@chrisandlucy55 : Thanks, makes better sense now! Best to have 'thumb up,' which is neutral wrist position.. make sense? Re: why the thumb is flexed onto ball during 3 stage exercise - this is to create more resistance. The exercise still works if thumb is not flexed onto ball. Try it, just less resistance and less isolation of wrist extensor muscles. Your choice.

Let me know if we can assist further.

@chrisandlucy55 :Sorry, I've never heard the term 'volleyball elbow' before so I'm not sure what side of the elbow it refers to... never-the-less, we always recommend that during any rehab the elbow is flexed to 90 degrees and supported against the rib cage. This makes it easier to comfortably isolate the target area without stressing or depending on the shoulder for support.

Let me know if we can assist further.
