Stretches for Tennis Elbow - Tennis Elbow Cure?

Whether stretches for tennis elbow is a tennis elbow cure can be debated, but few would argue that tennis elbow stretches do not do any good!

When I had tennis elbow a few years ago, doing constant tennis elbow stretches really helped me. As I mentioned before this tennis elbow section is all personal experience from years of visiting sports doctors, I do not pretend to have any expertise in the medical field :-)

Please don't do these tennis elbow stretches if you feel pain while doing them, it will prolong your recovery... there must be no inflammation.

Also, if you're playing tennis make sure the pain is not facilitated by bad technical tennis strokes

• Straighten out your arm
• Point your fingers downwards (palm facing you)
• Take the other arm and pull your fingers back towards you
• Hold for 20 seconds, and feel those wrist extensors stretching!

Note: Pulling your fingers to the left and right will work as slightly different tennis elbow stretches, it stretches different areas.

2) Here is the second tennis elbow cure stretch :-)

• Straighten out your arm.
• Point your fingers up wards (palm facing outwards like a stop sign)
• Pull fingers back towards you
• Hold for 20 seconds

3) If you have a painful tennis elbow then all stretches that release the forearm are good. The third of the tennis elbow stretches is:

• Roll up a towel and put it on a flat surface
• lie your elbow on it (palm facing upwards)
• Make a fist
• With your other arm pull that fist downwards and twist slightly clockwise
• Hold for 20 seconds
