Overview
Follow instructions from your physical therapist or other health professional for stretching and strengthening exercises.
Stretching exercises are controlled stretches that help prevent tennis elbow stiffness and tendon shortening. They help you gently bend, straighten, and rotate your wrist. If you have increasing pain, slow down or stop the exercises.
After the pain has decreased and your flexibility has improved, you may do strengthening exercises with light hand weights that are less than 2 lb (0.9 kg). Weights can be increased slowly over time.
