Thanks for sharing so useful videos that draw a line of direction to ease and overcome the problems after surgery of elbow .I have surgery of elbow three months ago Iftikhar Ahmed
Thank you so much , I have a right radial replacement do to a fracture in my right elbow. So painful, I was supposed to start therapy this past week. They had no openings till next week. I am a very active 71 year old , I want to get back to being me. I found you and have been doing your exercises. 😍
Hope you’re feeling a bit better rosemary! I fractured mine 6 weeks ago and I just can’t believe how quick it’s been healing! At first I couldn’t do any of these exercises and now I’m able to do all of them with ease. Healing thoughts to you ❤️🩹
Thanks a lot for this video. I had a multiple olecranon fracture, the tasks were a bit too advanced for the beginning for my kind of injury as I couldn’t move my hand nor arm at all but after about 2 months I could join in. I am now following the tips again after my second surgery 😊Thanks for the continued motivation.
Thank you so much for the video. I also fractured my elbow radial head two days after my fracture orthopedic doctor said to start moving my arm to supination and he tried doing for me and it was so painful! He said I had to endure the pain so for a couple of weeks I was doing it like he said but I was grabbing my hand to move my palm upwards but the pain was horrible, I endured the pain like doctor said. Now my wrist hurts! I went to my follow up appointment and I asked the doctor for physical therapy and he said I didn’t need it because what I’m doing is fine!! Now I realized I was doing it wrong by grabbing my palm and moving my palm to supination. I’m doing your exercises and little by little I’m feeling better.
Thank you for these exercises. My husband had his staples removed 2 days ago and is waiting for his appointment to Physiotherpy. He did all of them and felt a little pain and can now touch his nose! Thank you
It has been exactly a month ago when I dislocated my elbow and I’ve been doing these exercises for almost 3 weeks now. Not everyday but it definitely helps me feel less stiff. I still can’t fully stretch nor flex my arm but I’m almost there. Grateful for the vid. Fighting!
@@precioussto.domingo8835 How is your elbow now. I am in exact same case as you mentioned. I had dislocated my right arm 3 weeks ago. cast was placed & it was removed after 1.5 weeks. May I know after how many weeks you were able to do all normal activities on right arm as before. Awaiting for your kind reply.. Thanks
Also me . I wanna know how is your elbow now . I was broken my elbow last 25 days ago and i had ORIF sugery last 15 days . Now i worry abt my elbow .I wanna know when my elbow can flex and extension 😢
TY! Was hit on my bicycle by a distracted driver a few days ago & have a broken elbow. Surgery is in a few days and I'm so happy to have found your video!
I highly recommend this channel. These exercises work and help you accelerate your recovery. In March, I dislocated my elbow due to a fall. I had elbow surgery, had plate and 8 big screws put in my elbow. I immediately followed your video. I really liked that you first show the exercise and then you do the exercises step by step for the the viewer to follow so that the exercises are easy to do. Your encouraging words are very motivational as far as pain level and when to stop. I also did your "How to get Elbow Flexion top 8 exercises" and "Best Forearm Exercises for Supination" videos. I improved so much that my orthopedic doctor at my last post surgery follow up, my orthopedic doctor was extremely impressed by my fast recovery. Again many thanks.
Thank you ma'am. I underwent ORIF surgery for my compound frature of my forearm. The cast has been removed now. This is day 2 of my rehabilitation process. This video is helping me immensely. Thank you once again. New subscriber from India.
Thankyou for your video , I am nearly 2 weeks posted fracture of my Radical head elbow and your exercise are very helpful as the hospital doesn't give you exercises to go away with anymore, so I looked my type of fracture up and what physio I would have to do and your video came up so thankyou
Thank you. That’s so helpful. Here in the UK it’s four weeks after my elbow fracture and there’ll be no physio offered. Thank goodness for you and TH-cam 🙏
Thank you so much for this video my 4 year old had a small fracture above the elbow and was very stiff once the cast came off. These workouts helped so much
Thank you so much for putting these exercises online. They are beneficial. I am way ahead of schedule in my recovery from a shattered ulna and radius. I so appreciate this video.
