Practical use
Use controlled pressure through the surrounding muscle tissue.
How it works
Back of arm & tennis elbow
This area benefits from controlled, precise contact. Work through the surrounding muscle rather than pressing directly onto sensitive joints or bone.

Recommended pressure type
T
Thumb
Best starting point for this zone.
The back of the arm and outer elbow need controlled, precise contact rather than broad pressure. A thumb point works well through this smaller muscle without pressing on sensitive joints.
Use safely
Begin with light pressure and increase gradually only while it remains comfortable. Stop if you feel sharp or increasing pain, numbness, tingling, dizziness, or unusual weakness.

Get Set Up
1
Rest your arm
Support your forearm on a table or your thigh.
2
Find the muscle
Work a thumb point into the back of your upper arm, near the outer elbow.
3
Avoid bony areas
Stay on soft tissue, away from the elbow point and sensitive inner elbow.
Work the Area
1
Build slowly
Increase pressure gradually rather than pressing hard right away.
2
Move through tightness
Pause on dense spots only while it stays comfortable.
3
Cover the full muscle
Shift along the muscle length rather than staying in one place.
