Tennis Elbow | Osteopathy

👇 Shown here are some treatment techniques and rehabilitation exercises that we find helpful with treating Tennis Elbow 👇

1️⃣ Resisted forearm pronation: Hold the band taut in your hands. The band should wrap around the back of your hand, and around the outside to your palm. Turn your affected hand so your palm faces the floor, stretching the band. Control the movement as you turn your palm to face the ceiling again.

2️⃣ Resisted forearm supination: Hold a resistance band taut in your hands. Turn your affected hand so your palm faces the ceiling, stretching the band. Control the movement as you return your palm to face the floor again.

3️⃣ Active supination/pronation with dumbbell: Hold a dumbbell in your hand and out over the edge of the table. Rotate the palm of your hand so it turns up and down, controlling the momentum and rotation of the dumbbell.

4️⃣ Eccentric wrist extension with weight: Start with holding a weight in your hand with your palm facing downwards. Using the other hand, lift your wrist up, keeping your forearm in contact with the table. Remove your other hand and then slowly lower your raised hand back down without support. Relax and repeat.

✅ Try 1-2 sets of 10-15 reps aiming to build up to 20 reps. Use a light theraband and light weight to start with.

😡 If you have elbow pain or think you have tennis elbow symptoms, we recommend you consult with your Osteopath or health professional to find out the “do’s and don’ts” depending on the severity of your injury as there is no ‘one size fits all’ with treatment plans.

Tom is a qualified Osteopath and Dry needling practitioner and is also a Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach. Tom has also completed further studies in optimal movement patterns with the FMS (Functional Movement Systems).Tom believes it is important to address the immediate issues causing pain, however feels it is equally important to improve his patient’s ongoing movement, tissue quality, muscle activation and muscle strength in order to optimize injury recovery and reduce the chance of re-aggravation. Since Tom graduated as an Osteopath he has had the opportunity to work both in Queensland and Victoria within private practice and has worked closely with sporting teams.

Such techniques include mobilization, soft tissue massage, stretching, trigger point therapy, dry needling and exercise rehabilitation. Although Tom enjoys treating athletes, he also thrives on the sense of enjoyment that comes with helping his patients of all ages with many other injuries. Tom also has experience in treating headaches, back and neck pain, hip, knee and ankle injuries and shoulder and elbow pain. Here at Valued Health Osteopathy Tom will use his Osteopathic experience, coupled with his further training to assess, diagnose, rehabilitate and treat in order to get you moving better with less pain.
