Need advice for client with forearm pain

I have a client who is in dental school who presented to me with pain in his forearm extensor and flexor muscles, some symptoms of carpal tunnel, with some tenderness around the medial and lateral epicondyle. I have used various techniques on him from general stripping of the muscles to trigger point to deep kneading. He is typing a lot, using dental instruments, etc. and cannot just stop doing these activities as he is in school for quite a while. He is icing the areas at least a couple times per day.

I worked on him a 2nd time and now his forearms are more achy and one of his doctors told him that he could go through some discomfort thru the healing process.

Any insight you could give me would be greatly appreciated here.

Thanks everyone for sharing, this looks like great resource ( I just joined)

I am not sure if your client is familiar with the fact that stretching workshops from
www.therossitersystem.com
are recognized by
www.danb.org
for continuous education credit.

Your client sounds like someone who might benefit from taking it.
