G'Day Gordin, I'm not sure if this is the same as tennis elbow but for some years ago I developed a very stiff, slightly painful, elbow on my right arm. The cause was some combination of: - excessive sweep strokes (instead of edging the boat), poor computer ergonomics (important contribution as I'm a desk worker) and too tight a grip on the paddle. I fixed all the above and also went to a kayaking physiotherapist who provided some simple exercises which completely cured this problem and some shoulder problems. The exercises are a bit hard to describe but I thoroughly recommend finding a physio who knows about tennis elbow. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
