Tennis Elbow Workout Plans For Flexibility

By Kelly Pusey


Tennis elbow is a very hurting condition caused by repetitive movement of the hands and wrists. This condition is exacerbated by movement and needs ice, rest and often anti-inflammatory remedy. Some people who do business with their hands on a day after day like carpenters and landscapers experience troubles with tennis elbow. And since the elbow is indeed so sore, it doesn't get worked out as it should and in most cases becomes hard to move even though healing has taken place. A necessary part of the healing routine is a series of elbow flexibility workouts that will make it possible to restore overall flexibility and range of motion in the elbow joint.

Bent Arm/Straight Arm

This movement is very simple but can be difficult for an individual who is dealing with tennis elbow. This is also among the most dangerous of all of the tennis elbow exercises and must be completed several times each day. From a standing pose fold your arm all the way up and support it for thirty seconds, then extend it as far as you can. Continue to keep it in the straight stance for thirty seconds and repeat.

Elbow Stretch

While taking a stand; hold your injured arm out in front of you. Grab your hand on your injured arm with your free hand and turn the wrist so that your fingers are pointing into the ground. Thoroughly rotate the wrist and point the fingers inward. Support each of these flows for a few seconds for a very good stretch.

Elbow Flex

Sit in a chair next to a table and also put your wounded elbow on the desk. Bend your wounded elbow as far up as you could. Make use of a free hand to grab your wrist and pull the elbow deeper in to the flex. Hold the stretch for thirty seconds.

Palm Rotation

Many tennis elbow victims find this to be one of the hardest of the tennis elbow exercises. Stand with your arm outstretched at your side as far as you can at shoulder height. Rotate your palm up then down many times.
