Thank you so much Dr. Jo, your videos have helped me a lot recently!

[@DrVanNostrand01]

also, only ten reps on the last exercise or should we be doing 3x10?

[@AskDoctorJo]

It's probably best to start with a little bit and work your way up.

[@solidtron1965]

How do I avoid this? I'm new to tennis and I feel my elbow in pain after a few games 😓

[@stephandelaat]

The exercise at 4 minutes is painful, should it be painful or should I stop before the pain hits?

[@MendedFuzz]

Thanks so much. I can't believe how much these have helped and it's only been a few days. I have both lateral and medial epicondylitis and doing these every morning have improved these annoying injuries beyond what I expected.

WORKED LIKE MAGIC Absolutely stunned. For the past few years I was struggling to stay consistent at the gym. Every time I started to see progress my tennis elbow would act up and I would stop lifting. For the past week I did these exercises leisurely throughout my day and before I lifted, and it worked like MAGIC. My elbow pain has disappeared. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. JOE

I have been doing this tennis elbow video about five times a week since May of 2020 and it has TOTALLY CURED my elbow problem. Last Spring I injured my elbow lifting dumbbells with bad form (I was swinging them up not doing a controlled lift). Now I am fully back to doing my maximum dumbbell weight with no pain. Thanks Dr. Jo!

[@AskDoctorJo]

[@nwowolf4591]

I had a little pain in my elbow-wrist after playing tennis for the first time and I found this video, I must say- this doctor knows her stuff!!! This immediately made a difference and I felt relieved to see most of the discomfort go away.. I am blown away, thank you Doctor Jo!

[@charlespetit1872]

Very good videos. I suffered a stroke in April of 2022. I was wheel chair bound for while paralyzed on my left side. I am currently walking and about 85 percent and I am "fine tuning" my walk, fingers etc to pre stroke. These videos, although they may seem like simple movements of which they are, help the neurological strenghtening. It has helped with the muscle memory in my arm and elbow.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thanks. Good luck with your continued recovery.

[@janeacusar]

I have tissue tears on my elbow and i work as a nursing assistant. It gets worse when i go to work. Right now i am on leave of absence but i was told that recovery takes a long time and yes it does. Today is my follow up and the only improvement so far is i can now straighten my left elbow and lift like 8 lbs but still am in pain. Before i cannot straighten it at all and i cant even lift a can of soda. I needed more weeks off since my job demands me to use my arms in different positions for lifting. I hope he will give it to me as i do not want to cause more injury. Also found out that on both knees, my patellar tissues are deteriorating, no wonder i have a hard time standing up for too long without rest and my inner knee would hurt so much even when resting. So i hope he will take care of that as well and give me more weeks off to recover properly .

[@nancyhoijer8944]

Thank you. Two doctors and 12 months later, I finally know what's wrong and have a way to treat it. Stretches already working and I'm going to be sure to do them before and after work every day.

[@bruceross102]

Thanks, Dr. Jo and Super Bear (the dog made me watch - big dog fan!!!). Just started doing these it is very helpful. I am a pilot and had a bizzarre accident in the simulator. I was doing some training in the full motion simulator and I control the plane with my left hand on a joystick. They were showing me what the plane does when it is about to stall - called a stick shaker. If you don't respond to it, the stick will dive forward to save the plane. They said me ready (as they wanted me to experience it and hang on). WELL, I already had a weak elbow from moving garage junk the previous week. BUT when it dove forward I felt like it ripped off my arm. Something popped in the elbow and severe pain. I'll be flying again, but I'm starting physical therapy this week and my specialist is examing the MRI. So I will be following your videos so I can get back to flying as soon as possible. Say hi to Bear. I just lost my 15 yr old golden a month ago, :-(

You're welcome. Glad they have helped.

[@ptruscott2007]

Dr. Jo can I suggest a couple of videos that you might do in the future? I really loved the six minute tennis elbow video because it was BOTH an explanation and a demonstration. It was short enough that I could do it several times a week. How about a six minute complete knee workout. When I say "complete" I'm suggesting that we do the exercises along with you and you put a stopwatch showing the seconds in a corner of the screen. The other complete workout that I would value is a complete upper back workout. When I try swimming freestyle at my best speed I get an agonizing pain between the shoulder blades. I would love it if your videos could help with that. Keep up the great work! Many thanks.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thanks! Yes, I have several real-time videos for those. You can find them at: kzbin.info

[@Smuggler169]

I have it in both elbows. Great exercises and boy did I feel it! My right elbow is worse and the exercises brought tears to my eyes but a good pain. I’ll plow through and hopefully feel better as time goes. Using ice packs and Tylenol as well. I do a lot of manual labor and push ups for fitness. I’m assuming at age 48 it’s catching up with me. Just lifting a pan off the stove hurts. Thanks again.

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome.

[@miguelcardenas2413]

Did it work for you ?

[@Smuggler169]

@@miguelcardenas2413 yes it sure did! I had it worse in my right elbow. So I trained myself to use my computer mouse with my left hand. That has helped as well. I got a left-handed ergonomic mouse even though I am right-handed. My left elbow is completely fine, and my right elbow is fine. Just occasionally I have to stretch.

I'll try this. I started developing tendonitis at a job a few years ago where there as a lot of lifting. I changed jobs shortly after, and it was mostly gone until this year when it started acting up again while using a selfie stick. Strangely, I used the stick for a year with no issues, then recently it started to cause pain. I think these exercises plus using two hands to hold the stick as I have been should be a big improvement.

I’m not exactly sure what I’ve done to myself all I can think is I’ve caused inflammation in my elbow particularly on top part ever since I started curling heavier weights to build flexors & extensors. I stopped about year ago and have had intermittent pain episodes that will go away with Advil but come back by easily flaring up by certain motions. I’ll try these exercises to see if it will reduce. I try to be very careful not to flare it up because when I do get a flare up in pain and starts throbbing and sucks so bad!

While doing the warm up exercises, I believe it's the 3rd warm up set. When I rotate my palm down, a pop happens in my elbow. Every time I rotate my palm down this happens.
