The forearm muscles work to extend the fingers and the wrist. Tennis elbow involves injury to the tendons and the muscles in the forearm.
Ligaments, muscles and tendons all hold the joint together. The bony bump along the outside part of the elbow is known as the lateral epicondyle. Bony bumps at the bottom part of the humerus are referred to as the epicondyles. The elbow joint is made up of three bones: the upper arm bone (humerus) and the two bones within the forearm (ulna and radius).
Repeatedly performing the same muscles over and over can irritate the tendon insertions, which leads to tenderness and pain on the outer part of the elbow. The forearm tendons and muscles respond negatively from overusing the joint. Tennis elbow is when the tendons joining the forearm muscles along the outside part of the elbow become inflamed or degenerate. Playing tennis and other racquet sports can cause this condition to occur, but there are other activities and sports that can place you at risk. Tennis elbow (known as lateral epicondylitis) is a painful condition within the elbow caused from overusing the joint. We always need to use our clinical judgement, and exercises are ideally prescribed bespoke to patients as individuals depending on their fitness levels, pain levels and stage of the recovery journey.
Bare in mind though, with any research, one paper will be released that recommends one protocol, and then another research recommends something completely different. Of course, these exercises are based on our opinion, and clinical experience, but some also have the backing of research. Let’s talk about tennis elbow, and discuss our top five exercises to help recover from tennis elbow.