After getting my cast off and the OK from my consultant to move my arm up and down I was unsure what to do for the best, especially as I have my first physio appointment three weeks away. So, these muscle moving exercises have been a God send for me to begin and take courage and confidence in your very encouraging, gentle series of exercises. I can feel my atrophied/sore bicep muscle feel stretched and grateful and if I persevere, each day with these moves I hope to get more flexion in my elbow. It will be a long road though with your calm, reassuring, knowledgeable advice I have confidence that my arm can and will improve. So thank you, thank you, Michelle, for this invaluable film of super advice and encouragement. Adrian in the UK in Nov 2023
You will improve for shure.l have radial head fracture 4 mounts ago and now l have full rom movement and l already lifting 5 to 7kg weits and l already make biceps triceps trening
I fractured my elbow 11 days ago and was very briefly in a plaster cast. Then my elbow was pinned and wired. Thanks to the brilliant Spanish Health Service. I am 83 and on holiday from England. There is a reciprocal agreement between the English health sevice and those of the EU. So no bills to pay. You video is being incredibly helpful and each day I find I have a little more movement and a great deal more independence with normal daily activities. Thank you so much.
I did these exercises as soon as my bandages came off. They really helped me regain my mobility. I was ahead of the game when I began physical therapy. I have regained almost full range of motion and I believe starting exercise and therapy quickly was key.
congratulations! i feel like it's taking very long, i am two months from surgery. as a reference, how long did it take for ou to regain mobility? for me it's the flexion and stretching of the elbow which really annoys me.
@@anne-mariesvennberg9840 I'm certain it's different for everyone. My bandages came off in about 7 to 9 days and that's when I began using these exercises. I started physical therapy 2 weeks later. I remember being two months out of surgery and being frustrated that I wasn't back to normal. It takes more like 4 to 6 months. I never gave up and continued exercising after I finished physical therapy which took 3 months. I have always liked going to the gym and resumed my regular workout, incorporating some of the physical therapy exercises. Good luck. You can do this!
2 weeks post-op total elbow replacement and can't get to a PT for 2 months (booked up). So this video is a huge help to begin working on extension and suprination until can get into PT.
Thank you for these exercises. My accident happened in 2008 and with my moving house now I’ve been in constant pain. I wasn’t aware of all these subtle moves that can make a huge difference.
Thank you so much for making this video. I broke my elbow last week and just came out of the brace. These excersises are great and I'll try to do them couple of times a day to hopefully fully recover my full range of motion.
Thank you very much. The exercises are very useful. I wasn't given any instructions on exercises to do post-elbow surgery (other than "resume normal activities" at my 7 week post surgery appointment) so luckily found this video. My goal is to now improve my range of motion so that when they send me to physical therapy in the next couple of weeks, I'll already be close to full-range of motion.
@@andreamaejaro It took almost a year of doing physical therapy exercises, but my range of motion is practically full. I don't notice any problems doing activities. I wish the surgeon had not misled me to believe that I'd be able to do all activities quickly. My physical therapist luckily told me it would take a year.
This has been valuable dislocated my elbow, broke my radial head, corenoid tip and my ligaments repaired its been 2days now after the Doc gave me go ahead to train the elbow this has helped me a lot.
thanks - it's also a lot about daring to use your arm and you show it so niceley , no rush, just trying to stretch a little bit further with the help of the other hand - your video helped me a lot.
Thank you for these exercises. You gave us hope that we can regain back what's loss to us 😊. I am almost 1 month post operation. I can now move my arm without the sling. Thank you
Got my cast taken off just today so I'm really looking to start early with the exercise. I've tried to move my arm around every couple minutes throughout the day and I definitely can already feel a bit of progress. These are very good exercises, exactly what I was looking for so thank you very much :)
@@tonyevans2088 Only 3 weeks. It was a bike accident, a pretty bad one but I luckily only had a minor elbow fracture so that's why only 3 weeks. And since I only had it for 3 weeks the recovery was much faster so I had full mobility back in maybe like 5 days or so. If you had the cast for a longer time it's gonna take longer to regain your mobility but you really gotta do the exercise. As much as you can, multiple times a day maybe every like 1-2 hours or so and try to rest your hand in a more flexed position it's not comfortable but it's going to help you regain the mobility much faster than if you were sitting or laying down with the arm bent.
@@xtherealest Thanks so much for sharing! Same for me, something came loose in my bike, started to swerve, hit the breaks, and was thrown off. Got a radial head fracture (same for you?), a concussion (wake-up call to always wear a helmet from now on), many bruises and nerves SHOT lol! lady who witnessed it said my neck twisted in a very strange way so I think it could have been a lot worse - scary! The doctor said I should keep the cast on for 2 weeks, still v.painful but want to regain full extension asap. Some people say to start moving it sooner but it is impossible with the cast on, will follow his orders I guess. Glad you're recovered and doing well - not a fun experience but has def put things in perspective!
