Tennis elbow is basically a repetitive stress injury that can be very debilitating, inconveniencing and excruciatingly painful. If you have this injury, I know that you are going through a lot right now, I will give you a few pointers in this article that will help you reduce the pain, make the injury manageable and work at treating the injury fast and effectively. I will mainly focus on the great benefits of using elbow tendonitis exercises and their immense benefits of reducing pain, increasing the rate of healing and getting rid of some of the symptoms of the injury including the swelling and inflammation.
Tennis elbow exercises are great because they are scientifically and medically proven to initiate the healing process even immediately after the injury is noticed. We can group tennis elbow exercises into three: there are those gentle kneading and massaging exercises that are performed on the injured tendons immediately after the injury of shortly after it when the symptoms are still severe and painful. These exercises are simple and involve compressing and massaging the injured area to reduce inflammation, improve the flow of the blood on the injury region and the entire arm and initiate the healing process.
As the healing process begins, it is important to wear an elbow brace even if the injury does not seem that serious. This is because the tennis elbow support plays a significant role of ensuring that the torn tendonitis are in their rightful positions as healing takes place. We would not want tendons to heal, pain to go away and swelling to subside but the arm is not usable because it did not heal right, right? When the arm will be less painful, it will now be time to switch to the second category of exercises that will involve more intense activity mainly stretching. Stretching exercises are done to speed up healing and to make the arm ready for use once it is completely healed.
The last stage of the exercises are done when the arm is almost or completely healed. There are a number of weight and strength exercises that will make the tendons strong and conditioned enough for use as well as making all other tissues and joints in the arm ready for action. This is a very important part of the exercises but it can also be dangerous because doing the wrong exercises or doing the exercises wrong can lead to further or renewed injuries and that will be the beginning of newer problems.
