortisone may help”. Mind you I already had 2 cortisone shots UNFORTUNATELY and glad I had a gut feeling that a 3rd was a bad idea. Ive also had 2 PRP injections 4 months after the last cortisone shot a week apart a month ago. I am a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, (used to lift weights and strength train) life long athlete, drummer, and for many years a waiter. I’ve had surgery on both the wrist and shoulder of the affected elbow which I’m sure didn’t help my cause. I am currently finishing up vacation and upon returning home plan on the Diamond package (need a different credit card) My question is this all still active? Will I get the video consult? Also, is there truly hope? Sometimes just hearing a similar story or success case is all that is needed to help shift the mental frustration I’m dealing with. I am an instructor in both jiu jitsu and drumming and currently am unable to do both 🙁 I have decided to try your program for at least the 90 days and hope for results. Earlier in my vacation my plan was to try the TENEX procedure but I decided to give you program a try before any more procedures or “REAL” doctors. Again thank you, you really seem to know whats up. I first developed a small manageable pain last March while waitering due to overloading my one arm as a result of a wrist injury to my other arm lol. That has now progressed severely as I did just about everything you mention not to do including thinking it would just go away, “train through it” cortisone RICE etc. I really hope your program is the turning point I need to get my life back in order. I have a big network in the martial arts and music world and will praise you accordingly if it does. Thanks again!
You’re very welcome, Matt! (I always love to hear that the information I put out for everybody is helpful!)
So you were wondering: “Is this all still active? Will I get the video consult? Also, is there truly hope?”
Not sure what you mean by “still active” (Have there been problems with the site I wasn’t aware of?) Sure you’ll get the video consult if you purchase the Diamond package!
Is there hope? I would say there’s always hope. As long as we’re alive our bodies are trying to heal. Tendons can and do heal…
(although if there is a major tear or severe degeneration in a tendon it may be extremely difficult to heal without surgery – and some things, like torn cartilage, never heal – but that is not an issue with Tennis Elbow and major tears and severe degeneration are rare.
Honestly, though, you can only get as much out of the program as you put in. I give you the tools, but you have to apply them – consistently – it’s not a quick fix or miracle cure – although some people do get results quickly. You just can’t know in advance.
Dear Allen,
Your website is a hope for me actually, because when i watched your introduction video and your efforts i realized that it really looks like my history. But i finally tried a leech not bees :)) i stopped my work – i was a programmer- i have a child now but i could not bring up her because of my elbow problems. I want to start your program but i have a question;
I have both tennis and golfers elbow in my both arms. That means i have 4 problem points in tendons. I m 28, and the problems were with me for 4 years. And i learned a couple of months ago that i have hypermobility , too. So my question is,
Can i do your all exercises in your tennis and golfers elbow package despite i have hypermobility and both tennis and golfers elbow in my one elbow? Or certain exercises could give some damage to me?
I really thank you a lot…
I m looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
I’m so sorry to hear you have both Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow in BOTH arms. That sounds like a miserable situation.
I would say that some of the techniques would be appropriate for you, considering your hypermobility and some might not be. If you join, reach out to me in the forum and I will suggest which ones you may want to avoid.
If a sonogram is the best way to diagnose but is not used often how will my doctor be able to interpret the data .
The problem is getting your Doctor to authorize one in the first place. (Here in the States, anyway.) It’s a specialized skill – and not something that general practitioners usually perform. A clinician / tech who is skilled in performing a Sonogram will also be skilled in interpreting it.
Orthopedic Surgeons often use it when doing certain injections and surgical procedures but you’re not going to have access to an Orthopedist unless your injury is severe or very chronic.
(Not sure why you’re posting your question here on this page.) My article on Sonograms for Tennis Elbow is found here
Dear Allen,
I’ve had tennis elbow for about 5 months (right elbow, dominant arm) and you’re only the second person I’ve come across to affirm tendonosis. It’s not a sharpish pain, doesn’t bother me in the night or early morning, but it’s a fascinating problem and I am learning to adjust my lifting techniques. I can lift 50 lb with one arm using my flexor(?) muscles (palm facing up) with no pain, but I can’t lift 10 lb if my palm is facing down. Like you said, the degenerative condition is gradual, and I think I first noticed the problem years ago but have only recently woken up to it. And I was wondering, why the heck is this pain so enduring? Aren’t soft-tissue injuries suppose to heal given time and rest? And then I finally found your site.
