Elbow therapy:
Anchor theraband high. With palm facing down push band down and lift up, rotate hand so that it faces up & then have theraband go up and down. Keep doing this movement alternating with palm facing up and down. Do 3 sets of 20.
Repeat above with theraband anchored at a low point.
Another elbow exercise is to hang a weight from a piece of pipe, grip pipe and roll rope up so weight lifts off ground and then vice versa (lower weight).
Increase resistance as stength increases and pain decreases.
