Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, occurs when the tendons in your arms are overworked, usually from repetitive motion. Although tennis players suffer from the condition, many people can develop tennis elbow by performing everyday activities. Luckily, there are several tennis elbow exercises to help you find relief. Should you feel any pain while doing these exercises, stop immediately. You should also consult your doctor before performing these exercises to avoid further muscle strain.
1. Wrist flexor
This exercise provides you with a stretch from your elbow to your wrist.
Stretch the affected arm straight out in front of you. Turn it over so your hand is facing up. Using your other hand, gently push the extended hand toward the floor, pulling backward. Only bend at the wrist so the rest of your arm remains straight. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds and release. Repeat two to four times. Repeat the exercise on your other hand if needed.
