Fixing the Elbow | Feat. Kelly Starrett | MobilityWOD

Thank a video that addresses my elbow’s lack of motion. Well done!

[Soulthrowers]

Wow this helps so much after my outings . Have had a elbow joint clean up previous in my career but this is helping a ton

[ManlyMan.]

Had a continental clean slip on me, just before it was at my shoulders - 3 weeks ago now, had a pain in my lowerarm after, 3 weeks later - no real pain but I cant extend my elbow completely, i need the last few degrees compared to my other arm, been doing this for a few days now and I can slowly start to flex it into position again, a slight pain but its getting better. Doctors couldnt figure it out and wanted me on all sorts of meds and going through a load of scans.. Thank you! :D

I tried digestive (proteolytic) enzymes in conjunction with "novel movement stretching", and stretching in general, and just made it a point to be extra careful. If it's painful, ice and rest the area only...The goal was to break down the scar tissue, which was causing the popping sensation in my case. This worked well.

[barney]

thanks I can't get full flexion on my left arm, I noticed big difference after only a couple excruciating minutes of rolling the area just above my elbow and i tried the exercise with the band also. I took before and after photos and the improvement is pretty surprising after only such a short time... thanks again

[Zipemova]

I love you K...I have never been able to straighten my elbows... have to try these. Thx!

[skillet]

Watched this a while back, best ever for my elbow

[SV]

I dislocated and had a small elbow fracture (fully healed). Extension is going well however I can’t bend/flex it past 90 degrees 😢

Hi, my name is Wagner and I have a condition which makes difficult to do some of this exercises. My arms doesn't get 100% straight in 180º, something betweeen 160 to 170º. I am never able to reach the lock out position. To support my body in my arms is always a matter of effort and strength. As well with my legs. I have knock knees. I can not align my legs and have my feet together. This is very embarrassing and frustrating for me. Any help with this? I appreciate!

[AimagenDeDios]

I dislocated my elbow a year ago. my therapy did not help. y get stoke on 30 degrees. I'll try to do this exercise like a challenge. I will post or comments how this goes. thank you for your good intentions to help other God bless you

[howardh]

Hi,  
Is this for post surgery rehab after broken humerus and radius? I have very limited range of motion? 6 weeks post surgery. Most say I won't regain full range of motion or be able to bench press/pperform pushups? Thanks in advnce. 

[ahmedmursleen]

Is this the treatment of carrying angle

[bobbyclintbaldwin]

Are these good for cubital sydrome? Xfitter dealing with tingly picky and ring finger and pain on posterior side of elbows. They pop if I fully extend them..

[benfrelin]

I had surgery to restore a partially torn tricep earlier this year. Locking out to full extension occasionally gives me an uncomfortable feeling, but no pain. Are these mobilizations safe/good for me to perform? Could it help me deal with that discomfort from getting to full extension?

[Demus]

Couldn't have been better timing for me, my elbows felt like shit this week

[drfitnessnow]

When you say 'flossing' and 'tacking' are you speaking of the same technique?
Similar to 'pin-and-stretching'?

[richardmccarthy]

Hi, I've had issues with my elbows not locking out or fully extending to 180 my whole life. I've never been injured and it's both elbow they probably only extend to about 150ish. I'm thinking it's some genetic problem. Either way I don't see how the anatomy of the elbow would limit my range of motion. Seem like I should be able to stretch or work them straight over time. I've tried here and there with no success. Is it a lost c

[ArtisTmoney]

what if you never had full range, even my therapist is missing 20 degrees?

[EyeDriveATruck]

Are you aware of people rehabbing grappling injuries with these exercises?
