Tennis elbow

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow. Exercises can help alleviate symptoms and improve mobility. Here are some exercises to help with tennis elbow:

1. *Wrist Extensions*: Hold a light weight or resistance band and lift your hand up, keeping your wrist straight.
2. *Wrist Flexions*: Hold a light weight or resistance band and bend your wrist down, keeping your hand straight.
3. *Forearm Rotations*: Hold a light weight or resistance band and rotate your forearm in a circular motion, first clockwise and then counterclockwise.
4. *Elbow Extensions*: Hold a light weight or resistance band and lift your arm straight out behind you, keeping your elbow straight.
5. *Tennis Elbow Stretch*: Hold your arm straight out in front of you and bend your wrist down, stretching the outside of your elbow.
6. *Eccentric Wrist Extension*: Hold a light weight or resistance band and lift your hand up, then slowly lower it down, keeping your wrist straight.
7. *Concentric Wrist Flexion*: Hold a light weight or resistance band and bend your wrist down, then slowly lift it up, keeping your hand straight.
8. *Wrist Radial Deviation*: Hold a light weight or resistance band and move your wrist in a radial direction (toward your thumb).
9. *Wrist Ulnar Deviation*: Hold a light weight or resistance band and move your wrist in an ulnar direction (toward your pinky finger).
10. *Elbow Mobilization*: Move your elbow through its range of motion, flexing, extending, and rotating it.
