elbow shoulder pain

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hello Dave,
Have a physical Therapist evaluate your tuning motion.
Start lifting weights.
Consider using a ball lever for uprights.

  Subject: elbow shoulder pain



  Hello list:

  I am rather new to piano tuning.  I have studied and practiced part time for about 2 years, and have tuned part time for the last year +.
  As the tuning jobs increased in the last 6 months or so, and this is only 1-4 pianos a week, my elbow has become painfull to the point  that I cant move it doing anything without pain.
  My question is for anyone who has had this pain and found a cure.  Can you share what you did, what you found, and how you fixed the problem??
  It's rather disapointing to finally find something I REALLY like to do after 50 yrs of searching only to find my body can't deliver.
  I'm right handed, thinking of practicing left handed, or going to an impact hammer.
  Any thoughts from the healed happy tuners, if your out there??
