Exercise Tennis Elbow – But Don’t Overstretch?

In this video, Coach / Kinesiologist, Eric Wong of Precision Movement demonstrates three exercise techniques for treating Tennis Elbow.

Eric has specialized in training combat athletes, including national level amateur boxers, UFC and other fighters.

In the video description, he warns against the risks of “over stretching” – which he claims can cause further damage.

For my take on this, please see my post at Tennis Elbow Classroom:

The 3 Key Principles Of Tennis Elbow Rehab Exercise

Are you looking for which exercises to do when you have Tennis Elbow – And which exercises are best?

You're in the right place – But let me ask you this, first: Are you sure it's the right time to begin those exercises?

Because, I have to tell you, there IS a right time and a wrong time to begin your Tennis Elbow rehab exercises!

And I'd to help you avoid the common mistake of starting them at the wrong time – Or in the wrong order, because it can make a huge difference to your healing and recovery!

So, let's talk about three key principles – that you won't likely hear anywhere else:

• Why Tennis Elbow Rehab Exercises are NOT the top priority – in the beginning of your healing process,
  
  
• How and why starting those Exercises right away often aggravates the injury,
  
  
• WHAT the BEST Exercise to begin your Tennis Elbow rehab IS (when it is time to start)
  
  
• (And why that exercise is NOT actually Wrist Extension)

So, put down those weights, bands or rubber bars for a minute – and let's reconsider this thing.

Because after 15 years of experience in treating Tennis Elbow and coaching people online, I've seen WAY too many people get these 3 things wrong…

(along with all the other treatment mistakes, like taking pills, icing, wearing a brace and getting Cortisone Shots)

Lateral Epicondylitis Rehab: Are Eccentric Exercises best?

Or is the eccentric rehab approach just another exercise fad that’s gotten a little too much hype lately?

Full story on rehab with Eccentric Exercise

(An ‘Eccentric’ contraction is simply the controlled lengthening of a muscle against resistance – Picture the lowering of a dumbbell weight in a Biceps curl, for instance.)

Based on several medical studies, there’s definitely evidence to support the idea that performing eccentric muscle contractions may (in certain cases) be superior to concentric ones when it comes to tendon rehabilitation.

This is especially true when it comes to Tendinosis, which most Tennis Elbow cases turn out to be.

A lot of the buzz seems to revolve around a single study – A small, but apparently successful study: Read the full post on Eccentric Exercise

What If Exercises Make My Tennis Elbow Worse?

Rehab exercises for Tennis Elbow are easy enough to learn - The hard part is knowing when to do them.
