Perform simple stretches and exercises in order to prevent, as well as eliminate, the troublesome symptoms of lateral epicondylitis, better known as Tennis Elbow.

hi sir I was wondering if you could help me. I was diagnosed with tennis elbow 3 years ago and only recently have I bought the flextend glove. I'm only on week 5 and do see a bit of improvement, but I feel like I should be recovering a bit more. will it take longer for me to recover since I've had the condition for so long? I was thinking that was it or maybe it is radial tunnel syndrome. I greatly appreciate what you do and thanks for the videos!

PART-I

You are correct, the longer you've had a condition, the longer it takes to fully recover from it. Make sure you are fatiguing adequately, which is total fatigue by the 20th repetition. If you are not fully fatigued and are just stopping because you hit number 20, then you need to do one of several things:

1. Tighten the tubing

2. Reduce rest time between sets

3. Make sure you are getting full splaying of the fingers.

PART-II

4. Make sure that your wrist is moving through the exercise from full flexion (not forced, but natural) to extension. Just changing this one aspect will increase your level of fatigue; as I see people that just open and close their hand when they start feeling tired.

5. Add a second band so that you have one in the top level of rings and one in the bottom.

PART-III

Try 1-3 first as that usually takes care of the problem. And just stick with it so you rehabilitate iyour condition n a nice controlled fashion. This will ensure a long-term stability in your wrist and elbow. Keep it up and follow the program as outlined!

If, you are a musician , warm up with FLEXTEND doing 3-sets Palm-Up and when finished playing coool down by performing the same number of sets. Note: This is in addition to the normal routine sets of the program.

i stretch morning and night with light massage and do similar forearm exercises with dumbbells. will my arms ever get fully better and should i be exercising my forearms as in the video on a daily basis for full swifter recovery

@MrTendonosis

When addressing a muscle imbalance of any specific joint, it is always recommended that when one muscle group is stretched and lengthened (agonist), that the opposing muscle group (antagonist) be exercised and strengthened. This helps maintain the length of the muscle created through stretching as well as minimizes muscle spasm or “rebounding”.

andre, I am a tennis pro.i had severe tennis elbow. I couldn't wash my hair or brush my teeth without pain.I started the glove Oct 21,2011. It took a good 3 months to my tennis elbow to about 90% healed.Follow URehab's instructions and you will get more proficient. Twice a day AM and PM 12 hours apart 6 days a week..do both hands for variation and balance. IT WILL WORK

@URehab thankyou so much for getting back to me much appreciated, i will take into account what u have said.

@MrTendonosis

If you are performing reverse wrist curls for tennis elbow, you are making the condition worse, as you are "gripping", thus shortening the already tight, restrictive flexor tendons, while simultaneously shortening / contracting the extensor group, thus subjecting the injured area(s) to even more stress and damage. All extension motions for tennis elbow need to be pure, isolated motions with no barriers in the motion. In this case, the flexors are fighting the extensors.

this is dominating my life and has done since early 2008, i am about to start a teaching course which will involve a fair amount of computer work and the injury makes me nervous about this as i could not imagine having to sacrifice my weight training to lessen the frequency of the pain. i also feel like slightly less of a man for having to be so cautious with my arms. any advice would be grately appreciated. thankyou
