I can understand his/her aversion to physio sessions which are pretty costly and don’t seem to work in some cases, but something that doesn’t require a lot of effort? I don’t know about that. I would say a moderate amount of effort is needed to overcome your tennis elbow condition.
If a natural and cost-effective solution is what you’re looking for, then I would strongly recommend that you take a look at the guidebook below which is in pdf format.
This pdf guidebook contains strictly natural ways to treat tennis elbow. You’ll find easy to follow lessons and demos on how to perform various tennis elbow prevention exercises, recovery principles, a page containing links to full motion videos prepared to assist you in getting your elbow back in shape, and more.
Performing the right exercises is critical because they can actually keep the problem from coming back. Of course, you should only perform the exercises after the pain in your elbow has subsided. Certain natural cures for tennis elbow are known to get rid of the pain significantly within 48 hours.
Now, if the pain doesn’t go away within that time period, then you better pay the doctor a visit because who knows, you might be suffering from a broken bone!
Okay, one of the cures I’m referring to involve the use of ice for the purpose of reducing inflammation. Some tennis elbow sufferers do not use ice when inflammation pops up and that’s not good thing. I used to do this too. Instead of using ice, I use my other hand to apply pressure to the pain area. That didn’t work much. The guidebook taught me to use an ice pack which I had to wrap in a small towel and placed directly onto the pain area.
The compression with ice helped enormously. Oh, the feeling was just wonderful! But you have to be careful though. The ice application must not be done for more than 30 minutes at a time, or you run the risk of ruining your body tissues. Ten to twenty minutes at a time and you’re set.
And be sure to use either an ice pack or wrap several ice cubes in a small towel, then apply onto your skin. Do not apply the ice cubes directly to your skin, unless you enjoy getting frostbite! It’s been known to happen to some folks so be careful.
Specific workouts that do not require fancy exercise equipments can also be regarded as natural cures for tennis elbow. Take the following exercise for example, which is so easy to do and you only need a hammer to perform it.
Sit in a chair with an armrest, with a hammer in hand, rotate it slowly to the left and right. Palm up and then palm down. Beginners should start with hand grip close to the head of the hammer. Once you get used to the movement, shift your hand further away from the handle to increase resistance.
