Correcting Your Posture
Correcting your posture could be the quickest solution to tennis elbow pain. To correct bad posture actively and consciously roll your shoulders back and squeeze the shoulder blades together. Raise your head and move it backward because practically everyone has forward-head tendencies from sitting at the computer or tablet, texting on the phone, driving, watching TV or reading. You can also improve posture by stretching and strengthening the front of your shoulder, chest, back and bicep muscles.
Initially, it is difficult to remember to correct your posture, because you don't feel that you are slouching. The slouch is the modern posture. Ask a friend or family member to politely remind you as often as possible, without getting annoyed. Eventually, the new posture becomes so natural to you that you won't need to think about it: Your body will subconsciously achieve this position.
Once you correct your posture, you will notice your tennis elbow problems and other overuse injuries (wrists, hips, knees, ankles) start to go away rapidly.
