Rehabilitation exercises are essential for regaining strength and mobility in the elbow joint. At MHV Clinic, we recommend various exercises to help recover. Always consult a professional before beginning any exercise program.
Wrist Flexor Stretch
Extend your injured arm in front of you with your palm facing upward. Use your other hand to pull your fingers back toward your body gently. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds and repeat a few times.
Wrist Extensor Stretch
Similar to the flexor stretch, but with the palm facing downward. Gently pull your fingers back toward your body and hold.
Grip Strengthening
Squeeze and release gently with a stress ball or hand gripper. This helps rebuild strength in the forearm muscles that support the elbow joint.
Forearm Pronation/Supination
Hold a light dumbbell with your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle. Slowly rotate your forearm so that your palm faces upward, then downward. Repeat several times to improve mobility.
Eccentric Wrist Flexion/Extension
Hold a lightweight in your hand and slowly lower your wrist toward the ground, then raise it back up. This exercise targets the muscles affected by tennis and golfer’s elbow.
Elbow Bend and Straighten
Slowly bend your elbow as far as possible, then straighten it. Repeat for a set number of repetitions to improve flexibility.
