ELBOW PAIN Look After Your Elbows // School of Calisthenics

Do you have elbow pain from too many pull ups or muscle ups? Particularly the ring muscle up false grip and cause issues around the elbow, especially the inside (golfers elbow - medial epicondylitis) due to the shortening of the wrist flexors in the false grip position and the lengthening of the extensors. Rest will help and reducing the amount of gripping and pulling that caused it in the first place is necessary but before it gets to the point where you need to see the physio you can use exercises like this one to keep the muscles around the elbow balanced and pain free.
If the pain doesn't go away with rest and this exercise we always recommend getting seen by a physiotherapist.

woah let's chill with the intro music almost blew up my speakers

[@thehartkrusher]

i had my PT recommend some banded finger extensions too and they really helped me clear up my elbow issues after i started doing ring training and false grip.
Gonna add this to my prehab work on skill days too thanks lads

[@markpeel]

Good info but turn down that intro music.

[@SchoolofCalisthenics]

Noted!

[@eyebrow1]

Have you done a video on shoulder pain? Ever since trying to achieve the muscle up I've experienced lots of pain in where I believe to be my rotator cuff. Many thanks.

I got forearm pain to be specific in my bone area in myforearm near to the wrist

[@gdragneel653]

I love how this video comes out a month after I destroyed both my elbows ahaha nerve pains whooo
It's interesting though, the physio I've been given for Golfer's requires me to use my other hand to bring up my wrist so that the working wrist only controls downward movement

[@Greg_Chock]

Reverse Tyler Twist with a flexbar helped heal my golfers elbow, but it took over a year of rest.

[@gdragneel653]

Gosh! Did you do much upper body work during that period of time then or none at all? (Aha I started having pains a month ago)

[@Greg_Chock]

@@gdragneel653 I didn't do any strength training but only mobility training. It was hard not to train, but I didn't want to do irreversible damage. I did do scapula shrugs to learn to use my lats instead of my biceps as the main pulling muscle.

[@gdragneel653]

@@Greg_Chock ah I see! What sort of mobility training did you do? Thanks for replying!! :) Do you think getting back into playing cricket is too excessive..?

[@Greg_Chock]

@@gdragneel653 Yuri Marmerstein routine with lightest resistance band (check Tom Merrick), pec stretch/lat activation (RedDeltaProject), wall slides (Fitness FAQs). Recommend you see a physical therapist. As for Cricket, try it out and see if it aggravates your elbow or not. YW

[@gdragneel653]

Greg Chock brilliant thank you so so much!!

[@mitchellcorvus7056]

Would this help with elbow pain from sphinx press-ups too?

[@conlangknow8787]

Maybe

[@antosha4e]
