Tennis Elbow

Third year of kenjitsu finally paid off with Tennis Elbow.  Usually I'm  getting  smashed knuckles.  It is fortunate that my head still in place and it can be used to control stretching exercises, which I can start to do right away.


1.

Bend the wrist forward and backward as far as you can.

10 times x 3 sets.


2.

Keep the elbow at your side and keep your elbow bent 90 degrees throughout the whole exercise.
Bring the palm facing up.
Hold 5 seconds.
Turn palm down.
Hold 5 seconds.
10 times x 3 sets.



3.

Keep the elbow at your side (palm to hip)
Slowly bring your palm up to your shoulder and bend your elbow as far as you can.
Straighten your elbow out as far as you can.
10 times x 3 sets.

There is a few exercises when you are almost pain free. I hope to cover them later.

By the way - Elbow strap really helps to keep pain out while you are doing these exercises. My "hand model" does not have any problems with her elbow and does not wear it.

Another solution is to join NRA. I'm not sure if they have family discounts...
