Tennis Exercises
Exercises for Tennis Elbow
Wrist Curls
Place your forearm on a table or your lap and hold a weight with your hand hanging over the edge, palm down. Slowly lift and lower the weight, keeping your forearm still of the movement should occur at your wrist, not your elbow. Do 20-30 reps and switch arms. Then repeat the exercise, this time with your palm facing up.
Wrist Stretch
Stand with one arm extended in front of you, palm up. Bend your wrist, pointing your fingers towards the floor. Use your opposite hand to gently bend the wrist more, feeling a moderate stretch along your forearm. Hold for 15 to 20 seconds and release. Repeat on the opposite side. Do the series 3-4 times, then repeat the exercise, this time with your palm facing down.
Seated Row
Sit on the floor with your legs in front of you and your knees slightly bent. Hold both ends of a resistance band that’s looped around your feet or a stable object. Sitting up tall with your abs tight, pull the ends of the band toward your torso, keeping your elbows close to your sides. Do 3 sets of 15 reps.
