Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is an inflammation on the outside of the elbow. It often comes from an overuse injury. This video will show you my top seven treatments for tennis elbow.
The first treatment is wrist flexion and extension active range of motion (AROM). This will help loosen up the muscles and get them warm to stretch.
Then you will go into a wrist extensor stretch. You can do this modified or with a full stretch. The wrist extensors go from the wrist all the way to the lateral elbow.
Next, using a tennis elbow support brace is a great way to take pressure off the epicondyle by putting pressure on the muscle belly.
Now you want to strengthen the muscles. You can do this with a light weight like a soup or vegetable can. Make sure your movements are slow and controlled for wrist flexion and extension.
With an Armbar, you can do all kinds of exercises. This one is an eccentric wrist extension movement.
You can also do stability exercises with the Armbar as well. For these, try to keep your arm and elbow still, and move just at your wrist. It’s sometimes hard to get, but it really works those muscles well.
The last treatment is soft tissue mobilization (STM). This is not a massage, even though that can be helpful. You want to move the tissue around to help break up scar tissue and adhesions.
Finger pain and hand pain can be caused by many things including hand and finger arthritis, circulation issues, an injury, or just achiness in the joints. These 7 finger and hand pain treatments should help.
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is an inflammation on the outside of the elbow. It often comes from an overuse injury. This video shows you my favorite stretches & exercises for tennis elbow.
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) can promote tissue healing & help reduce scar tissue/adhesions. A common injury that responds well to IASTM is lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow.
Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is an inflammation on the inside of the elbow. It often comes from an overuse injury. This video shows you my favorite stretches & exercises for golfer’s elbow.
Finger arthritis can make it difficult to do everyday tasks, and it can be very painful. These simple finger stretches and exercises should help relieve the pain.
Wrist pain can be caused by things like tight muscles, overworked muscles, or an injury. Here are 3 of my favorite wrist stretches to help relieve pain in the wrist and elbow area.
Radial nerve glides, radial nerve flossing, and radial nerve stretches should be done very carefully. Don’t overdo the glide or flossing movements because that can cause more irritation.
My favorite stretch for the wrist pain relief is a prayer stretch. It’s great for the wrists, hands, and elbows. This stretch is performed in real-time, so it’s easy to follow along if you want.
Median nerve glides, median nerve flossing, and median nerve stretches should be done very carefully. Don’t overdo the glide or flossing movements because that can cause more irritation.
