Repetitive stress injuries are not pleasant, especially those that might be work-related. Fortunately, as with many other things in life, our actions can prevent pain and promote healing. That is certainly the case for relief from Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow).
The suggested home exercises from the Orthopedic Center of Illinois are simple, easy, and effective. My nephew told me about number three on the list. He is a nurse anesthetist, and shared it with one of the surgeons he works with. She used it with great success!
Place a rubber band around all five finger tips. Spread
fingers 25 times, repeat 3 times. If resistance is not
enough, add a second rubber band or use a rubber
band of greater thickness which will provide more
resistance.
Here is the link to the PDF handout of the complete list of home exercises: https://www.orthocenterillinois.com/pdfs/Tennis-Elbow.pdf.
This week, share the information with everyone you know. We all know folks who have suffered needlessly. Remember, if something seems difficult or impossible, look again. Everything is more easily addressed than might first be assumed.
