How do hit the key when you're using both hands to tune?

Ruth's right about the Bowman hammer, they are great.  I also was taught to
tune with both hands.  I'm right handed on grands and left handed on
uprights.  Being left handed on upright usually makes you stand most of the
time (or that might be because I'm short) but it sure beats sore limbs.  I
think it really saves your back and more or less evens out the stress on
your body.  I'd also so see a chiropractor or massage therapist.

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??
