The tricep connects to the elbow and then to the wrist keeping the tricep massaged and loose is also a good idea.

I like the idea of that handle. I will throw out an idea:

Why not design a handle that incorporates a pole butt cover that can be fitted to the bottom of the pole so it takes the weight of the pole and can be secured tightly enough to the pole wall to prevent slipping without crushing or damaging the pole wall that it is secured to.

I 3d printed the handle so if you'd like to draw what you're looking for and email it to me I'll run one up. Always keen for better ideas so I'll try it.

Send it to me at the email below and I'll rattle one off.

When I had this problem I thought about a handle like the one of the Gardiner for their longer poles,if you use a handle which means you are changing the angle all you do is move the tension onto another muscle or joint on the upper body.
The key I found was to keep the upper body’s muscles loose through massage,Thai massage is good for an hour skip the first 50 minutes though 😂🤣🤣🤣

In all seriousness it's not a muscle taking the strain. It's the tendons where they all join.

The tendons are joined by muscle that’s what holds it all together

[Simon Trapani]

I don’t know exactly but the physio said to me that the pain of tennis elbow, which i have, is where all the tendons join on the one spot. The change in technique is working for me

If a pole handle is fitted to a pole one  problem is that if it isn't tight enough it will slip, (which using at height could be dangerous), secondly over tightening the clamp on the pole will eventually damage the pole on our normal, thin walled domestic poles which are at best 2-3mm thickness.

The answer would be to have a pole handle which incorporates a butt ring as part of the handle so that it can be fitted over the base of the pole.  Fitting it over the base of the pole, the handle would be fully supporting the entire weight of the pole so the purpose of the clamp handle would only need to be tight enough to prevent the pole handle from slipping around the pole circumference and not needing to support the weight of the pole as well on the clamp itself.

It’s tight tendons if you think it’s muscle you are wrong and will never target the area that’s effected,you need an experienced practitioner some of them haven’t got a clue how to get rid of it they just say hot and cold which is only a fraction of the cure for it.

[H MAN]

Did this about 8 years ago
Here we have made it so the attachment can now swivel around the pole and move up/down while using your pole.
Gives great power transfer while have complete control of the of your pole

I said tendons. That’s  what my physio said. I like to think he knows his job as I do mine.

IMO you need EVERYTHING to keep yourself in good shape for this job if you plan on doing it for a long time to come...

1.xtreme poles and brushes
2.electric fixed reel
3.some form of resistance/strength training a few times a week
4.stretching and exercises for your hands/arms
5.short working days(5 or 6 hours a day)
6.keep add on jobs and high level work over 30ft to a minimum

Had tennis elbow years ago. Started taking cod liver oil with glucosamine for a couple of months. Never ever had it back since. Hope that helps.

Joint vitamins it’s a tendon strain.

Well yesterday I went to the doctors and had the injection in my elbow, after a few hours I was still getting a bit of pain but today (Thursday) absolutely no pain what-so-ever.

The good news is that tomorrow I'm off on holiday for 1 week so I will really be able to rest it and hopefully now pain free when I return to work.

[NWH]

In some cases that does the trick and it goes for good but not always,just pray it doesn’t come back the injections can cause a build up of crystals then surgery is the solution and you don’t really want that they move the ulnar nerve as its rubbing on bone causing the pain and inflammation.

Tennis elbow can be painful, golfers elbow is even worse

[Bungle]

I had tennis elbow about 18 months ago. It was that bad that I had to use two hands to put my van in reverse gear, it's got one of those sliders on the gear stick. I managed to get a cortisone injection and so far it's been fine since.

[NWH]

Yeah I had golfers on the inside of the elbow and it’s harder to deal with you can’t put your arm anywhere without setting it off,once it flares up if you don’t treat it with stretching it’ll get worse.

Good morning All.  Interesting to  watch,  proper pole grip may help us with elbow pain.
