Follow along with Michelle as she guides you through Beginner elbow exercises you can do after a broken elbow or surgery. Once your cast comes off your elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand can be very stiff. In this video we will be doing light exercises to your hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow. These exercises are perfect for someone looking to increase their range of motion, once cleared by your doctor.
In this follow along routine, we will be doing a total of 10 repetitions of each exercises: 5 reps actively followed by 5 reps of assisted stretches of the same exercise.
First, we will start with elbow flexion and supination which are 2 of the most important motions to get back quickly. Then we will do elbow extension , pronation, and a light combined gripping exercise with a towel.
The only equipment needed is a towel and a pillow (optional).
I hope you find these exercises helpful and they provide relief of stiffness as you are started your recovery journey.

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.

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

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.

@xtherealest 9 күн бұрын

@@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.

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

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.

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. 🙂

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!

So a year ago I had talk to you about my broken elbow I G I made a lot of progress but now I’m having a little trouble with extending the elbow and supinating and pronating my arm at the same time at the pool extension do you have any tricks that I can do to get the strings I still have a little trouble with the range of motion when I flex my elbow to touch my shoulder and last but not least when my arm is fully extended supinating my thumb down in the trouble and it’s really weak when I have weight but my elbow only extend it with my arm out in front of me not possible to do is there any tricks for that too I hope you can make a video soon

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?

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.

Hi Michelle! I fractued my radial head 4-weeks ago and have been following these stretches and recently noticed when I stretch out my arms - my RIGHT (good arm) extend full straight like a line however my LEFT (fractured) while stretches straight is slightly curved in the forearm. Is this typical with recovery process?

I had braces and screws fitted in my left arm for an elbow fracture operation nearly a month ago, and now the cast is off and ready for exercises, My wrist, elbow and shoulder are really stiff, so it's making me feel a bit uneasy about recovering mobility. My surgeon told me I can recover 70% ROM, but in your experience, do surgeons always approach this question very conservatively? People who contacted me said friends who suffered the same injury recovered back to normal within a year. Thanks for the tips.
