Why stretching???
If you don't know already tennis elbow is a tendon injury which means it gets less oxygenated blood than other muscles would which in turn will lengthen your recovery time. Stretches are a great way to help because doing these will increase blood flow throughout the body which in turn will help your arm get the blood needed for a quicker recovery and even will help to reduce tennis elbow pain.
What stretches to do...
- Clasp Stretch
1. Place your arms straight in front of you
2. Put your right arm over your left and interweave the fingers (if the pain is on the left put your left over the right)
3. Now slowly pull on the right hand (towards the ceiling) with the left had
4. Now hold this for 30 seconds keeping you r right arm locked in place
You should aim to do this stretch 3 times in the morning and 3 times in the night.
For this exercise you will need to grab yourself a small towel
1. Stretch the towel behind your back holding both ends (one behind the head the other at the lower back)2. With the higher hand slowly pull upwards until you get to as far as you can go
3. Now slowly pull the lower hand until you can go no further
4. Repeat this exercise 5 times
- Pole stretch
1. With the arm outstretched (the one that feels tender), hold the pole straight in that hand 2. Slowly tilt the pole downwards without moving the arm, just the wrist 3. Bring the pole back up 4. Repeat this 20 times 2-3 times every day
These stretches are great to incorporate with tennis elbow home cures and also tennis elbow exercises so make sure you include them in your routine.