@@tonyevans2088 Haha I also had a radial fracture it was pretty much the same for me. But I was wearing a helmet you should've too I bruised my face a lot but I didn't get a concussion because of the helmet, that definitely saved me. The bruises were probably even worse than wearing the cast, I was bruised all around my body I couldn't even sleep at night because however I laid down I was laying on the bruises and it was terrible the first nights I barely slept. You should be glad you're even alive since you weren't wearing a helmet dude. Be careful with that the next time. What I advise you do at least a little bit since you can't move your arm with the cast try to move your shoulder at least a bit so you don't lose mobility in the shoulder too and move your fingers around so you get blood flow in them but the docs probably told you that. I also had I don't know what it's called in english but when it's not broken but it's damaged from the impact I had that on my hip and I almost couldn't walk the first couple days it was crazy. I'm glad both you and I didn't end up worse that that. Do the exercises and trust me you'll have full mobility in no time. Stay strong brother and wear a helmet next time it really ain't no joke it would be a different story probably if I didn't wear a helmet. I still had my face wrapped in bandages because I was bleeding from the injuries but I atleast didn't die lol
Thank you so much for this video! I dislocated my right elbow 10 days ago and just came off the cast and my arm could barely move and lots of swelling. I followed your instructions and felt so much better ❤ and so much more confident on the rehab journey ahead 🙏
Thank you for this video, after my cast was removed last week I still have to wait for my physio follow up for another two weeks. I will be following your exercises while waiting. I already tried your session, feels good.
Thank you for thr great elbow exercises. Very helpful to me! I can’t get into Physical Therapy for a few weeks either but my surgeon said to start moving my arm. 😊
Michelle, these are pretty much the exercises my PT's gave me for my broken elbow. I was getting quite frustrated/impatient at my elbow still being bent after a month. I know it takes time to heal...that is what got me into this mess in the first place! LOL Your video gives me a friendly face to work with me on the way to recovery, and a few extras like where to place the other hand to help move arm...with the visual. I can do the exercises my wonderful PT gals gave me,. But having a visual person to encourage...and you really look like you have an elbow issue,... keeps me focused daily between PT visits. Thank you for this video!
This is incredibly invaluable. Thank you so much! So pleased that I stumbled upon this little gem of a video. Suffered a type 3 radial head break yesterday and these exercises are already helping with stiffness of the elbow. Thank you ❤️👏
"1000 kisses" from Germany. The way you show us how to act exactly by doing it for your own "at the same" time in such a postive mode turns me from sadness to happyness and thankfulness in a few minutes. Probably my fractured ellbow will be better after a while of exercises than before (my accident). 🤭😉
I wish I had found you 2 weeks ago. I dislocated my elbow almost 3 weeks ago. The dr didn’t give anything but vague answers so I have been hunting for something like this. I’ve done this video 3 to 4 times a day for 2 days and am actually already noticing better movement. Any tips of you feel like you have a knot in your bicep?
Thanks! Because of your routine, I have full range of motion restored 5 weeks after my Type 1 elbow fracture. I can't tell you how much it meant to find your video a couple weeks after my injury (which fortunately was a stable break where I could begin simple ROM)
Oh my goodness @particiacockerill Thank you so much for the GENEROUS super thanks $! I am very grateful and so happy to hear my videos helped you 🙏 You put in the hard work to get there. I am happy I was along for the journey! 💪
Thanks so much for this video. I was hit by a car and landed on and fractured my olecranon. I’m now 6 weeks post surgery and have been instructed to start moving my arm again now and this video is really helpful.
I needed a second surgery after 6 months because my elbow had become so stuck (4 months of aggressive, agonising physio could only get so much movement back). It should never have been immobilised after the initial surgery. I returned to work full time a year post accident and my arm now functions. I’ve lost some range at the end of flexion and extension but it’s good enough. Moral of the story? Early mobilisation post surgery! I hope your recovery goes well.
Thanks alot! This helped me bring more flexibility to my left arm since my cast just came of yesterday. You have earned yourself a like a sub! Keep up the great work!
Amazing video and program! Fractured my left radial head after slipping in ice and have been doing these exercises at least 1x a day for the past 4-weeks and have almost 90% recovery! Would love to see another follow-along program that is a bit more advanced for people to follow!
I had the same injury too. Fell down after slipping on a slippery rocky ground. I am 6 weeks post-surgery but my flexion is still at 90 degrees. Extension and supernation is a lot better.
