One thing I found to be all over the internet was to do tennis elbow exercises. The first thing that jumped into my head was that this was stupid, by doing exercises you are just going to make the pain and injury worse right? Wrong!
By doing daily tennis elbow exercises what you are doing is strengthening the injured muscle which does go on to give you a reduction in stiffness and an improvement to your range of mobility which helps your recovery process and it also helps prevent future injury.
I went through the exercises for 5-10 minutes a day everyday but I made sure that I took a rest when it started to hurt so I wouldn't make the injury worse.
I was amazed at the level of improvement after 4 weeks, so I went back to playing tennis....big mistake
