Exercises for the elbow

Elbow conditions such as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow are best treated with exercises. These exercises make the muscles and tendons stronger, which reduces pain.

Elbow complaints

Elbow pain is usually the result of (long-term) overuse. The muscles and tendons are then constantly under tension, which they do not tolerate well. These muscles are designed to contract and then relax again. By doing the right elbow exercises, blood flow improves, the muscles relax, and they become stronger.
