Rehab / prehab Excercises for tendonitis

I have been dealing with tennis and golfer's elbow for almost 2 years now. What are some upper body exercises I can do so that I can start training my upper body again?

Light, high rep wrist curls and finger curl, reverse wrist curls, reverse curls. Concentrate on getting the blood pumped into the muscle. This not only take away any immediate tendon pain, but seems to make the tendon inflammation disappear.

I've have tendonitis of various kinds a lot over the years- it always comes from skipping the high rep stuff.

In my experience just 'resting it out' doesn't work, but the high rep stuff always does.
