Ask a PT Response: "For my patients who have recovered from tennis elbow I would recommend to them to at least continue with the stretching exercises (wrist flexor & extensor stretches in the super 7 along with forearm pronator & supinator stretches). I don't see a problem with someone who has had tennis elbow and would like to continue with the exericises in the super 7 for a warm up. However, I would caution in utilizing too heavy of a weight as this could exacerbate the condition again.

One thing I definitely want to understand when I work with my patients is to determine what contributed to the tennis elbow so as to prevent a recurrence (ie. poor mechanics, poor equipment fitting, repetition, weakness, flexibility, trauma, etc..). If your therapist has addressed that with you already, you will hopefully be more than likely to prevent a recurrence. "
