Thread: ART vs Acupuncture for Elbow Pain

Hey brothers ive been dealing with that dry rotted out feeling of tennis elbow. I was wondering if any of you have any info or recommendation of art massage over acupuncture.

I had a pretty nasty case of tennis elbow for 5 or 6 months. It got to the point where it hurt to pick up a cup to take a drink. I had to stop doing bicep curls, and started using straps on all pulling movements, but that combined with massage and Astym/Fascia Scraping weekly, mostly focusing on the upper forearm but also bi's and tri's, helped me get over it without having to quit lifting completely.

If you live in a state when marijuana is legal get some of the MaryJane SALVE and use that as the lubricant - It literally melts the adhesions away! And you can use something like the dull side of a butter knife or a spoon and work the areas where the blue X's are and around those areas.

Great info! Thanks for sharing

I work commercial masonry and the tendon in my L. Elbow gets killer. Mobic everyday when its flaring up badly, Ibuprofen as needed (over 600mg every 4 hrs is a waste and hard on liver), and the best one is a hippy herb call curamin. I would not believe how well it works unless I had tried it. Its amazing, just get standardized legit stuff.
This is what I use:
Curamin Extra Strength by Terry Naturally - Thrive Market

Pain free within an hour of taking 3 caps.

Great post. I have recently been dealing with some tennis elbow and wondering about treaments myself
