Do you have elbow tendinitis and pain at your medial epicondyle or lateral epicondyle? This brief but thorough overview of elbow tendinitis background, tests and treatment can help you understand this injury and improve your recovery. We constantly use our elbows when rock climbing, golf, tennis and other sports, and the balance of breakdown/recovery can be thrown off with too much volume, intensity or changes to your program. Once started, the process of tissue breakdown can be hard to reverse without help.

There are many medical treatments but exercise and movement at the right dosage and frequency (the correct loading response) is by far the best and most effective strategy.

This video contains the following sections:
0:32 Intro
0:44 Key Concepts
5:38 The Elbow Tendinitis Tests
6:39 Keys to Treatment
7:14 Flexbar Exercises
8:18 Progressing to DeadHangs

I never knew I was supposed to do exercises to help! I always tried resting my arm as much as possible. Thank you for having a video that is short, informative and to the point!!!!!

You're the first person to talk about how gripping can contribute to elbow tendonitis! I do lindy hop and the hand position for my connection hand is similar to that of a climbers. And our hands are the epicenter of all of the nice rubber band effect from the dance style. So I think my repetitive computer work set the stage, and a particularly rigorous dance class tipped me over the edge. Thank you for such enlightening videos!

Thanks for this! My left elbow has been the limiter on my bouldering sesions since the start. I was worried that I might be damaging myself by trying too much too fast since I'm not naturally very athletic. The elbow pain starts up pretty quickly and can get fairly intense for a few hours after. (Deep electric nerve pain) but it's never persisted more than a day or so. Good to know it's just the 'pain' part of gains.

I am excited to try this. I am not a climber but came here anyway. I think painting may have messed my elbow up unless computer mouse just all of a sudden irritated me. Than you for these solid exercises that I can do.
