“Tennis elbow

As you said – my 2 years long tennis elbow pain has finally disappeared. You did only three treatments, one with the injection of the product from my own blood. Already two days later the pain was a lot less. I did a lot of gardening and Golf - you did not exactly recommend this – but the pain continued to vanish. I think about 4-8 weeks after the end of your treatment the arm was completely normal. Only 4 sessions, after so many trials before – thank you. Hello from ES”
