π§ Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia) typically involves pain in the region of the lateral elbow, which is where the common tendon for the wrist extensor muscles attaches. Like other tendon issues, resistance training appears to be helpful in many cases for both reducing painful symptoms and improving the work capacity of the tendon. Here are several strategies that you can try if you are currently experiencing pain in this region.
1οΈβ£Radial Nerve Mobilization: The radial nerve runs through the extensor compartment of the forearm and may be associated with tennis elbow type pain. The specific movement shown here will put the radial nerve on tension and can be a useful technique for decreasing any nerve sensitivity in the region.
.
2οΈβ£Wrist Extensor Curls: Move through the full range of motion, which will work the wrist extensors both concentrically and eccentrically. Shoot for 3 sets of 6-12 repetitions.
.
3οΈβ£Forearm Supinator Curl: This exercise will target the supinator muscle, which also attaches at the lateral elbow. Perform 3 sets of 6-12 repetitions.
