    Life Change 180

    Life Change 180

    I have a whole regime for PF that works well...PF is slow to resolve, though. House shoes such as Birkenstocks at ALL TIMES from the minute you wake up and throw you legs to the side of the bed, taping, icing, friction massage, acupuncture, stretching, and orthotics :) Works every time!

    Life Change 180

    Nope, never said it was "the cure" for tennis elbow. Simply stated it has made a huge difference w/mine. I was on the verge of having to quit tennis altogether, so I am thrilled. And I'm an acupuncturist, so I am very familiar w/placebo effect accusations. I can assure this this is not that...

    Life Change 180

    The whole point of this is it is extremely reasonable! I have no financial attachments to this "Program." I am just very happy with the results I am getting. And I felt like sharing that. Is that a crime?

    Do you have Diabetes in your family? I do. It's easy enough for me to skip certain fruits in order to escape the fate of "inheriting" Type II Diabetes. Why are you so negative about something that is so beneficial to someone? If you don't need it, ignore!

    Diablo, another word for tennis elbow is epicondylitis, no? The suffix "itis" means inflammation. Tendinitis goes into tendinosis when it is not healed at the "itis" level. tendinitis The suffix "itis" means inflammation. The term tendinitis should be reserved for tendon injuries that...

    Life Change 180

    Hi Everybody I've been posting down in the racket forum trying to find "my" racket. I was a tennis elbow sufferer. I went on this "program" called Life Change 180 and I literally stopped having pain within 5 days of being on it! My tennis knee too! I want to outline it here for people...

    Thank you all so much! I actually don't think I need head size larger than 100." I am aware of the crucial nature of the stringing. Thanks for the e-mail addy, Steve.

    My Racket Fiasco/Help!

    Hey bee Thank you so much. Regarding strings, I had read the natural gut are by far the best on tennis elbow. And I know they cost more. I had one person say, "Oh you don't want to do that...Way too expensive. You will be replacing strings all the time." Then I heard that synthetic gut...

    My Racket Fiasco/Help!

    This is exactly what I plan on doing! Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to organize myself to demo 4 more. Thanks so much for your insights. You are spot on. I am NOT so much a swiper. I don't spin the ball a lot. I will definitely try something with the tighter string pattern in...

    My Racket Fiasco/Help!

    Yes. I also realized that my grip was a bit too small. I have researched this from every angle. The anti-inflammation diet cured the elbow (before this a heavier racket was making it significantly better - at least I was able to play). Maybe not everyone's tennis elbow is cured w/ a...

    Thanks very much. I'm kind of thinking 'why not' also at this point. I'll take it with me to the Pro and see what he has to say. You people have been very helpful. Thank you!

    Oh geez, well that helps! I had no idea I had to worry about string "stiffness" and racket "stiffness." I kept thinking they were the same. Everything above came right off the throats of the rackets, that is correct. I know with the second racket -- my friend Sam's -- that information...

    Dunlop Black Max

    Wow! You guys are good ;) Can anyone tell me what the "beam width" has to do w/anything. I don't expect a huge essay, just give me the jist of it. I appreciate the feedback very much. I'm trying to figure out whether it'd be worth getting this racket restrung. I'm having TE issues...

    Dunlop Black Max

    Hello I'm down there on a different Raquet thread getting some great advice re. raquets and tennis elbow, etc. I dug out my Dunlop Black Max. Can anyone tell me ANYTHING about this racket? I can't even date it! It could be the one I've been playing with since my teen years (and I am now...

    Newbie to the Forum With Racket Questions:

    If my racket tension is 55-65, and the one I borrowed is 59 then that can't be the reason for it feeling so much better, correct? So then we have to move on to the type of string and/or the racket itself? To further confuse matters, I have located my "old" racket. It is a Dunlop Black...

    Newbie to the Forum With Racket Questions:

    That's funny you called me 'Mo.' Hey how many people use strings that are natural gut vs. synthetic? I think that's a big issue for me. I have a lot of work to do. I don't even understand all this lingo. Gosh, was so much easier back in the old days - just went out - hit the crap out of the...