I’m starting today after getting my cast off. :’) slipped in the ice as well and I was so surprised when the cast came off and I couldn’t straighten my arm. your comment gave me a lot of reassurance that it’ll get better!! Thank you!!
I had the terrible triad of a dislocated elbow, fractured radial head and torn ligament. I was surprised that my cast was taken off after 2 weeks. I've been doing your exercises and can see an improvement. 🙂
This is really great, thank you. It’s been two weeks since the dislocation and it became apparent that my range of motion was very limited due to stiffness. I’m wondering: 1. how often should I do these exercises per day? 2. Does the time spent with static elbow movement earlier on limit the full range of movement later on?
Thank you thank you thank you so much! You truly helped me! I’m 53 & fractured my radial neck roller skating after a week of rest I started these exercises & it was a difference maker! By week 3 I took a turn for the better. I’m in week 4.5 of my injury my ortho wants me to do weights under 5lbs. My extension is still not perfect & the elbow is tiny sore but I’m overall improving each day. Do you have a sequel to this video to help with extension ?
YOU ARE AMAZING. SORRY TYPING IN CAPS BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE ONE WORKING HAND..OBVIOUSLY. I TRIPPED AND MY FALL RESULTED IN A RADIAL HEAD REPLACEMENT ONE WEEK AGO AND THE OTHER ELBOW IS FRACTURED BUT MOSTLY FUNCTIONAL. I HAVE A BABY AND TODAY I FELT SO HOPELESS RE MY HEALING PROCESS AS MY SLING AND CAST WERE REMOVED TODAY AND THE PAIN HAS BEEN PRETTY INTENSE ESP THE SLIGHTEST OF PRONATION TWEAKS. IN TEARS I SAT DOWN TO PROACTIVELY START MY JOURNEY TO GETTING THIS ELBOW MOVING. YOUR VIDEO WAS SOOOO HELPFUL. IT GUIDED ME SO PERFECTLY AND MOVEMENTS I THOUGHT I COULDNT DO I MANAGED TO DO. EVEN THOUGH IM BOOKED FOR PHYSIO NEXT WEEK, I WILL CONTINUE WITH YOUR VIDEOS DAILY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU MADE MY WEEK!
How soon after a fracture can I begin these exercises? I am 9 days post radial head fracture. Ortho said everything was lined up perfectly. I asked if I could just use the sling instead of the splint and he was ok with that. So sling for 7-10 days and he said just do stretches. I was ok'd for keyboard and mouse work as well. I do not put any weight or pressure on my arm, but many things just make it sore. I want to regain my range of motion because I am a weightlifter, but also don't want to get too far ahead of myself with exercises right away. Is it ok to start these now but not add pressure or is the pressure ok?
Madam i went through motorcycle accident in 2010.My left hand olecron process joint bone litttle lower was broken.I went through surgery and excercises.The bone has been joined but my left hand elbow can't have full straight flextion and extension after doing excercises.Madam what to do?And also i love you madam💞💞💞💞💞💞.Love from Bangalore, India
Hi, I had a broken elbow and tommorrow i will remove my gympsum,i had no surgery and wore it for 19 days. Can i start recovery right after i remove my gypsum?
I get cast next week I’ve been in a splint for three weeks and waking up stiff. I’m not cleared yet for PT so watching your videos to reduce stiffness and swelling
I have started PT, i dislocated my elbow and have a small fracture on the radial head, i am wondering why my elbow kind of locks and cracks on the inside part of my elbow? It hurts when it cracks.
Thank you for this! I’m 6 months out from my osteopathic surgery on my humerus(split up the middle from landing wrong in an accident). I’m scared of my tricep. Probably irrational, but I feel like if I really try to push that tricep to extend my elbow, that I will hurt myself somehow. Do you have tips or logic to help me get through that or better gauge how far I can push myself?
Awesome, this is really helpful.. recently met with accident and my left elbow is dislocated got casting for 1 month and now i am following your exercise.
@@maimoonatahir1333 it is improved now by 85% now I can touch my own shoulder too. Even i am also doing heat therapy too which help me in fast recovery. If you wish to get more tips and regarding diet then please let me know
@@amitkaushik9337 my elbow also stayed in the cast for 5 weeks and its very stiff now. I also hafd 2 surgeries. Can you pls give details about the exercises you did, heat therapy and diet?
