‼️ Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis, or the newer, more accurate term, lateral epicondylalgia ) is irritation of the tendon on the outside of your elbow, usually from overuse of the wrist and forearm muscles. It’s common with gripping, lifting, typing, and repetitive wrist movements—not just tennis. 💯 The most effective treatment isn’t rest — it’s progressive loading. ⚡️Start light, stay consistent, and gradually increase tension over weeks. Benefits of Treating It With Exercise: ✔️ Heals the tendon instead of just masking pain ✔️ Improves load tolerance so daily tasks stop hurting ✔️ Strengthens wrist/forearm to prevent flare-ups ✔️ Restores grip strength ✔️ Shortens recovery time compared to passive rest alone
