WHAT IS TENNIS ELBOW?
Lateral epicondylitis (“tennis elbow”) is a common overuse injury that causes elbow pain on the outside part of your elbow. Most of the muscles that extend your wrist and fingers originate on this spot on your elbow (the “lateral epicondyle”). Overuse of the hand, wrist, and forearm can cause damage in the common tendon of these muscles which results in pain.
WHAT CAUSES TENNIS ELBOW?
As it’s name implies, tennis elbow is caused by repetitive overuse of your forearm muscles (originally encountered in tennis players hitting a “backhand” over and over again). However, in my career I can honestly think of only two people I’ve ever treated who got “tennis elbow” from playing tennis.
Most often, lateral epicondylitis pain is caused by simple, repetitive, overuse activities in the hand, wrist, and forearm such as typing, mechanical work, and even weight lifting.
BEST TREATMENT FOR TENNIS ELBOW PAIN
The key to effectively treating tennis elbow pain is to do things to eliminate the symptoms (help it feel better now) and treat the cause (help it to feel better later). The best way to eliminate symptoms is through anti-inflammatory measures and the best way to treat the tendon damage is massage, stretching, and the right strength training. All will be presented for you in this video!

I can’t straighten my elbow. It’s hurts too bad.

[@YEMSG]

Are these stretches and exercises good for pain that is/was in the elbow "pit"?

[@jenifferwidner8231]

Thank u

[@ozarkbunnyboy]

How often do you recommend doing these exercises? (i.e. how many days/week?)

[@hillaryHulteen]

Love this!!! I have golfers elbow in both arms- this was so helpful ❤❤❤❤

[@ajbischoff4086]

Thank a lot. I have done some of the things you recommended but not enough.

[@mindymay3]

This looks excellent, thank you! I'll be starting this tomorrow. I have seven years of lateral epicondylitis on the right side and it's just starting on the left.

[@bdwwellbeinghealth]

nice sharing and you are very clear in your explanation

[@toneandtighten]

Thank you very much!

[@khairunissapasupuleti9112]

Very helpful video Jared. I have been following Jared s videos for my sciatica, back pain videos since past 5 years. Any flare ups, i come back and problems start resolving and feel strengthed in few weeks. Now i had elbow pain, i m here again. After agonising pain, already feeling better in 3 days. Thanks Jared.

[@KeyboardThumper]

Suffering from this for over 1 year and just beginning to realize what it might be, initially caused by hyperextending the elbow in a weight-bearing exercise performed at speed. Quite by chance a couple of these vids started popping up (prolly mentioned it on an Android phone or something) and your diagnosis (after the press the middle finger thing) was spot on. Followed at video speed with the exercises - most of which I've seen before but not really bothered with in a bodybuilding/fitness context) and alraeady it feeels better, or at least, I am absolutely certain following the mini-regime detailed here I should be able to heal it up. So, many many thanks to you for this brilliantly concise video, I really hope you can address some other common ailments on here, how about a 5-minute arthritis routine for older people, or better still, given their antipathy to new-fangled ideas, a 1-minute arthritis routine for pensioners. Like PLEASE. And again, thanks.

[@Garage-1881]

Drummer here, looking forward to trying these out. My left elbow has been giving me issue for about 3 months now.

[@williampryor3856]

I found your channel a few months ago looking for general flexibility routines ( love the 8 minute stretch video!). Then I saw the teaser for this one, a week or so before I have a medical appointment about elbow pain, with the red area right where my pain is. This is definitely the problem! Looking forward to following these recommendations. Appreciate all your very helpful videos!

[@toneandtighten]

I hope you find it helpful!

[@Tee-PayneGolf]

Golfer here. Thank you. The struggle is real.

Totally works, love his advice! The graston technique works really well. A few weeks, you'll be all better.

[@toneandtighten]

Happy to help!

[@deeptidubey3131]

Thank you so much. I have been doing some of these, but the ice pack and massage and butter knife trick is wonderful. Also none of the doctors told me about taking care for the palm and wrist muscle. I will keep doing this, i hope my tilted elbow will be better in some more weeks. Thank you!

[@toneandtighten]

You bet!

[@Reizermo]

Did each of those exercises as I went through the video. Can definitely feel the work in the arm. Very thorough video. Much appreciated. It's a really strange injury. Hopefully these exercises do the trick.

[@toneandtighten]

Great to hear this is helping and thanks for sharing!

I have tennis elbow for 6 months now. I’ll start doing. What this video says, how long should I do it for before I re join the gym ?

[@abione85]

Thank you this video was very very helpful

[@krishnanprabhu]

Thanks! Doc. I swear by your IT band exercises, now working my tennis elbow pain. 😅

[@toneandtighten]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!

