When you can do this stretch with ease and no pain, try the exercise with your hand in a fist instead of with your fingers pointing down.

1. Hold your affected elbow at your side, bent at about 90 degrees. Make a fist with your palm facing down and bend your wrist down.
2. Keeping your wrist bent, slowly straighten your elbow so your arm is down at your side. Then twist your fist out so your palm is facing out to the side and you feel a stretch.
3. Hold for at least 15 to 30 seconds.
4. Repeat 2 to 4 times.

1. Sit in a firm chair, or stand up straight. Keep your shoulder down as you lean away from it. To help you remember to do this, start by relaxing your shoulders and lightly holding on to your thighs or your chair.
2. Look straight ahead. Tilt your head toward one shoulder and hold for 15 to 30 seconds. Relax and let the weight of your head stretch your muscles.
3. Slowly return your head to the starting position.
4. Repeat 2 to 4 times toward each shoulder.

If you would like a little added stretch, place your arm behind your back. Use the arm opposite of the direction you are tilting your head. For example, if you are tilting your head to the left, place your right arm behind your back.

You can also add more stretch by using one hand to pull your head toward your shoulder. For example, keeping your right shoulder down, lean your head to the left and use your left hand to gently and steadily pull your head toward your shoulder.
