How To Keep Exercising & Lifting Weights with Tennis Elbow

[@p.taylor2604]

Awesome educational video. I had severe tendonitis and tennis elbow. I have had two rounds of the PRP and will do the prolotherapy to get me to the finish line. I agree with you that the pain from the injections can be intense but folks have to stay focused on their objectives. Your advice here was so sound; you've clearly done your homework. Keep up your excellent work!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you and good luck the the prolotherapy! 💕

[@mandidama3955]

Thanks for this video. My elbow started acting up again recently during the unstoppable challenge. I actually started doing the video you have out with tennis elbow exercises. It really helped me last time my elbow was bothering me 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad it was helpful 🥰

[@loriwilliamson5738]

Awesome, and down to earth as usual, info. You're the best PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you Lori! 🤗

[@amberlynn3098]

Amazing. Thank you so much for putting this out there for those of us on our healing journey!

[@carolynblack420]

This feels like a video that everyone should watch. Thank you for all of the super helpful tips on preventing tennis elbow.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So welcome! 🤗

[@flora6465]

Great to have all the prehab/rehab exercises in one place along with the detailed explanations!

[@eileenwilliams3404]

Great video, PJ. I had Tennis Elbow twice in the past, that lasted forever and I couldn't even lift a cup from the cupboard. Physio and needles finally helped. I am hoping to be proactive and never have it again! My hubby has it now from drywalling our new house. I will show him your video. Take care.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

It's a slow process, isn't it? I hope your hubby is improving well 😃

[@jason4liberty]

This is perfect for me! I’ve had tendinitis in my elbow previously about 2 1/2 years ago at its worst and managed to get rid of it, I think, with chiropractic and massage therapy. Just within the last week, I’ve noticed it has come back so this video hit my inbox at the perfect time. Thanks, PJ!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I hope you find it helpful!

[@olgatopol5140]

Thank you you PJ! A lot of new exercises to add to my current physio. Unfortunately it's been 2 years and the pain doesn't go away. Hugs from London, Olga ❤️

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Sorry to hear that Olga! Sending hugs 🤗

[@anaem956]

TY PJ ! Yes , my PT sent me these exercises, including neck stretches as you mention . Good reminder for me - exc as of min 14:56 , thanks ❤❤

Good stuff! 💪

Great video. Covered everything I wanted to know about tennis elbow. Thank you.

[@kimmareesapp1633]

PJ you are very informative in your Ask PJ Anything. You are awesome. 💪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I appreciate that!

[@xinicanales3660]

Good morning PJ. I started your 25 days challenge last week. I love your style. However, since I had not been moving for a while it irritated my elbow, all on me of course. I knew I could find something in your channel about it., and voila here it is Thank you!! . Greetings from Nova Scotia.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Take care of your elbow and maybe see ya in Nova Scotia next year. LH and I are travelling across Canada 🇨🇦 for 3 months.

[@xinicanales3660]

@FitnesswithPJ That sounds like a great trip and of course, would love to see you guys😉 Thanks.

[@barbarabudworth4091]

Thanks you for doing this video. I’ve been suffering with tennis elbow for about a year now. Finally started physical therapy so I’m hoping between that and the excellent info you’ve provided it will start to heal.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I feel ya! You are doing the best you can 🥰

[@tabathatomajko2332]

I have a second comment… today I tried that exercise to strengthen the rotator cuff lying down… wow that needs some work! It would be great if you could incorporate that move into more workouts!! Didn’t realize how weak that area was and how it affects the elbow! You’re Awesome PJ and I’m so grateful for you!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I have incorporated it in a few workouts, but will do so again in the future 😘. My advice, do a set before you push play. Great way to warm up the shoulders too!

[@debrawinslow8310]

This is very helpful. I will be doing these exercises. Thank you, PJ!

[@pattycraig7170]

Thank you for this! I am feeling what I suspect may be the start of tennis elbow. Gonna start adding these exercises to see how it goes!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh no! Wise to get on top of it early!! 😃

[@karenbarlow9160]

Grateful for your guidance. The elbow pain is real. And yes, I wish I didn't ignore the early pain signals...

[@tabathatomajko2332]

Thanks so much PJ! That was really helpful! I have been dealing with my elbow for several months. When it was really bad, I happened to be seeing a Hand therapist for injury to my left elbow, but my tennis elbow had flared up on my right elbow since I could only use that arm for a while. She taught me to massage in the area of the epicondyle ( the bony prominence) as well as over the tendons going into it, again causing that irritation to promote healing. And then i do those wrist extension curls every time I do dumbbell exercises, and I wear neoprene elbow sleeve when I’m working out. That combination seems to maintain it, and it is probably gradually getting better. And stop using anti-inflammatory meds or creams, they don’t help and can make it worse! Try Arnica or other natural products. Best wishes for everyone struggling with the elbows!! Tabatha

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks Tabatha! Some great tips here 💕

[@mariadamato9740]

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing. All the best to you and your recovery. 🤞🏼

[@d.s.1109]

Would these tips help with pain on the inside of the elbow too? Enjoy your videos!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

For the most part yes. IMS and physio will def help.

