The pathology is the muscles are pulling on the bone and the bone is getting pissed off about it. The strap means the muscles pull on the strap. The massages relaxes the muscles - he’ll be able to find the sore spots easy enough, they reveal themselves.

There is a perfect position but its mostly a smidge closer to the elbow than the widest/muscliest part of the forearm. He needs to give his elbow a break or it wont heal good.

Word. I hurt my superior and inferior extensor retinaculum in my left ankle and had to do some physio to strengthen them again. All because I wore bad shoes and was very stationary during COVID lockdowns.
Had to get one of those exercise strap loop things and do exercises with it, and I still do the tips toe exercises for both ankles (one hand on wall, stand on one leg and move from flat foot to tip toe and back, for each leg, a few times a day).

You can increase that a little by standing toes on a step, heels free hanging, then going up and down. It’ll give your ankle a larger range of motion working the calf muscles more. If you’re ready for the next stage.