I had a luxation and capitellum fracture, I went to emergency and the first doctor that treated me told me I shouldn't move my arm at all.. the bad thing is that I had surgery almost 3 weeks after the accident and my elbow was so stiff previous surgery. I got 3 screws and the new doctor told me to move my arm right away, I have a 6 inches scar right in the middle of my elbow, it's really huge, I'm 2 weeks post surgery and I'm starting to get frustrated for the lack of extension, i almost right away recovered pronation and supination. But I'm struggling with flexion and extension. I'm a person who exercises often and this is really stressing, also the Dr. Told me "It's mental"... That she moved my arm during surgery and everything was okay, my tendons are so tense, not mention I still have staples.. idk if my doctor is pushing too hard? It makes me feel as if there's something really wrong with my lack of extension and it's so stressing
I really do hope you answer my question so a few weeks ago I fell and landed on my elbow. doctors said I had a close small fracture. It's really not a big of a deal they said but then after a couple of weeks after all the swelling subsided, I realized that I can't bend my arm fully and I can't straighten it. Is it really a normal thing after an injury to the elbow that we can't move it to the full extend? I'll have to meet a doctor for a reassessment for my elbow but I really am anxious about it. I'm worried that I can't no longer bend my arm to the full extend anymore. what's the reason? doctors said there's no dislocation but why I can't bend my elbow? I hope you can maybe shed some light on this matter. Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for these exercises. I broke my wrist and elbow 3 weeks ago, and these have been helpful.
Got my cast taken off just today so I'm really looking to start early with the exercise. I've tried to move my arm around every couple minutes throughout the day and I definitely can already feel a bit of progress. These are very good exercises, exactly what I was looking for so thank you very much :)
hi! how long was your cast on?
@@tonyevans2088 Only 3 weeks. It was a bike accident, a pretty bad one but I luckily only had a minor elbow fracture so that's why only 3 weeks. And since I only had it for 3 weeks the recovery was much faster so I had full mobility back in maybe like 5 days or so. If you had the cast for a longer time it's gonna take longer to regain your mobility but you really gotta do the exercise. As much as you can, multiple times a day maybe every like 1-2 hours or so and try to rest your hand in a more flexed position it's not comfortable but it's going to help you regain the mobility much faster than if you were sitting or laying down with the arm bent.
@@xtherealest Thanks so much for sharing! Same for me, something came loose in my bike, started to swerve, hit the breaks, and was thrown off. Got a radial head fracture (same for you?), a concussion (wake-up call to always wear a helmet from now on), many bruises and nerves SHOT lol! lady who witnessed it said my neck twisted in a very strange way so I think it could have been a lot worse - scary! The doctor said I should keep the cast on for 2 weeks, still v.painful but want to regain full extension asap. Some people say to start moving it sooner but it is impossible with the cast on, will follow his orders I guess. Glad you're recovered and doing well - not a fun experience but has def put things in perspective!
@@tonyevans2088 Haha I also had a radial fracture it was pretty much the same for me. But I was wearing a helmet you should've too I bruised my face a lot but I didn't get a concussion because of the helmet, that definitely saved me. The bruises were probably even worse than wearing the cast, I was bruised all around my body I couldn't even sleep at night because however I laid down I was laying on the bruises and it was terrible the first nights I barely slept. You should be glad you're even alive since you weren't wearing a helmet dude. Be careful with that the next time. What I advise you do at least a little bit since you can't move your arm with the cast try to move your shoulder at least a bit so you don't lose mobility in the shoulder too and move your fingers around so you get blood flow in them but the docs probably told you that. I also had I don't know what it's called in english but when it's not broken but it's damaged from the impact I had that on my hip and I almost couldn't walk the first couple days it was crazy. I'm glad both you and I didn't end up worse that that. Do the exercises and trust me you'll have full mobility in no time. Stay strong brother and wear a helmet next time it really ain't no joke it would be a different story probably if I didn't wear a helmet. I still had my face wrapped in bandages because I was bleeding from the injuries but I atleast didn't die lol
Hi, did you have a sensation of burning while during the extension or supination exercises?
Thank you very much a few months ago I broke my elbow and this video helped me a lot 😊
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this video! I dislocated my right elbow 10 days ago and just came off the cast and my arm could barely move and lots of swelling. I followed your instructions and felt so much better ❤ and so much more confident on the rehab journey ahead 🙏
How is your Rehab?
@@henrygaudart7557 my supination and pronation are almost back to normal.. flexion still can’t pass 90 degrees much .. extension is a bit better
@@haiying7993 yeah i fractured my elbow 20 days ago and my flexion is still kinda bad. .. courage !;
@@henrygaudart7557 keep working on it.. although very small improvement but I do see improvement:) good lucky with your recovery ❤️🩹
Did you guys undergo surgery? I had radial fractured elbow. But mine i refuse to undergo surgery. I hope my elbow will back to normal
Thank you for this video, after my cast was removed last week I still have to wait for my physio follow up for another two weeks. I will be following your exercises while waiting. I already tried your session, feels good.
