4 Elbow Stability Exercises

Today's video focuses on elbow stability exercises. Elbow injuries like falls on an outstretched arm, hyperextension events, or repetitive overload can stretch or damage the stabilizing structures of the joint—leading to instability, pain, and loss of function. When the ligaments and capsule are compromised, the surrounding musculature becomes even more critical for providing dynamic support. Without proper rehabilitation, these injuries can result in lingering symptoms, difficulty with load-bearing tasks, and an increased risk of re-injury. In this video, I’ll demonstrate a series of targeted strengthening exercises for the forearm pronators and supinators, as well as the wrist flexors and extensors—all of which play a major role in controlling forces around the elbow. Strengthening these muscle groups helps stabilize the joint by improving active control during movement and resisting excessive motion under load. Whether you're recovering from an acute elbow injury or working to prevent future issues, these exercises form a foundational part of any evidence-informed rehabilitation program. 00:00 Introduction 00:17 Exercise 1: Pronator Curl 01:30 Exercise 2: Supinator Curl 02:27 Exercise 3: Extensor Curl 03:50 Exercise 4: Flexor Curl 05:01 My Whole-Body Rehab Book
