Controlling the inflammationRestoring full muscle extensibilityForearm strengthening programmePhase 1 (weeks 1 to 2)Phase 2 (weeks 3 to 4) Phase 3 (weeks 5 to 6)IMPORTANT: These exercises should only be started once the pain has settled. There should be no pain during or following these exercises. These exercises should be carried out under the supervision of a Chartered Physiotherapist.
The exercises begin with working the extensor muscles of the wrist, in the outer part of the forearm, against a Light Resistance Elasticated Band.
To work the extensor tendons of the wrist eccentrically:
- The forearm is placed facing down supported by a table, with the elbow straight. The wrist and hand should overhang the table. The Elasticated Band is looped under the foot and over the fingers, infront of the knuckles.
- Keeping the fingers straight, slowly lengthen the band by carefully raising,
or 'extending', at the wrist.
The wrist should start at the extreme of wrist flexion (wrist bent forward) and finish at the extreme of wrist extension (wrist bent back), before being lowered slowly in a controlled manner, back to the starting position.
The lowering against resistance is the eccentric muscle contraction component.
