Climbers Do You Have Elbow Tendinitis? Learn These Quick Tests and Keys to Treatment
Do you have elbow tendinitis and pain at your medial epicondyle or lateral epicondyle? This brief but thorough overview of elbow tendinitis background, tests and treatment can help you understand this injury and improve your recovery. We constantly use our elbows when rock climbing, golf, tennis and other sports, and the balance of breakdown/recovery can be thrown off with too much volume, intensity or changes to your program. Once started, the process of tissue breakdown can be hard to reverse without help.
There are many medical treatments but exercise and movement at the right dosage and frequency (the correct loading response) is by far the best and most effective strategy.

Do you have any advice if the flexbar starts hurting the forearm.
I've had tennis elbow for over a month, I started with the red flexbar and the top of my forearm muscle started swelling and hurting.
Should I downgrade to a yellow bar or just do isometrics?
My elbow doesn't hurt much in daily life but I don't want to make it worse
Super helpful video! Was having this elbow problem 3 sessions ago and this is the exact video I'm looking for. Thank you so much, Berk!
My elbow starts hurting once I start climbing, the pain can get pretty severe at the start of the session and then it subsides. An hour or so after the session my elbow feels completely normal again. What should I do?
Very helpful in my case
Thanks bro, the information in this video was definitely helpful!
Great video, thank you very much
Thanks for this. I'm wondering how long I should wait to get back on the wall — I only felt the pain with the last test, the palpation
I have more a feeling of puffiness in my elbow and very mild pain and slight discomfort when climbing is thus tendinitis?
Thank you so much for this beautifully informative video, brother.
Didn't know about the wrist stabilizer. I have one and will use it while ditching the arm band. Also just got a gyro ball. What is your opinion on them? Tx.
Thank you so much for your video.
Really helpful.
Few doubts-
1. Should we do icing or heating during rehab ?
2. Should we do these activities once a day or twice? (Morning n evening both?)
Please guide.
Thank you in anticipation.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks, very informative. I noted that there are different resistant levels of Flexbars. I am not a climber. Do you think a non climber would do fine with just exercising with the lowest resistance of Flexbar?
I never knew I was supposed to do exercises to help! I always tried resting my arm as much as possible. Thank you for having a video that is short, informative and to the point!!!!!
At 1.75x speed it's a good video, thanks
I am excited to try this. I am not a climber but came here anyway. I think painting may have messed my elbow up unless computer mouse just all of a sudden irritated me. Than you for these solid exercises that I can do.
Great vid .just a quick question.can I still climb with bad arms during my recovery I only go once a week
Hi I was injured during weight training a week ago I felt pain in my inner elbow and also trained two days later until I saw that it did not pass..how many days of rest should I take? And can I go back to lifting weights gradually after a few days of rest? .. I am stressed and would be very happy if you answer me.
yours Nadav
Had this problem for 5 months now, will try these
I have never used a flex bar and do not know what color (degree of stiffness) to get! I do have a strong history with isometric exercise, if that matters.
