Can you fix your tennis elbow without stopping playing?

Download a FREE Relaxation Checklist - gravitytennis.com/relaxation-checklist
If you suffer from a chronic tennis related injury (tennis elbow, tendonitis of the shoulder and wrist, etc.), chances are you are doing one or more of three things:
1) You are gripping the handle too tightly.
2) You contact point is chronically late.
3) You are forcing your swing.
In this video I will help you discover three main causes of tennis elbow, and simple changes you can make to your game to resolve these issues.
Gravity Tennis naturally addresses these issues with its focus on relaxed and efficient technique.
One time, I was teaching a new student with chronic tennis elbow; he wore a gel band on his wrist. In our lesson, his forearm muscles, which normally bulged, relaxed so much that the gel band slid right off his elbow. He no longer needed the band and his issue was resolved. Dramatic things happen when you learn to relax!

I need to watch this every day.

[@PeterNordstrom-rd3if]

I'm 43 and had tennis elbow for the first time this year. I experimented with different strings and tensions. Lower tension didn't help as it made the racquet vibrate more. I normally use poly strings but discovered multifiliment and I love how soft they feel at contact. Currently using solinco x natural in mains and rpm blast in crosses (55 to 60 lbs). The heavier racquets (11+oz) are too heavy for me to swing correctly, while the lite (under 10oz) don't hold up well against fast serves. The mid weight (standard) of 10.2 to 10.6 feel the best to me.

Thanks a lot

[@b.shankarrao9149]

Very useful lesson to players suffering with tennis elbow.

[@Kojimalosophy]

Concise, eloquently explained and to the point, awesome video! Thank you!

[@gravitytennis]

You're very welcome!

[@pierredaher9590]

Extremely valuable tips besides the adequate racquet choice strings and tension , Many thanks!!

[@gravitytennis]

Thanks, Pierre! Glad it was helpful.

[@ToothlessUncle]

Most accurate vid so far!

[@gravitytennis]

Wow, thanks!

[@salvadordy8992]

Thank you very much. This will help solve my tennis elbow problem.

[@gravitytennis]

Happy to help! I'd encourage you to check out my website for more tips on developing lower-impact technique.

[@letsgofuckingcrazy]

Different and valuable approach on top of racquet stiffness and strings, tks for that. I could experience myself with lots of improvement only changing the overgrip and adding hand dryer to my hand. So i could loosen up the grip. Other thing to consider: how thick is you grip. On the other hand, I also agree with your approach on weight: I felt better after adding 6g to the head. It get more natural momentum, more power and forced myself to pay more attention on ball contact and natural and wider swing termination. I think I'm still adapting to it because sometimes I feel my shoulder on serve (I'll follow your tips from now on) but generally speaking, the elbow pain has improved.

[@desy2478]

Thanks I think this is just what I need. I've been getting pain for a while and its worse after matches where I've had to hit balls late. I think being more relaxed with better technique will help me a lot.

[@gravitytennis]

Thanks! Check out my course; it really goes into these concepts in depth

[@abhikhare3144]

golfers elbow pain on my serve 😭 ....no pain on ground strokes ....will try with a lighter grip on the serve i tend to clutch tightly

[@shreyrohilla7883]

bruh same

[@abhikhare3144]

update:- its all better now just needed improvement on my technique

[@adrianhawke1800]

Ant thoughts on Golfers elbow on my top arm on a double handed backhand.

[@gravitytennis]

Hey Adrian, the two handed backhand can easily be the tensest stroke for numerous reasons, and I'd guess it could be the chronic squeezing. Do you have a light or heavy racket?

[@miguelbarahona6636]

Based on my own experience: Check: too tight strings (specially poly), foream muscle tension and biceps muscle tension (sometimes golfer elbow pain is due to a biceps tendonitis).

[@iforc]

You would love Dr. Nicholas Romanov with the pose method. He goes at sport much the same way. Y’all would make an food combo it looks like.

[@gravitytennis]

Thanks iforc, I'll check him out!

[@carlodave9]

He's dead on about light rackets, but lighter rackets that flex well are fairly helpful. This, combined with improving your form will make you a much better and more comfortable player. Also, icing the elbow or shoulder after matches is a proven preventative. Vigorous play causes strain and stress in joints, muscles, and tendons, whether you feel it or not. If you want to play into old age, you better learn to find a way to work that in. I bring cold-packs in a cooler to matches and ice my elbow on the way home.

[@gravitytennis]

Thanks for your additions. I may try the pre-icing technique you recomended

[@agradina]

all this are very logical, but what happen when u get tennis elbow from stiff strings or stiff racquet , i dont understand how vibration can affect muscle and wat will be minmimum starting racquet weight for amateur player ?

[@gravitytennis]

I do think shock has an impact, but I think technique is even more of a factor

[@HankHell41]

[@cozyslor]

Drink every time he says "ergonomic". But seriously, does this apply to the underneath of the elbow or "golfers" elbow?

[@gravitytennis]
