“Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are among the most common elbow injuries among athletic adults,” declares David Savin, MD, a Board Certified and fellowship-trained surgeon with Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center in Rancho Mirage, CA. Ask someone who has it and they’ll gladly tell you they don’t care – they just want to be able to play tennis or golf again without pain.

People often wonder what the difference is between tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. It’s pretty straightforward – with tennis elbow, the pain is on the outside of the elbow. And with golfer’s elbow the pain is on the inside of the elbow. And, of course, there’s the obvious… what’s your passion – golf or tennis? And just to complicate things a bit, you don’t necessarily have to be a tennis or golf player to experience either of these painful problems!

In this Health Insights video blog – Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow Home Rehab Tips – Savin demonstrates exercises to rehabilitate tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow injuries. You may be surprised to learn that most tips rely on wrist and hand movements to rehab the elbow. The following are demonstrated:

• Contrast Therapy

• Ball Squeezes
