Dr. Terry Zachary explains the best, most thorough, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) exercise that strengthens and balances all 27 muscles involved in any grip function.

What is tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow (or lateral epicondylitis) is very simply an inflammation of the tendons that insert onto the lateral epicondyle. There are five tendons that make up this common extensor tendon of the lateral elbow. Two of the tendons are finger extensor muscles and three of the tendons are wrist extensor tendons. These tendons become inflamed because of repetitive gripping, repetitive stress injury (RSI), poor strength training, and overuse.

The Handmaster Plus 'Figure 8 Exercise' strengthens 1) the 9 muscles that close the hand, 2) the 9 muscles that open the hand, and 3) the 9 muscles that support the hand properly in any grip position, all in one easy, continuous exercise through full natural ranges of motion (ROM's).

The Handmaster Plus Figure 8 exercise provides an advanced level of grip strength training for grip athletes, musicians, workers, gamers, esports athletes, computer users, and hobbyists. It prevents tennis elbow while providing maximum strength, muscle balance and blood flow to the 27 grip muscles. Ideal as a take home recovery exercise for tennis elbow.

Any tennis elbow exercise that is performed with the hand or hands closed cannot thoroughly address tennis elbow because two of the five muscles that originate from the lateral epicondyle will be trained statically (i.e., the finger extensor muscles). This is because two of the five muscles of the common extensor tendon are finger extensors, which contract statically in support of the finger flexor muscles during grip. Grip is a complicated multi-muscle action, and is the main reason why tennis elbow is rampant in athletes, musicians, workplaces, gamers, computer users and hobbyists.

The Figure 8 Exercises easily addresses the maintenance of the 27 grip muscles, also known as the mechanical (or kinetic) chain of grip.
