I received this note today from a member of the
Qi Gong Inner Circle.
Dr. Wu Dhi Can you recommend any specific exercise
for tennis elbow?
I just recent developed this condition and my Doc just
wants to add more pills to my diet.
I just received your latest inner circle DVD’s.
I will be reviewing them this week.
The best investment I ever made was joining your
inner circle.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
Your student,

My Friend
I see at least one or two patients a week with this problem,
Florida has great tennis all year long and that means tennis
elbow or in medical terms, lateral epicondylitis.
It’s characterized by pain and stiffness in the extensor muscles
of the forearm.
There may also be pain at the elbow on extension of the wrist
and on gripping an object.
It’s usually treated with acupuncture or acupressure and
heat in my office to get rid of the cold and dampness in
the joint, acupuncture is a big help for this condition.
I use a few powerful points that you can also massage or
add heat, like moxibustion.
Both local and distal points are selected from the yang channels
supplementing the meridians to eliminate wind, cold and dampness.
I also have had a lot of luck using the influential point for muscle
and tendons gall bladder 34. it seem to work well and
patients get great lasting results.
Some a deep tissue massage and a manipulation may be useful as well.
In Chinese medicine tennis elbow is considered as “BI pain”
and is usually caused from wind, cold and damp if the pain
is from coldness I’ll also use moxibustion or a heat lamp
and use a good bone or hit medicine externally and
you will heal quicker than a you could imagine.
The reason I use the large intestine points is it governs fluid
in the body that comes from the small intestine.
Both of these channels cross at the elbow and travel up and
down the arm.
If there is a blockage from trauma, cold or dampness these
points free up the blocked Qi.
Listen up, this is the important part!
Work on I-chin techniques (tendon-changing).
This is to soften and relax all the muscle groups,
tendons, ligaments and nerve fibers in the body to increase
healing, speed and the reaction and performance needed.
Also Hsi-sui (marrow washing) to clean and regulate the bone
and marrow,
This will increase the size and density of the bone.
As Master Chia points out, you want to have the bone like steel
wrapped in cotton.
This will heal you quicker than any pill you could ever take and
will strengthen your tendons so you will avoid injury in the future.
I talked about this in one of the Qi Gong Inner Circle DVD’s
www.Qigonginnercircle.com
Hear is another Qi Gong healing method that I use that works great
for tennis elbow, stiff joints, sore arms and other related problems
that I learned from Donna Eden, she ‘s
the author of “Energy Medicine” and you can start with it right away.
Follow the channel of the large intestine, small intestine and the
heart start by doing tiny pinches up and down the arm.
This will reset the spindle cell at the belly of each muscle.
The lighter the pinch the better.
Take a Look at the Recharging Qi Gong Program where I teach the
bone breathing that will really help and pay special attention to the
wrist twist exercise, forearm rotation and the three part finger
recharging and that will do the trick.
For those of you who don’t have the Recharging Qigong Program
yet don’t delay another minute go to
www.Rechargingqigong.com and get started today.
I wish you the Best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness
Dr. Wu Dhi
