climbing mag article re: elbow tentonitis

Does anyone remember which issue this article was in or have it saved on there computer. It was written by a Doctor I think and used the eccentric , concentric method of treatment. Painful but effective, I can't find my copy and a friend is suffering though this and I know it works.
Thanks

i am sure this has already been said, but the best treatment is prevention. stay off of it until it feels better, and work those opposing muscles. if you practice this regularly you will eliminate tendinitis without any painful treatments.

the only method to 'treat' tendonitis is to give it time to heal. this is my opinion.

although, now that i think about it.... i remember a time that i got tendonitis in my elbow. i rubbed chocolate cake on it for three weeks and when i went back to climbing i was right as rain! amazing! i'd recommend trying the chocolate cake method. eccentric concentric method probably works, too, though.

Basta916 thank you very much, that is the article I was looking for. It"s nice to know this forum is still a good resource. I'm quite sure everyone on here knows quite a bit more about this than me but this treatment works if you suffer from tentonitis. If you take the time to read it ,the rate of success is 100% . I used it and it worked, so do as I did try everything else then give it a go. Thanks again.