[@ER_aka_RAM]

Very grateful, and appreciative, for your insight and proactive tips on self care for Lateral Epicondylitis. You’ve provided more information than a single PT session! Do you recommended wearing a short wrist brace to isolate the flexors while using the arm?

[@fabykhan9481]

Sur today was my Match for Tug o war and i was having a lot of pain and your video popped up when I sesrched for this pain and myself too Am a MBBS student your way of doing helped me with my pain thank you so much sir … lots of love ♥️

You are so welcome! I am glad this was helpful!

I had acupuncture 30 years ago and thank god I have never experienced tennis elbow since. Years of pain and a few acupuncture needles and in 30 minutes healed my pain I had suffered for 10 years

[@toneandtighten]

Amazing, Jennifer! I’m so glad you found something that worked so effectively for you. Thanks so much for commenting!

[@insaneone86]

How do strategically placed needles resolve tennis elbow!?!? I tweaked mine in the gym bout 4 or 5 weeks ago and still hasn't gone away...need to get back on the WEIGHTS!!! 💯🤔😂✌️

[@zbyszek511]

7 months ago I had EPTE® Percutaneous Electrolysis Therapy (a revolutionary technique used to treat various skeletal muscle dysfunctions). After six electrolysis sessions I do excentric exercises every 72 hours with a flex bar (Tyler twist exercise) and self massage. Pain decreased much in my chronic tennis elbow.

[@Conley-dy8qk]

Thank you for the clear & concise explanation of stretches& diagnosing of this condition. I’m glad to stumble upon this video bc I’ve been dealing with this condition seemingly out of the blue for a couple months & it doesn’t seem to be getting better. Definitely felt The middle finger pull.. One question- are these exercises intended to be done when there’s still a lot of pain? I try not to use my arm to allow it to heal..but as soon as I use it to lift something as light as a glass bottle, the pain intensifies again. The exercises & stretches in this video don’t really provide relief, my elbow/outer forearm were sore afterwards. Is this an indicator I should refrain, or keep going gently until it starts to improve? I’m concerned about creating further issues rather than healing. Thanks!

[@NJT1013]

I paint homes and play disc golf. I've been painting for 20 years and playing DG for about 5. This is going to really help me. Thanks! My elbow has been killing me for the past month or so.

[@toneandtighten]

Oh man! Painting AND disc golf is a perfect recipe for tennis elbow. Hope the things in this video help you!

[@nilmalabanan]

Appreciate this information very much. My question is do your resisting exercises in all these sequences? My elbow and forearm are always in a lot of pain

[@DescartesDooley]

So, this is for those of you that are experiencing long term pain that is seemingly chronic. Its been 6 months for me. I had tried both rest and physio exercises, and a combination of both. I had days of relief, but in general, the issues were ongoing. Then, I discovered the Athlean X kettle bell routine for tennis elbow. This was the beginning of realization. The kettle routine was giving me relief but not permanent. I did start to notice that when this routine popped my elbow joints, I would get almost instant relief, but with residual tenderness at the tendon. To be expected I suppose for a tendon under constant strain. So, I remembered I had seen one or two vids that suggested some Tennis elbow is actually a fruit of joint dysfunction and misalignment. I went back and sought out more vids on this issue, and came up with a couple of exercises/movements that are designed to pop the joint back into alignment. Guess what, I went from having a day of pain and restricted motion to near instant relief. So, for me at least it seems my joint is out of whack. This makes sense for me. I was aggressively chopping wood when I triggered my Tennis elbow. So, for me at least, it seems I need to focus on alignment and also strengthening the arm muscles. This goes for the shoulder too. I'm taking a holistic approach to building my arm back up. Good luck. UPDATE: 4 months after posting this comment I am more or less back to normal feeling and function with my elbow. It does want to slip out of alignment from time to time, but a simple pop stretch movement usually sets things back. I have been in good shape for quite a while. Initially I was doing popping and stretching several times a day for the first few weeks before my elbow was comfortable being back in alignment . I will continue to pop and build back muscle strength as needed.

[@ajlecour1157]

Thank you, for your input! I’ll be doing the same approach

[@jorgeb4585]

This is great. Can you share those exercises you useu to pop the joint back into alignment?

[@slurmsworth]

How do you differentiate this versus radial tunnel syndrome?

[@indosfinest]

Thank you! I googled everything that was wrong with my right arm which is mostly overused. Now I found the culprit.

[@toneandtighten]

So glad you found this helpful and thank you!

[@cheminnonpris]

Hi, is is good also for calcification in elbow?many thanks

[@theknightsoldier]

Sir can you make a video on carry angle elbows and exercise to correct it.

