⛳️ Golfer’s Elbow — What is it?
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) is a condition that causes pain on the inside of the elbow due to irritation or overuse of the tendons that control the wrist and forearm.
Despite the name, it doesn’t just affect golfers — it can occur from repetitive gripping, lifting, gym training, manual work, or even long hours on the computer.
Common signs include:
⚡ Pain or tenderness on the inside of the elbow
⚡ Weak grip strength
⚡ Pain when bending the wrist or gripping objects
⚡ Tightness in the forearm muscles
💡 How can it be managed?
✨ Massage / Myotherapy – helps release tight forearm muscles and reduce tension on the tendon.
✨ Targeted Strengthening Exercises – gradually rebuilds tendon strength and helps prevent the pain from returning.
✨ Dry Needling – can help reduce muscle tightness and trigger points contributing to the issue.
✨ Kinesiology Taping (K-Tape) – supports the tendon and can reduce stress on the area during activity.
The key to recovery is combining treatment with the right exercises so the tendon becomes stronger and more resilient over time.
💛 If you’ve been dealing with elbow pain, getting it assessed early can make a big difference.
