KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It’s something that affects a tendon and it impacts daily activities
• Tennis elbow tends to be on the outside and golfers the inside of the elbow
• It can be linked to who you are as a person and the environment you are in
• Having a conversation and understanding how the person feels is important and the first step
• You can be chasing a diagnosis but understanding the function of the person is vital so you know what they need to do and can do
• It’s not posture, it's technique and the repetition of a technique can cause the issue
• It’s about planning, taking a step back when you experience the symptoms and doing things in a different way
• If you are feeling something, listen to your body and give yourself a breather

BEST MOMENTS