[@lovecatmom]

this was awesome!! great video!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Glad you liked it!! I hope your elbow gets better fast!!

[@lisamerges6441]

Excellent information. I’ve had tennis elbow so I do understand the pain. Mine only lasted 2 months. I hope your elbow heals soon. Those shots can’t be fun.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I hope so too! 🙏

[@carmelmalone8262]

Thanks PJ great video. I’ve had tennis elbow twice (each elbow once). I found kt tape helped a lot plus a support sleeve when I trained. It took close to 2 years to fully heal.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad it has FINALLY healed! xx

[@debraberg2018]

Excellent info!! Any tips for frozen shoulder? I am seeing a physiotherapist for a neck injury which is improving but this shoulder is taking forever. Advised against cortisone shots. It’s been 7 months so far with range of motion slowly improving. I have read it is just a matter of time to heal and could last for up to 3 years 😢. I love your workouts and try my best. Any tips greatly appreciated.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

That's a great question to ask for a future Ask PJ episode! The link to ask is in the description.

[@CarolineWalker-q4t]

Can you include a link to the finger band/strengthener?

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You'll find a link in the video description 😊

I’ve heard castor oil packs are beneficial for reducing the inflammation. What’s your take on this. Great vid by the way. Great tips

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I'd need to look into that 🤔

[@mohitmishra996]

Wow this is gem

[@sherrysmith4477]

Thank you PJ! Tennis elbow is an issue I'm seeing a physio therapist for right now. Appreciate your help thru this issue. The next on my list is Urinary incontinence. Is there exercises that will help as we age? If so what are they? I find a lot of confusion out there around this issue. Is incontinence hereditary? Do Kegal exercises help or hurt? Do Kegal weights work? What are some other exercises that will keep us out of Depends and in our yoga pants for as long as possible.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You can ask those by hitting the link in the description for Ask PJ Anything. 👊

[@stiofaininnichlerigh8168]

Question for you PJ I know you put these exercises in one of your workouts......that I know of but why not put them in more often like putting ab work in the challenge But I will be getting the elastic band out I could do with that exercise for my fingers because I type alot O and heads up I have my daughter at physio at the moment and they suggested to me if your fingers get tired from writing typing etc to get play dough like what kids play with get a small peace and put it in between your fingers and squeeze.....no joke it is hard Thank YOU PJ Steph 🇮🇪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great tips Steph! I try to keep all suggestions in the mix 🥰

Thanks for these tips! I seem to have got tennis elbow from dragging a carry-on suitcase behind me. :( Is there a particular kind of brace/clasp that you have found helpful?

How about Golfers elbow? I’ve had it for nearly 1.5 years and it’s ruining my workouts. Everything I’ve tried hasn’t worked

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Many of the same tips apply for Golfers elbow. I hope you have checked in with your physiotherapist! 😀

[@MorleySobo]

Actually, you can absolutely have a sudden injury that causes acute, severe tennis elbow. On January 16, 2024, I was pouring a very heavy pot of boiling water onto my fresh coffee grounds when all of a sudden a jolt went from what felt like my wrist to my elbow. It was so excruciating that I screamed and dropped the pot of boiling water - thank God on the stove top and not on my foot. I have been suffering ever since. I am a freestyle lap swimmer and have not gotten in the pool since this has happened. I was told it will take at least a year to heal! I’ve been in physical therapy and I’ve had cortisone injections. Believe it or not my elbow has started to feel a little bit better. And I don’t know why but stupidly I pulled on a pair of tight leggings today! And wouldn’t you know it? I completely exacerbated my elbow! I’ve been icing it almost all evening and night! I want to let you know that I am so enjoying your video thus far, but had to stop to let you know about acute tennis elbow. I look forward to resuming this video. Thank you so much for your time.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh jeez that sounds horrible!! And yes, thank goodness you didn’t drop the water on your foot!! Take care and it took me a year to heal and I still do my rehab exercises a couple of times a week (especially trigger point therapy using a lacrosse ball) to ensure I don’t get it again. Wishing you well. 💕

[@MorleySobo]

OMG, you are such a doll for replying! Thank you for your encouragement and I cannot believe that even for you, tennis elbow took a year to heal. I guess they’re not lying when they tell us this!

No, it's a lot deeper than acupuncture and the needle doesn't stay in.

I think there are natural treatments that are effective. That allopathic route is expensive and, per your experience, iffy. Allopathic medicine is a last choice for me.

Good luck!

@@FitnesswithPJ I bought a TRX Laser that is helping. It's very low level. Have you looked into laser? They stimulate local ATP production. Chiropractors typically have stronger ones in their offices.