You're welcome! You can do it!
Hi!
Do you have a video when the Eilbow have been dislocated?
Great video! Easy to follow routine with all the exercises needed for basic movement recovery.
Thank you for exercises. I am after elbow dislocation. After three weeks in a splint I have to move my arm. This video is really helpful.
I had a fracture in my elbow and shoulder and this video was very helpful for me thank you very much
Thank you for thr great elbow exercises. Very helpful to me! I can’t get into Physical Therapy for a few weeks either but my surgeon said to start moving my arm. 😊
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 my elbow broke 26 Feb 2023, this video helps me to practise at home.
Once again Thank You.🙌🏻
Aku kecelakaan siku tgl 17 feb
Ini masih latihan,
Michelle, these are pretty much the exercises my PT's gave me for my broken elbow. I was getting quite frustrated/impatient at my elbow still being bent after a month. I know it takes time to heal...that is what got me into this mess in the first place! LOL Your video gives me a friendly face to work with me on the way to recovery, and a few extras like where to place the other hand to help move arm...with the visual. I can do the exercises my wonderful PT gals gave me,. But having a visual person to encourage...and you really look like you have an elbow issue,... keeps me focused daily between PT visits. Thank you for this video!
Thanks, this is more detailed than others I’ve seen. Hoping that early intervention will reduce recovery time.
This is incredibly invaluable. Thank you so much! So pleased that I stumbled upon this little gem of a video. Suffered a type 3 radial head break yesterday and these exercises are already helping with stiffness of the elbow. Thank you ❤️👏
how are you doing now?
Did you undergo surgery?
"1000 kisses" from Germany. The way you show us how to act exactly by doing it for your own "at the same" time in such a postive mode turns me from sadness to happyness and thankfulness in a few minutes.
Probably my fractured ellbow will be better after a while of exercises than before (my accident). 🤭😉
This is great to hear! Keep us posted on your progress!
Thanks you soo much for these videos, they have been super helpful in my recovery
Thank you veryuch for the video I just had my ulna surgery few days ago
Post Op 3 weeks, excellent advice, I tried this and it works well. Thank you.
Great to hear!
I wish I had found you 2 weeks ago. I dislocated my elbow almost 3 weeks ago. The dr didn’t give anything but vague answers so I have been hunting for something like this. I’ve done this video 3 to 4 times a day for 2 days and am actually already noticing better movement. Any tips of you feel like you have a knot in your bicep?
Thanks! Because of your routine, I have full range of motion restored 5 weeks after my Type 1 elbow fracture. I can't tell you how much it meant to find your video a couple weeks after my injury (which fortunately was a stable break where I could begin simple ROM)
Oh my goodness @particiacockerill Thank you so much for the GENEROUS super thanks $! I am very grateful and so happy to hear my videos helped you 🙏 You put in the hard work to get there. I am happy I was along for the journey! 💪
Thank you for the help.Had cracked head radial.Insurancewould not pay for my therapy so you are all i have❤
For pronation/supination I also hold a small dumbbell (1lb) by its end to help get the movement a bit further.
Thank you for your videos on elbow exercises .
I broke my elbow and had been not working it so it got really stiff but I’m working with it now and I’m getting better ❤
How is your elbow now? Mine is extremely stiff after staying in cast for 5 weeks and 2 surgeries
Thanks so much for this video. I was hit by a car and landed on and fractured my olecranon. I’m now 6 weeks post surgery and have been instructed to start moving my arm again now and this video is really helpful.
Same thing just happened to me :( was on my bike. How are you now, 1 year later?
I needed a second surgery after 6 months because my elbow had become so stuck (4 months of aggressive, agonising physio could only get so much movement back). It should never have been immobilised after the initial surgery. I returned to work full time a year post accident and my arm now functions. I’ve lost some range at the end of flexion and extension but it’s good enough. Moral of the story? Early mobilisation post surgery! I hope your recovery goes well.
@@sabinacook2239 thank you! Sorry you had a rough time, Thanks for responding.
Thanks alot! This helped me bring more flexibility to my left arm since my cast just came of yesterday. You have earned yourself a like a sub! Keep up the great work!
