chirp Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nearly 2 weeks ago, while bouldering, I fell 12 feet onto my elbow causing it to flop the other direction and do a poor imitation of a flesh colored nun chuck. My first serious climbing injury in nearly 30 years! The doc popped it back in and after my second visit said I needed to start working it back to full extension. This is my current range, as depicted in the image below. It's stiff and aches with some numbness along the radial side near the wrist but the swelling has gone down and I feel like I can start carefully messing with it. I was curious if anyone had a favorite and efficient technique for regaining range? Besides just stretching it out and rotating my palm I am thinking Facilitated stretching would be a good option, but I am open to anyone else who has experienced a similar injury. Thanks in advance!
