rage, in answer to your question at the end of this post on the fourth,
"sorry, a little more with regards to the incresed MMTs after cervical mobilization (mckenzie chin tucks). they were changes from 3+/5 to 5/5 with shoulder flexion, triceps and wrist extensors.... that was wrist extensors/ flexion?? any ideas why this did not carry over to function"
Active movements are not mobs. Wether they be Mulligan ,Mckenzie or inspired by a mexican wave. Mobilisation , particularly the CM method , is far more specific. Mobs are able to turn off controlling tonicity and restore normal movement( to facet joints ) ,by doing so reduce localised neural irritations , ultimately eliminating them. Active movements may well have value under some circumstances, are valuable as part of a generally restorative program of exercise, but can't come near the immediate and lasting effects of facet joint mobilisation done with persistance and skill. Particularly when somatic referred pain and other neural misbehaviours are a feature.
I honestly cannot understand why those of you who persist in attempting to understand these kinds of referred pain problems as local , with all the frustration and concerns as are voiced here. One to three treatments and "tennis elbow" is gone, doesn't return ,as long as the relevant cervical problem has been adequately and appropriately adressed. There are bigger challenges around than LE, like global warming ,getting a good coffee or not burning the toast.
Have a really good look at the CM method Rage, would that I could just show it to you , have you stand over my shoulder buddy , but for now I'll have to make do with encouragements here.
Cheers

thanks Ginger i am up for any new treatments for tennis elbow. i do believe at least 50%(maybe closer to 75%) are cervical related. I have never had good luck with elbow treatments for this problem such as modalities.
