If you’re dealing with some stiffness in your elbows from training, then try this out!

Grab a towel and place it at the hinge of your elbow.

Use your other hand to provide gentle overpressure at the forearm.

This created “joint gapping” which helped create some space and improved mobility in the elbow joint.

Perform 5 repetitions for 15 second holds.

Elbow gapping to reduce stiffness in the elbow joint.

Song Code: LDU28RGFGZT8Y95R

I wanted to share the idea of “joint gapping.” It’s a simple way to create more space in a stiff or tight joint to help with movement.

Essentially, you can use a towel or another object to act as a fulcrum to create a gapping or spacing in the joint.

When a joint is stiff, specifically a “hinge joint” (think of a hinge on the door-opening and closing) such as the elbow and knee, you can see how placing a towel between the joint were the joint bends can create a fulcrum and a gapping to make space.

So if you’re dealing with an elbow injury or a stiff elbow joint, check out the Grappling RX – Elbow Rehab Course to get a step-by-step proven approach to mobility, strength, and return to sport.
