Thank God I was in a healthy state and these exercises were a good thing to me. Here’s my review:
Relieves Stiffness: These exercises were beneficial to release tension in any forearm and wrist muscle that felt sore to me.
Improves Flexibility: As a result of the practice I observed increased movement in the fingers and the wrist.
Boosts Grip Strength: The exercise of using the ball to squash it made my grip to become stronger and steadier.
Simple and Effective: The given exercises can be done without extra facilities, so everybody can do it.
Relaxing and Therapeutic: These exercises appeared to be calming and offer me a level of ease within the muscles.
Altogether, it could be stressed that all these exercises might be used not only for the purpose of preventing tennis elbow but also for obtaining good health of the forearm and wrist muscles. It will be useful in any daily practice.
