Eccentric Wrist Flexion

intermediate

10-15 repetitions. 2-3 sets. Perform daily. Light dumbbell or resistance band

Suitable For

Golfer's Elbow

Contraindications

Avoid if you have acute severe pain
Do not perform if eccentric loading increases elbow pain

Benefits

Promotes tendon remodeling and healing
Improves load tolerance of the flexor tendon
Reduces long-term recurrence of golfer's elbow
Restores grip strength and function

Eccentric exercise is considered the gold standard for tendinopathy rehabilitation. For golfer's elbow, eccentric wrist flexion strengthens the tendon while it is under tension, stimulating collagen production and tendon remodeling.

How to Perform

Sit with your forearm supported on a table, palm facing up, wrist hanging over the edge. Use your other hand to curl your wrist up. Slowly lower the weight over 3-5 seconds using only your affected wrist. Start with a very light weight and progress gradually.