[@knightofsg]

I'm back :) Can it be possible that after my fall and carpal syndrome, I have pain in my right tennis elbow? I'm doing further exercises hoping the pain goes away 'cause even when I pick a coffee mug it hurts! Thanks once again! - Vince

[@MikeNavarrete-rg4zl]

Can I use these movements if I had surgery about a month ago I am doing physical therapy 3 times a week and we just started to do some exercises

[@Frank020]

Hi , I like your videos they get straight to the exercises, so I can replay. This helped a lot. I still feel a sharp pain on that bone that sticks out above the elbow, when a person has it bent at 45 degrees. It seems to be right on the corner, but maybe it is not. I'm thinking it may be nerve pain. radicuneuropathy, spelling is incorrect, which I have some that can get more or less severe at times, emanating from the neck/spine. I did your traction on those with the towel: That is the best one for me.

[@toneandtighten]

I am so glad this video was helpful for you and thanks for sharing!

[@jeremiahh5500]

Try stretching it it’s worked for me big time

[@zeeshankeval]

Hi I came across this video and I am really hoping that my injury gets treated with this routine. Just have some queries before I start. Can someone help me with this please. 1. Do we need to wait for the pain to subside and then start with the Stretching and Muscle Building exercises? 2. Till when we need to do these exercises? I mean to say for how many days?

[@Karine-qy2xh]

I have been doing them for 1 week and it helps, but I need to do them more often and reduce my activities . For the eccentric, if it cracks, should I still do them ? If doing a task does not hurt but uses fingers like writing on a computer, we can still do it ?? Thank you

[@evangelosn.4706]

Hello, is this better than the other video you have with the exercises? I have it for at least 9 months now and I am trying to find ways to fix it!

[@HithisisDevin]

Just wondering, would a gyro ball also help tennis elbow pain?

[@1wendywonder]

This is great advice. In what order should these exercises be done? Meaning, should I get the pain under control before I do either the stretching or the strengthening? Or can I do all of these treatments in the same session, strengthening, and stretching? Or just start with stretching until the pain subsides ?

[@susanlicher6728]

I was wondering the same thing

[@mikej3888]

@@susanlicher6728 - He said in a reply below that don't have to be pain free when starting your strengthening exercises. I suppose you should only strengthen if your pain is at a minimum, which is a judgment call, of course.

[@OGSuperDirty]

First exercise started helping it feel better. Thx

[@toneandtighten]

Great to hear!

[@peterjohnson8935]

You didn't look at the kinetic chain that commonly causes this issue. Shoulder girdle function/stability is important as is hip function.

[@143angeli]

Thanks for this doc! I have a question, do we start the exercises right away or wait til the inflammation has gone down with NSAIDs and rest before starting the exercises? Thank you!

[@toneandtighten]

You can start them right away if it doesn't cause too much pain.

[@mhamrahi]

Do we have to do all this in one shot? Or it's after it's showing signs of healing? I don't want to put pressure on it if elbow tendons are supposed to get some rest, it may make it worse if not done correctly

[@Matt19873]

This is insane literally talking to my wife about my elbow on Monday 😂thanks

I got Tennis Elbow from doing to much specific stregth training targeting the extensors. Doing those recommended stegthening exercises is now really painfull. It doesn't seem to be the right way to go about this.

[@TerryCristopher]

Use the braces on my knees and elbows, I find it changes my natural movement, I don’t have a sharp pain, dull pain, not bad, I wonder if 50 reps in 3 days is better then 15 reps every day?

[@toneandtighten]

The goal is to find your tolerance level and make that your starting point. Then we progress from there. Hope you feel better!

[@bluemoomelon]

I have been feeling elbow pain for a while and it greatly matches the symptoms of tennis elbow but I didn't get it from doing something straining like manual labor or exercise, i got it from sleeping for many hours with my arm bent in the same position the whole time. Could something like that trigger Tennis Elbow too? :(

[@giomazz]

should i wait till completely pain free before starting strengthening routines?

[@toneandtighten]

No, you can start now!

[@giomazz]

Awesome…. thank you for that…. and all your videos, so grateful for your help

Will this pain eventually heal and go away if I don't do any exercises or stretches?

[@adamgardner2244]

Probably not if it's bad enough. I had it in both elbows years ago for well over a year. I finally went to physio and it eventually went away. I have it back in both arms again unfortunately.

[@KeyboardThumper]

Probably not, you will have a susceptbility to this sort of injury in the future...just do the exercises a little bit to start. The benefits will motivate you to follow the full 5-minutes (!)

sorry, doesn't stop the cause. need to strenghthen the shoulder posterior muscles which are not strong enough to control the deceleration motion of the arm in raquet sports or throwing, so the lateral elbow over works. strenghten the shoulder properly and the pain leaves

That is absolutely the prescription if the primary cause of the dysfunction is due to racquet sports and throwing. Thanks for commenting!
