Anyone ever used one to try and get rid of tennis elbow?
how did you get along with it?

Any other exercises that will help?

Climbers almost all suffer with tennis elbow from time to time, these have worked for me in the past:

I'm a climber and have used one for golfers elbow (opposite to tennis elbow). It did offer some help, but I solved the problem by taking up push ups which seems to be a better agnostic exercise.

Can't really see how it would work for tennis elbow.

Heh. I had to google it as I'm terrible with the correct term for things in general but I think you meant agonist.

But yeah, I had a physio recommend a pike press for my elbow issue. It was quite intense pain to start with, seemingly counterproductive, but I don't have even the slightest twinge anymore.

No experience of bands but the first thing I tried was some weird ball that you're supposed to squeeze, release and repeat. It did nothing for me.

I do push ups as a sort of prophylaxis but they don't solve the problem when I have it*, the forearm pronations in the link above work like a charm.

*usually on thw way back from Font.

Here you go, eccentric loading of the forearm extensors:

Yep that's the one. Ukclimbing has an article on different exercises to do with the bar, def one for tennis elbow.

See if you can find my post from a few weeks ago re-tennis elbow... Some good tips on there. I'm off to physio on Friday to try and resolve it or its game over for my climbing.... Friggin hurts.
