43 year old fit healthy man. Played rugby for 20 years. Had left shoulder joint dislocation 15 yearsago along with dislocation of the acromio-clavicular joint on the right side. Had neck injury in car 8 months ago and pain and tenniselbow ever since . Put in a collar . 2 physiotherapists had each 5 sessions with him to no avail. Consultant injected him –no effect

My findings—surprise , surprise!!-massive contracture of trapezius and C7 seizure The tennis elbow disappeared after the first session and two sessions removed all the contracture and fully mobilised the joint. 

The cobra and plough posture and side bends have been given to the person to perform daily.  They are not able/willing to attend a class and this has resulted in no further visits for over 2 years.
