Elbow Tendonitis Stretches

• Deltoid Stretch – Anchor the StretchRite® to the top of a door. Standing with your side facing the door, reach across your body, and grab the end of the StretchRite®. Carefully step away from the door and lean into the stretch. This will stretch the outer portion of your upper arm.
• Dumbbell Stretch – Place your forearm on a table, desk, stool, or other sturdy surfaces, hanging the wrist and arm off the edge. Holding a light dumbbell (or a can of soup or a water bottle), bend your wrist upwards and hold it for twenty seconds. Bend it down and hold it for twenty seconds. Repeat this ten times.
• Extensor Stretch – Stretch your arm straight out in front of you, level with the shoulder. Bend your wrist to point your fingers down towards the floor. With your opposite hand, push against the back of your hand to give it a good stretch. Hold for 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat ten times.

In addition to your elbow tendonitis exercises and stretches, be sure to massage the elbow so that you can continue in pain relief. Simply press on the outer area of the elbow with two fingers and rub for approximately five minutes.
