What specific exercises or stretches are recommended for elbow pain relief?

Exercises and Stretches for Elbow Pain Relief:

Wrist Flexor Stretch:
Extend your arm straight in front of you, palm facing down. Use your opposite hand to gently press the fingers downward, stretching the wrist flexor muscles. Hold for 15-30 seconds.

Wrist Extensor Stretch:
Extend your arm with the palm facing up. Use the opposite hand to gently press the fingers downward, stretching the wrist extensor muscles. Hold for 15-30 seconds.

Towel Twist:
Hold a towel behind your back with one hand reaching over the shoulder and the other hand behind your back. Gently pull the bottom hand upward and the top hand downward, creating a stretch in the shoulder and upper arm.

Wrist Flexor and Extensor Strengthening:
Use a light resistance band for wrist curls (flexion) and wrist extensions to strengthen the muscles around the elbow. Perform 2 sets of 10-15 repetitions for each exercise.

Ball Squeeze Exercise:
Hold a stress ball or a soft rubber ball in your hand. Squeeze and release the ball repeatedly to strengthen the muscles in the forearm.

Perform these exercises and stretches regularly, gradually increasing intensity as your comfort level allows. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
