Many available: An exercise that is effective in strengthening tennis elbow is the "hammer" exercise. With your elbow bent at 90 degrees and forearm parallel to the floor, hold in your hand the end of the handle of a hammer (or tennis racket). Rotate your forearm and wrist so that the hammer head forms an arc from left to right and back again. Do this several times a day to strengthen the brachioradialis muscle.

Tennis elbow: Recent studes suggest that if you wait 2-3 years it will just go away. Course that does;t help now......First try ice, deep massage, anti-infammatories, topical antifinflammatories. Doctors may suggest steroid shots, blood product injections, stretching and eccentric strenghtheing, chopat straos or surgery.
