Can Yoga & Meditation help manage Tennis Elbow?

Yoga and meditation can help manage tennis elbow, but you should consult with your doctor before practicing yoga if you have tennis elbow:

  • Yoga: Yoga can help with tennis elbow by stretching and strengthening the tendons and ligaments, which can help keep them flexible. Yoga can also improve balance, flexibility, and strength, and relieve pain and stress. However, you should avoid poses that put too much weight on your hands and wrists, such as plank and chaturanga. Instead, you can try using a yoga wedge to elevate your hands and decrease the angle of wrist extension. You can also try aligning your elbows and shoulders carefully.
  • Meditation: Meditation can help manage tennis elbow.
  • Rest: Rest is also important for managing tennis elbow.