This has been VERY helpful. Thank you
❤hello Im from Philippines i watch your video it help me a lot with my wrist fracture.. Thank You
Thank you soo much you angle…with only first session miracle happened to me so much love ❤

Amazing video and program! Fractured my left radial head after slipping in ice and have been doing these exercises at least 1x a day for the past 4-weeks and have almost 90% recovery! Would love to see another follow-along program that is a bit more advanced for people to follow!
Thank you for the suggestion and I agree I need to put that on my list!
I had the same injury too. Fell down after slipping on a slippery rocky ground. I am 6 weeks post-surgery but my flexion is still at 90 degrees. Extension and supernation is a lot better.
I’m starting today after getting my cast off. :’) slipped in the ice as well and I was so surprised when the cast came off and I couldn’t straighten my arm. your comment gave me a lot of reassurance that it’ll get better!! Thank you!!
I had the terrible triad of a dislocated elbow, fractured radial head and torn ligament. I was surprised that my cast was taken off after 2 weeks. I've been doing your exercises and can see an improvement. 🙂
@@khairuladli9345 how are you now, I am 8 weeks post op extension is better but flex still stuck at 90 degrees :(
This is really great, thank you. It’s been two weeks since the dislocation and it became apparent that my range of motion was very limited due to stiffness. I’m wondering: 1. how often should I do these exercises per day? 2. Does the time spent with static elbow movement earlier on limit the full range of movement later on?
I had Elbow surgery for an injury, 3 weeks ago.
All of your videos including this one, are so helpful- thank you
How is ur elbow now? Can you fully straighten it?
@@andreamaejaro No. My arm is not straighten due to elbow injury
@@waleedmansoor9033 even if you’re doing therapy or exercises specifically for elbow injury?
@@andreamaejaro no i am not doing exercise
Thank you again Michelle from Philippines ❤
Thank you thank you thank you so much! You truly helped me! I’m 53 & fractured my radial neck roller skating after a week of rest I started these exercises & it was a difference maker! By week 3 I took a turn for the better. I’m in week 4.5 of my injury my ortho wants me to do weights under 5lbs. My extension is still not perfect & the elbow is tiny sore but I’m overall improving each day. Do you have a sequel to this video to help with extension ?
Thank you i broken radial head last week and have no cast only told to wear a sling will heel between 3 to 4 weeks
Thank you family continue the good work ♥️ 💯
Such a great routine. It's helping me improve at the moment.
A Question please : Any recommendations for the rest time between session?
I would also like to know this! Sling? Try not to use the sling? Elevate? Hot or cold?
thank you, my doctor was shocked at the improvement!!!
Thanks for this video ..Just my cast taken off.. Starting doing the exercise for 3rd day..Had an elbkw fracture in an accident for skating
YOU ARE AMAZING. SORRY TYPING IN CAPS BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE ONE WORKING HAND..OBVIOUSLY. I TRIPPED AND MY FALL RESULTED IN A RADIAL HEAD REPLACEMENT ONE WEEK AGO AND THE OTHER ELBOW IS FRACTURED BUT MOSTLY FUNCTIONAL. I HAVE A BABY AND TODAY I FELT SO HOPELESS RE MY HEALING PROCESS AS MY SLING AND CAST WERE REMOVED TODAY AND THE PAIN HAS BEEN PRETTY INTENSE ESP THE SLIGHTEST OF PRONATION TWEAKS. IN TEARS I SAT DOWN TO PROACTIVELY START MY JOURNEY TO GETTING THIS ELBOW MOVING. YOUR VIDEO WAS SOOOO HELPFUL. IT GUIDED ME SO PERFECTLY AND MOVEMENTS I THOUGHT I COULDNT DO I MANAGED TO DO. EVEN THOUGH IM BOOKED FOR PHYSIO NEXT WEEK, I WILL CONTINUE WITH YOUR VIDEOS DAILY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU MADE MY WEEK!
I am so happy to hear this. YOU ARE WELCOME! I hope you continue to feel improvements!
How soon after a fracture can I begin these exercises? I am 9 days post radial head fracture. Ortho said everything was lined up perfectly. I asked if I could just use the sling instead of the splint and he was ok with that. So sling for 7-10 days and he said just do stretches. I was ok'd for keyboard and mouse work as well. I do not put any weight or pressure on my arm, but many things just make it sore. I want to regain my range of motion because I am a weightlifter, but also don't want to get too far ahead of myself with exercises right away. Is it ok to start these now but not add pressure or is the pressure ok?
