Isometric exercises for tennis elbow can help relieve elbow pain, improve strength, and speed your recovery from this painful condition. I'll show you how to perform isometric wrist extension with a dumbbell, Theraband Flexbar, and round band. Patients don't need to perform all of them, but use the ones that seem to give the most pain relief and increases wrist strength. If you're having acute elbow pain in the outside (thumb side) of your elbow I recommend starting with these isometric elbow exercises. As your pain decreases and your strength improves, you can move on to eccentric exercises with the Theraband Flexbar or a Theraband flat resistance band. The last step should include concentric wrist extension exercises and sport/job-specific movements as tolerated.

Isometric exercises place resistance on your wrist/hand extensor muscles located on the lateral (outside) portion of your elbow. The muscles will contract, but there will be no shortening or lengthening of the muscles or joint movement with them. If you're rehabbing your elbow for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) from the ground up, this is the first step in the rehab process. Make sure you check out the video links at the end to see the next steps, eccentric tennis elbow exercises with the Theraband Flexbar.

The rehab tool I'm using here is the Theraband Flexbar. I like the green one, it gives a challenging resistance for most people, but not too challenging that it aggravates your elbow too much.
