Description of exercise Proximal elbow glide exercise is a therapeutic movement that involves gently moving the elbow joint in a controlled manner. It is often used in physical therapy to improve range of motion, decrease pain, and increase flexibility in the elbow joint. The exercise starts with the arm bent at a 90-degree angle and the palm facing upward. The therapist then applies gentle pressure to the upper arm and forearm, guiding the elbow into extension while the patient resists the movement. This helps to stretch and strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the elbow joint, promoting better mobility and function. Proximal elbow glide exercise can be beneficial for individuals with conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or after elbow surgery.
