Elbow pain that just won’t quit?

This episode of Heel Without Harm breaks down exactly what’s going on with tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and that stubborn “mystery” elbow ache that seems to show up out of nowhere.

Dr. Clayton Dir, physical therapist, explains why rest, ice, and braces rarely fix the problem long term and why your shoulder, neck, and triceps might be the real culprits. You’ll learn what the “Goldilocks zone” of pain is, how to load your elbow safely with targeted strengthening, and why true healing often takes weeks to months—not days. If you or someone you love has elbow pain and wants to avoid unnecessary meds, injections, or surgery, this episode is for you.

From carrying your body weight to hanging from a bar, testing your VO2 tolerance, and getting off the floor without using your hands, you’ll discover how these abilities predict independence, resilience, and quality of life as you age. Most people are shocked by which test exposes their biggest weak spot—and what that says about their future health.
