Hi, I'm Jamie Dreyer and welcome to the Elbow Tendonitis Toolkit. Before we jump in, I'd like to share with you how I ended up creating this course.
You see, I'm not a medical professional. I've been a personal trainer for the past 26 years and several years ago, I got tendonitis in both forearms. It was bad, especially since I need to pick up weights for clients all day long.
Stretching felt better for a minute or two. Massage and/or acupuncture felt better longer but as soon as I picked up dumbbells, turned a doorknob, or carried a bag of groceries it hurt all over again.
Then a client of mine, who was a physical therapist, taught me two elbow tendonitis exercises with an odd little piece of equipment that changed everything. The pain went away and never came back!
Suddenly, it seemed like everybody was mentioning their elbow pain. I shared what I learned with clients, acquaintances at parties, and strangers in the park. The exercises are difficult to teach without the equipment so I made a Youtube video for people to watch after they got a Flexbar. To my surprise, the video was pretty popular and I received a lot of follow up questions…questions which led to more research and culminated with a book.
I then heard from numerous readers who wanted:
1) Detailed videos to demonstrate each exercise.
2) A way to directly ask me questions and receive answers.
3) To be updated regularly with the latest research and medical procedures.
So, now this course is available too!
You'll begin by learning exactly what these injuries are, what causes them, and how you can tell the two apart. We'll also cover the 3 other injuries most commonly mistaken for elbow tendinosis.
From there, you'll learn the super simple 3 step process that you can begin using immediately to start feeling better and I'll show you the best equipment to radically speed up your results..it's all pretty inexpensive.
In the FAQ section we'll cover all the most popular questions I've been asked hundreds, if not thousands of times.
Your Secret to Fast Results
Figure out the best time of day to consistently spend just 5 minutes performing the 3 Step Process and put it in your calendar. Consistency is key to a fast recovery!

Tennis and Golfer's elbow are very similar tendon injuries, just in different locations.
In this section where discuss the difference between the two and what causes them.
The next thing we should clear up is that what we are calling tendonitis is actually tendinosis.
The incorrect term was used for so long that people continue to use it so others know what they’re talking about, like me. But now that you are properly educated, I’ll use the correct terminology moving forward.
Trigger points are tight little bundles of muscle fibers that feel tender when you press them. They can occur when a muscle is contracted for long periods of time and get stuck in a shortened position, such as typing and using a mouse on a computer.
Here we'll discuss 4 different ways you can easily perform self-massage to release trigger points and begin the healing process.
After releasing the trigger points you'll want to gently stretch the muscle to release tension, allowing it to regain length and become more elastic. This, in turn, reduces the possible shock loads on the injured tendon. The more elasticity a muscle has, the better it can absorb dynamic forces so the tendon doesn’t have to. It can also increase circulation and muscle function.
The reason why you got this injury in the first place is that your tendon wasn’t strong enough to hold up against the stresses it was exposed to. Therefore, this is the most important step by far.
The key to eccentric contractions for healing a tendon is to create enough resistance through a full range of motion without shock loading at the beginning or end of the range of motion.
The Flexbar makes it easy because there is practically no shock load at the beginning of the exercise and because of how it uncoils there's literally zero shock load at the end. Plus, the resistance isn’t gravity-driven which means it can be more consistently applied through different angles of wrist extension.
There are three different massage tools I recommend using. I'll start with my favorite and go down from there.
Ideally, you’d be able to completely stop doing any activity that worsens your injury until it is healed. But perhaps the call of the tennis court is too strong to resist or there is no escaping these activities because, in order to make a living and feed yourself and your family, they must be done. In this situation, you need to double your efforts.
It’s also when I recommend wearing an arm brace for support.
Here we'll discuss the different types of supports and how to wear them.
I’ve received thousands of follow-up questions to my elbow tendonitis Youtube videos over the past decade and I’ve answered the most common ones for you here.
At this point you should have a much clearer picture about what kind of elbow injury you have and what activities may have caused it.
Hopefully you at least tested the self-massages, stretches and strengthening exercises to see how they felt as you went through each section.
Now let's ensure you put what you've learned into action.
If you want to deep dive into the research I reference in the course, it's all here.
There are 3 supplements the medical journals clearly prove to be effective at healing and preventing tendon injuries... and they're all inexpensive.
