The extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) is a muscle of the posterior forearm and part of the radial group as well as the wrist extensor group. Because of the fascial restriction that is common in the posterior forearm, it can be especially important to learn now to work the ECRL, as well as the other muscles of the posterior forearm compartment.
As one of the muscles of the common wrist extensor belly/tendon group, the ECRB is often involved with tennis elbow, so the therapist should be conversant with its assessment and treatment.
When working the low back, a good strategy is to begin with a smaller treatment contact such as thumb or finger pads to assess and begin treatment of the lumbar region, and then switch to a larger contact such as the palm or elbow to deliver deeper pressure.
