I Cured My Tennis Elbow

Tweet

I have had tennis elbow in both arms back and forth for years. I went to physiotherapy twice but could only stay for as long as the insurance company paid ($500). There I received ultrasound treatment and acupuncture. After that I just stopped going. If the tennis elbow was going to come back, what's the point. Recently my left arm was flaring badly. I was wrapping warm bean bags around it, taking pain killers, using a brace/wrap. When it's not flaring the tender spot on the elbow hurts to touch - both elbows. I posted awhile back that I had searched online for exercises and yoga for fibromyalgia and that I had picked a couple of upper body exercises to do while walking on the treadmill. I just realized that neither of my elbows hurt anymore, not even to touch. I don't know which exercises have helped but I do 3, one of which is for the shoulder so I can discount that one... and my shoulder still bothers me. So, one or both of these have cured my tennis elbow - shadow boxing: right punch, left punch, right hook, left hook x 25, 4 times during my hour on the treadmill. The other is a yoga exercise positioning the hands in a prayer position and using pressure in pushing your hands together. While holding the hands in that position do a circular rotation 20 times, then in the reverse direction 20 times. I also do this 4 times during my hour work-out. I don't know which one of these has cured the tennis elbow, maybe a combination of both. I thought this was worth sharing.