I absolutely hate doing this, but the results are undeniably good. Thank you
Great exercises
Madam i went through motorcycle accident in 2010.My left hand olecron process joint bone litttle lower was broken.I went through surgery and excercises.The bone has been joined but my left hand elbow can't have full straight flextion and extension after doing excercises.Madam what to do?And also i love you madam💞💞💞💞💞💞.Love from Bangalore, India
Amazing video, thank you so much.
Hi, I had a broken elbow and tommorrow i will remove my gympsum,i had no surgery and wore it for 19 days. Can i start recovery right after i remove my gypsum?
I get cast next week I’ve been in a splint for three weeks and waking up stiff. I’m not cleared yet for PT so watching your videos to reduce stiffness and swelling
Great video, which one do you recommend to do after this one?
Is this is exercise is good for capitulum
fracture in elbow
I have started PT, i dislocated my elbow and have a small fracture on the radial head, i am wondering why my elbow kind of locks and cracks on the inside part of my elbow? It hurts when it cracks.
What about Olecranon fractures? After surgery
thanks gorgeous !!!! it helped a lot this is day 3 and improvements are crazy
You are awesome. Thank you so much! Looking forward to getting past this injury!
I am so happy to find this - many thanks
How many times a day do you recommend doing this?
Thanks madam, I will try from Tanzania
Thanks for the exercises I broke down just above my elbow and I have a damaged rail and possible medial nerve do you have something to help that with
Thankyou. Helpful me recovery
Thank you for this! I’m 6 months out from my osteopathic surgery on my humerus(split up the middle from landing wrong in an accident). I’m scared of my tricep. Probably irrational, but I feel like if I really try to push that tricep to extend my elbow, that I will hurt myself somehow. Do you have tips or logic to help me get through that or better gauge how far I can push myself?
Hi I removed my cast two days ago, how many times a day should one do these exercises and over a period of how long? Thank you
I dislocated my elbows a couple of days back. Thanks for these videos! I’m setting with this one, hopefully it will help me regain normal usage.
Hai maam tnxs for this video im start to watch this now..im. i also have fracture and dislocate elbow
Awesome, this is really helpful.. recently met with accident and my left elbow is dislocated got casting for 1 month and now i am following your exercise.
How is your elbow now?
@@maimoonatahir1333 it is improved now by 85% now I can touch my own shoulder too. Even i am also doing heat therapy too which help me in fast recovery. If you wish to get more tips and regarding diet then please let me know
Yeahhh I have so many questions..did your elbow feel a bit weird after the cast was off? Did your muscles turn Hard around the elbow?
@@amitkaushik9337 my elbow also stayed in the cast for 5 weeks and its very stiff now. I also hafd 2 surgeries. Can you pls give details about the exercises you did, heat therapy and diet?
I fractured my radial head elbow 3 weeks ago. And I didn’t undergo any surgery. I hope my elbow will be fine soon
Thanks mam my elbow is broken now this video very helpful❤❤❤❤
I love your cast! I want a cast like that! My cast sucks! Where can I get one like that for my broken elbow..?
I had a luxation and capitellum fracture, I went to emergency and the first doctor that treated me told me I shouldn't move my arm at all.. the bad thing is that I had surgery almost 3 weeks after the accident and my elbow was so stiff previous surgery. I got 3 screws and the new doctor told me to move my arm right away, I have a 6 inches scar right in the middle of my elbow, it's really huge, I'm 2 weeks post surgery and I'm starting to get frustrated for the lack of extension, i almost right away recovered pronation and supination. But I'm struggling with flexion and extension. I'm a person who exercises often and this is really stressing, also the Dr. Told me "It's mental"... That she moved my arm during surgery and everything was okay, my tendons are so tense, not mention I still have staples.. idk if my doctor is pushing too hard? It makes me feel as if there's something really wrong with my lack of extension and it's so stressing
Thank you for beginners exercise but my point is I have severe shoulder pain so I can do this exercise
These are great exercises. Start doing them to release the muscle stiffness, otherwise, it becomes more painful later.
Thank you for this video
Great video thank you!
Thank you 🙏
I really do hope you answer my question so a few weeks ago I fell and landed on my elbow. doctors said I had a close small fracture. It's really not a big of a deal they said but then after a couple of weeks after all the swelling subsided, I realized that I can't bend my arm fully and I can't straighten it. Is it really a normal thing after an injury to the elbow that we can't move it to the full extend? I'll have to meet a doctor for a reassessment for my elbow but I really am anxious about it. I'm worried that I can't no longer bend my arm to the full extend anymore. what's the reason? doctors said there's no dislocation but why I can't bend my elbow? I hope you can maybe shed some light on this matter. Thank you.
