Exercise to Heal Tennis Elbow

Buy a ribbed, pliable, eight-inch-long rubber bar, such as Thera-Band FlexBar — commonly sold for general physical therapy for less than $20 online (www.Thera-Band.com). Hold the bar upright at your side, using the hand on the same side as your sore elbow. Grasp the bar near the top with your hand on the uninjured side. Twist the top hand while bringing the bar in front of your body to hold it parallel to the ground. Then use the hand on the sore side to untwist the bar slowly by flexing your wrist. Start with three sets of five repetitions per day, adding more as the exercise gets easier, up to three sets of 15 repetitions daily.