Your response to this debilitating condition is the most clear and objective I have seen. Not to mention comprehensive. The amount of content here is mind blowing. And so is your passion for helping people recover from this. Excellent! Although I have to say that my heart sank a bit after learning that tendon recovery is no guarantee. But I don’t need to make it worse. At least, now armed with your insights, I don’t think I need to look elsewhere. Thanks so much!
You’re welcome, Rob!! Thank you so much for your appreciation. It means a lot to me.
Hello Allen,
Thank you for this lot of experienced information that you provide freely here. I find it very helpful to understand my injuries, which I was failing to really understand before I came across your videos and website. Unfortunately, I have tennis elbow on both arms, and even maybe golfer’s elbow on the left arm (difficult for me to do correctly the assessment tests you describe for this latest due to pain on the other side). My symptoms are recent, just began a few weeks ago, but I believe that the degenerative state is a lot more ancient. So maybe healing will be complicated for me nonetheless unfortunately…
Having just finished watching your 101 videos, I’m pondering to buy your self-healing protocol package, but as both my arms are injured, I wonder how I can be proactive with one injured arm to try to help the other, without harming more the active arm, and the same when treating the other injured arm next? I fear that I’ll strain more an injured arm while I massage the other. Would you mind to give me your opinion on that, do I risk hurting my arms more if I energetically massage one arm then the other?
Regards
Hi Éric,
Are you saying that you had trouble simply doing the self-assessments tests?
If that’s the case, it sounds like you are in an extremely weakened state. That doesn’t bode very well for doing my self-treatment program.
You need to have some ability to grip and press – OR you need to have someone – a friend, spouse or roommate – who can follow along with the program and work on you.
Have you been able to find anyone in your area, a Bodyworker like me, who you can see regularly for treatment?
That would be ideal – at least to get you on the road to recovery. (I know this is too expensive for some people, so if that’s not a good option for you, what else are you going to do besides work on yourself in whatever capacity you can at home?)
People who have injuries in both arms are often able to recover with this program and you have 90 days to give it a try and then get a refund if you’re not happy with the program or able to make any progress with it.
It often comes down to making a commitment and giving it a go. A lot of people get results but it isn’t possible for me (or anyone else) to predict who will get results and who won’t.
There are clearly some extremely difficult cases, significant tears (if an MRI shows them) or advanced, severe degeneration can be very challenging to recover from but you still won’t know until you try.
By the way, if your symptoms are recent that’s a good sign in your favor.
Allen
Hi Allen,
Thank you for your kind and committed reply. Indeed, I couldn’t do some of the assessment tests mainly because of too much stiffness, especially in the left arm. Lasting pains flare up simply by trying to put my arms straight.
Still, I’m getting a bit of relief now and it seems very likely it has to do with your advices I tried to follow. I ceased wearing bracers, tried to use and move my arms more, let them loose as much as I can, and began trying to knead them often. I find I can put a fair amount of pressure without waking up pain, so I think it should be ok to try your massaging techniques, and my girlfriend would help if needed. As for bodyworkers, there are only a few physiotherapists in my area and their approach didn’t give much results when I had an aching shoulder with rotator cuff’s tendinosis 2 years ago.
That’s from this experience that I learnt some things about aching tendons, and how disappointing the classical approach can be. So I avoided taking anti-inflammatories this time, and understood quickly how chronic the problem could become, and that’s why I’m here only 5 weeks after developing tennis elbow in my left arm.
Well, I’ve subscribed to your program and will do my best in applying it. Thanks again for the help you provide here!
Éric
Thank you for joining, Éric! I’m relieved to hear your girlfriend is open to helping work on you. Take it slow and reach out to me in the private members forum (rather than here in the public comments) if you need a little help from me.
Your videos are WAY too long. Can’t you just get to the point?! You have such a long build up and usually a meager pay-off of obvious information. It seems like your entire collection of videos could be reduced to about 15-20 minutes, but then you wouldn’t have people wondering “Well maybe the ‘good information’ will be in the next video.”
I have been struggling with tennis elbow for over 12 mths, tried everything and nothing has worked…..I’m hopeful this will work
I hope so, too, Brock!
had an MRI requested by my Ortho Surgeon with the suspicion that I have a ruptured elbow tendon. It is very painful as you know
Very very interested video thank you very much for you advice
And I like the way you do exsplain you video.👍👍
I believe I have tennis elbow which periodically acts up when I play golf too frequently.
