In reply to biscuit:
Yes of course the nature of the article has to be brief and to work for the majority and miss the more in-depth info. But my response was more about my experience with low loads which is what most articles online promote, and I thought there was a lack of mentioning the benefits of high mechanical loads and therefore that's why I commented, for the benefit of others who might ended up in many dead roads like myself.
Why I meant on my last line, poorly explained, was that from my experience talking to a lot of climbers and professionals is that there seems to be a wide range of (low-load) interventions (therabands, low weight eccentrics, supinations, therabars, arm-aids, Randalls stretch for golfers...) that climbers attribute to their success to recovery. However that might just be a combination of accepting that the elbow needs attention and the consequential awareness, stopping aggravating elements and some of the exercises (if they correctly prescribed as you say). But that can be hit and miss depending on what specialist you talk to. I've done protocols for up to 3 months that were a waste of money and time. I've also amassed a collection of useless contraptions in the process.
I'm not a professional by any measure, but I just have to disagree with you that an ultrasound at an early stage is not advised. I'd probably say it might not be necessary for the vast majority of cases, but for those that the condition can complicate it can be invaluable. I for one wished the first thing I did was get an ultrasound, it would have saved me so much time and money. In fact it wasn't until I got two different scans with the same diagnosis (one by Chris Myers and the other the Hakan Alfredson) that I actually got the right answers and now I do have a protocol (tendon density training) that I'm finally seeing some progress with.
This is by no means a criticism of your article, but I've taken the opportunity of this article to give a side-note based on my experience that the general advise doesn't always work for everyone.
