hey nice video.
but just a couple of things.
if the pain is on the inside of the elbow then thats actually golfers elbow.
and icing should be done for around 10 minutes or untill the area is completely numb.
it should be done after playing, because tennis elbow brings inflamation of the tendon, so the ice therapy helps reduce inflamation and reduces the pain after playing.

thanks for the comments, few things I’ll add: 1) the video is for tennis elbow, not golfers elbow.
2) Tennis elbow isn’t limited to tennis players or golfers.
3) Ice should be applied throughout the day, not just after a workout or tennis match.

my elbow makes crunching sounds when i lift stuff, especially when i do curls( which ive stopped completely!) and it hurts, my doctor told me to leave it coz any sort of treatment or therapy would more than likely aggravate it, just wondering if you know what it could be? thanks.

Hi Todd
I just saw your videos & I was wondering my son is 11 yrs. old & he plays baseball & has a cannon for an arm at such a young age. My son played in a tournament last week he is a catcher & outfielder he complained his elbow was hurting after the game & he went to the Dr. had an MRI & X-ray he has inner tendonitis do these stretching & stick excercises work for baseball players the Dr. said he has tennis elbow. Thanks Todd U ROCK!!!!!!!! Mando

If the doctor can’t tell you, maybe try a new doctor until you find a better one. I get pain when I lift things, and feel like I am about to drop them, and the doctor says it’s tennis elbow.
Try an osteopath, they will be careful, and maybe the bones are just misaligned. Or a physiotherapist, and try not to lift too much, or overexercise it.
Ice should help too for the pain.

if it hurts on the outside it’s tennis elbow (lateral epicodilitys) inside it’s golfers elbow (medial) I am a fellow weight lifter with the same problem man in both arms…It’s breaking me right down… you got to take off man just like me…

Here’s a handy hint for icing, especially those spots that need it a lot. Freeze water in a styrofoam cup, then just peel off enough to expose for icing. As the ice melts, peel off a bit more. Your fingers holding the ice won’t freeze that way.

Thanks for the useful videos and I am going to try the exercises. I have already started some of them. A great tip I worked out myself for icing the elbow is to use an elasticated frozen wine bottle cooler sleeve on the elbow. Left for 20 or so minutes till it thaws works great on the elbow then back into the freezer for later. No mess and no drips.
