The Lifters Guide to Fixing Elbow Pain

Elbow injuries are often difficult to diagnose and treat. Many educated clinicians find that elbow injuries can be confusing and the treatment can be somewhat complicated. If you look at the research, elbow pain almost always ranks as one of the top injured joints amongst strength athletes like weightlifters and powerlifters. However, despite being so common, you can scour the internet and research journals for days and fail to find a consensus amongst medical and rehab professionals on the best approach to its management and treatment.
In today's video I'm going to show you a few steps I take when evaluating elbow pain and things you can do to help fix this injury.
Key points:
1) Don't look ONLY at the site of symptoms: the WHY behind elbow pain often lies at the wrist and/or shoulder complex.
2) Banded joint mobilizations can be helpful especially for lateral elbow pain.
3) Elbow position during squats can have a dramatic effect on the amount of load placed on the elbow.

Just wonderful, been searching for "compression brace for tennis elbow" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Eiyamilla Reputable Expediency - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a great exclusive product for discovering how to end your tennis elbow problem minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my brother in law got great success with it.

I wanted to comment to say that the stretch method for tennis elbow at the 8min mark worked IMMEDIATLY for me. My elbow would be bothersome even picking up a bottle of water if done in a certain way. After doing this I had 90-95% reduction in pain/irritation! Thanks to SU for the tip! This will be a pre-workout stretch for me since I'm in a Starting Strength 3x5 routine where squats/deadlifts/rows are very common motion and gripping is involved.

@115410055644 4 года назад

wow this video is amazing! it all add up now and all make perfect sense! I have been having trouble with all of them on my dominant side elbow, wrist, lats and of course: my technique going under the par and over extending my wrist to the point I can't perform more than few squats at a time because my elbow and whole hand will turn basically numb with tingling pain. I went before to a Chiropractor and made some x-rays to make sure that I don't have a pinched nerve or something and it was very useful because I corrected a slight forward/upwards rotated shoulder and it helped with pain. I did deep tissue massage and remember that may lats were way too stiff especially the same side mentioned. Finally as a goalkeeper of my small football team I remember now the many times I got my right wrist injured and kept getting hits only to ice it after the game! It all make sense now and it's amazing how each part affects the other! I will try all the instructions in this video and definitely follow up with the great content. Many thanks Dr 🙏🏻

@IanBillsFan 3 года назад

I get very sharp pain in this area not from gripping, but benching. Oddly enough, the only other time it happens is when I reach across and pull the Velcro strap on my left glove, with my right hand, when tightening before a tee shot. That motion, like Jeter Between pitches.... Military press, dead’s, no pain and can grip as hard as I want. Shoulder mobility pretty solid compared to your video and have done the tennis elbow/forearm work. Any ideas!?

@ryanbeasley6570 2 года назад

Very usefull thankyou. Im actually a tree surgeon searching through 'tennis elbow' videos for pain relief and tips. Banded joint mobilization...

Anyone having elbow pain should look up Starting Strength. They have a pretty iron clad procedure for elbow tendinitis.

@jabberwock14 3 года назад

@Isaac Barr yes that's it

@jabberwock14 3 года назад

@Isaac Barr It's a lot to explain in a YT comment. But it's based on the old trick of tending to horses called Pin Firing. Basically, you have a small scale injury that's not being paid attention to by your body. So you cause a large amount of inflammation to bring attention to the area, and the small injury is healed in the process. Their website has plenty more info.

@tomcarboni9234 3 месяца назад

I’ve had on and off medial side elbow pain in my right elbow the last few months. I think it’s because I do reverse grip bench press due to shoulder issues. After watching your video, I think the pain in my elbow is caused by my wrist being overextended and not neutral during the exercise causing stress on my elbow. How long does it usually take to recover from such elbow tendinitis? I’ve read it can take quite long and many adjustments may have to be made.

@RonnieJamesOsbourne Год назад

Great content. I've scoured YT and haven't found a solution for elbow pain (tip of the elbow) when doing "tricep" exercises... Primarily, when doing skull crushers or tricep extensions. The pain always occurs when I go to full extension/flexed position. I wonder if you can touch on that or do a video on this topic, as I know it plagues many. Thank you.

@jantelow Год назад

I have problems with pain on the back of my right elbow during exercises involving the triceps due to overloading with dumbbell triceps extension. I found this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Q-VrNGgM2U.html which matches my problem well. I have started to train dumbell overhead press and pushdown with rope with light weight and it seems to be helping slowly but surely. I will also try some of the other exercises in the video eventually. I have more faith in this training than all the good advice about massage, ice and other silly exercises that only relieve the pain for a short while.
