If you've Googled "best exercises for tennis elbow," you've probably seen a dozen conflicting lists. Here's what our doctors actually give patients — and, just as importantly, what we tell them to stop doing.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is an overuse tendon issue on the outside of the elbow. Most cases resolve without injections or surgery.
Rule #1: Move the Stiff Joints, Stabilize the Loose Ones
