I done mine working with a tree sugeon and chucking tree cuts, had it 3 wks still cant even lift a weight ie flask of water let alone do these excercises. guy in vid aint got T Elbow! this is more rehab and preventive once its heeled a bit....
@cheelseaoldskool oh but to help the healing...i did this, but i started with 5 lbs...now this is contrary--BECAUSE my tennis elbow was so bad, i couldn't brush my teeth. i couldn't lift a cup of coffee with my right hand, but i forced myself to do this with 5 lbs, my norm palm down was 25lbs and palm up was 40 lbs...i could barely do 5 lbs...and it HURT... so not sure if this is right for everyone because I could see you getting more hurt
LoL at people looking for a magic bullet "cure". This guy's on the right track but his form is absolutely terrible. Much too fast. Way too jerky. Probably doing more harm than good. You must slow it down a bit mate, and while you're at it, use a lighter weight. Better to do 3 sets of ten with perfect form than 3 with a compensatory jerking motion.
@poisonjimmy hmm..I did this when I had tennis elbow BUT I had to do 5 lbs...and it hurt, but after the first day, the next day it felt 10 times better, and I went up to 10 lbs...but I can see that it might damage you if you have serious ligament damage. IT HURT to brush my teeth
this is not a very good method. the best ive found so far is to straighten your arm out completly, take your fingers with the opposite hand, and press them towards u, then turn them down towards the ground and press that way doing 10 sets of 10 seconds on each one. this has tremendously helped. i actualy found that this excersise that you have posted increases the pain i feel.
@intercooler2 I think this in the long run will fix your current elbow and prevent it for the future. If I don't lift and do these, my arm will scream when i play
i've heard alot about glucosamine... but never tried it. my tennis elbow nowadays happens because I hardly play and then, wham i'm going 100 mph an hour playing... but now it's fine
rest doesn't really work--my arm aches now, but if I start doing my wrist curls, biceps, triceps, the pain will go away. I don't play very much anyways so the muscles have atrophied. I suggest weights always--muscles will stabilize the elbow
are u sure u have tennis elbow? has a doctor told u? im asking because whenever i do bicep or tricep my elbow is in SEVERE pain..i went to the gym today and did just the wrist curls i saw in this vid..
whoa...define severe. when my tennis elbow acts up, i can't brush my teeth, holding a coffee cup hurts, and when I hit a backhand...OUCH...BUT once I warm up, the backhand is okay. Then, I do the wrist curls--when it's bad, I can't do 10 lbs...so I do 5 lbs...and build it up...but that's me--i'm not an MD...so if it hurts too much--go see a sports doctor orthopedic
yours sounds pretty bad also..when its acting up i cant close a car door..close my socks drawer..same stuff as you like brushin teeth..bt i tried your advice and it has helped me somewhat compared to everything else which didnt help at all..like my physical therapy didnt help for shit really..but yea keep me posted on anything that helps thanks alot..
Have a Dr, take a more in-depth look at your elbow. If physical therapy isn't helping you then it might be beyond repair by means of therapy. You might need to seek surgical relief. Get a second and third opinion on your condition. Sounds pretty bad.
Hey hi10spro, get your elbow checked out and see if you have stage 2 or 3 tendonitis. You might require extensive therapy or even surgery by the sound of it.
Holding a cup of coffee hurting? That sounds VERY severe. I think its beyond the point of calling it repetitive stress injury. Get it checked out man.
I started to get tennis elbow recently because I stopped serving for about 6 years and started playing matches again. So my body isn't used to the torque and vibrations anymore. GO TO DR!
@hillsong1004 right now it's fine, but yeah going to a doc is always the best....problem now is i'm in thailand. problem 2... it's fine... go figure...
nah... i can lift...because i lift in the morning...notice how no one is there? it's 5:45 a.m. 2. my wife will let me play once a week at night--baby is 7 months and quite a handful. 3... i don't play on super fast courts so much...that really, really hurts my elbow
I got really bad tennis elbow in both arms from weight lifting any kind of lifting I find re-injures it... The only cure I found is patience avoiding using it and time off...
sounds like you hyper extended it. I did that once from lifting... and take GREAT pain now to avoid it. if you have this type of injury, forget lifting until it heals.
I know your right it's the only thing that helps it heal...Really sucks i love training...Now recently my fingers are kinda moving on there own so to top off the ol' tennis elbow I may have a pinched nerve as well... Nothing I can do but wait it sucks so much man...
for someone who has bad tennis elbow this will only worsen it, would absolutely destroy the tendon... serious tennis elbow needs bracing, and lots of rest, with none of the motion that caused it, until u feel the pain subsiding, then strength training can start slowly.
your hand pain seems to be something related to your piano--I used to have the back of my hand ache--but for tennis elbow, weights is a better long term cure than a shot, ice, or laying off. I believe if you build muscle around the joint, it can only lead to better support for the joint and tendon, and you'll feel better...Initially, my t-elbow was so bad I couldn't do 5 lbs...and now I can do 20/40 lbs respectively. the palms down is way harder so try it lightly and see
Hes right, I have noticed too that light weight training improves healing of an injury. You don't go heavy enough to re injure it but stay light at first to increase blood flow and to strengthen the muscles and the tendons and ligaments. If part of the connective tissue is damaged I think the weight training helps strengthen the remaining tissue and takes load off the damaged part.
rehab is the key--if not, what do you do? rest, and get muscle atrophy--then go play and it hurts worse? take anti-inflams? so you don't feel the pain, then go play and hurt it worse. get a cortizone shot? then, go play and make it worse? no. you do muscle rehab--rebuild the muscles around the joint and tendon--buffering it so you get better--also fix the technique--you're doing something wrong...
yes. surprisingly... the theory is the brace stops the vibration from reaching your elbow, but i think the compression of your muscle gives it more support and makes it easier--like the Lazer swim suits...compression is a good thing for muscles--feels better and adds heat to the area. dont' get too tight a brace though. i like neoprene braces with a velcro tie--that i can make tighter.
Is this excercise recommended when you have tennis elbow or to prevent it? I think i just got a really bad case of it playing racquetball, so my plan was to give it a day or two, then try whats in your video. Motrin? ice? anything else? Also i have a bruise in the top middle of my forearm (when wrist faces down), is this normal?
your bruise might be a strain in that area--unless you got hit. sometimes you pull or strain a muscle so bad it tears and turns black and blue--is there pain? like when you close your hand--if so, go to a doc, but ice is usually good and advil--an anti inflammatory.
NO. did you hyper extend your elbow on a tricep machine? (i did that once.) is it inside elbow or outside--if your right arm is out in front of you, the inside part of the elbow faces your chest. how did you hurt it?
I don't know how I hurt it? The first time I felt the pain was during the time I was riding my bike. I went to lean forward and felt the sharp paint shoot up my left arm from my elbow up. After that I began feeling more and more pain while weight training. My pain is on the outside of my elbow where the little bump is. Its been a week since Ive done any weight training and Ive been icing as well as taken Motrin for the swelling. Should I rest longer, ice more?
you hurt it biking?! it might be tied in to your hips or lower back. were you applying force to your arms to keep you upright? you need to ice it and see if you tore something? is it black and blue or swollen--generally black and blue is broken while swollen is strained
I done mine working with a tree sugeon and chucking tree cuts, had it 3 wks still cant even lift a weight ie flask of water let alone do these excercises. guy in vid aint got T Elbow! this is more rehab and preventive once its heeled a bit....
