I've been using Trigger Point Therapy, and this workbook, for years. It has done wonders for most myofascial-related pain, however, even with using trigger point therapy, it still took a solid 2 months for the tennis elbow to completely subside. I think the reason may be that trigger point therapy is excellent for muscle pain, as muscles get much better blood flow than tendons do. Since tennis elbow is tendon pain, I think he is in for two months of not playing bass.

You know, it feels like there's one muscle that's overpowering the rest around them and causing all the pain. I'm not seeking therapy for myself but if I were, I'd definitely have an accupunturist take a look at it. Sometimes their therapies involve weakening one muscle so that others around it can grow stronger. It might have a really good cure for tennis elbow in that manner.
