These evidence-based rehabilitation exercises are specifically designed to reduce lateral elbow pain, remodel the extensor tendons, and restore forearm strength. Click any card below to view detailed instruction steps and physiological targets.
Lying face down, raise your arms out to the sides in a T-shape to strengthen middle back muscles.
Roll a broom handle or dowel horizontally using wrist motions to develop extensor endurance.
Controlled bending and straightening of the elbow to improve range of motion and gliding.
Rest forearm and lift weight sideways (thumb pointing up) to reinforce radial stabilizers.
Lift weight with opposite hand, then lower it slowly using only the affected wrist.
Curl wrist upwards (palm facing up) under controlled resistance to balance forearm flexors.
Bilateral stretch: pull wrist down (palm down) and pull fingers back (palm up) to lengthen muscles.
Rotate forearm slowly so palm alternates facing upwards and downwards to build mobility.
Hold a hammer by the end and rotate forearm inward/outward to strengthen rotators.
Press backs of hands together pointing down, slowly lift elbows to stretch deep wrist extensors.
Depress shoulder, rotate arm inward, flex wrist, and tilt head to mobilize the radial nerve pathway.
