Are you suffering with GOLFER'S ELBOW?

Golfer’s elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis is a condition which causes pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow and can radiate down into the forearm. People of any age can get golfer’s elbow but it is common in patients ages of 40 and 60 with males and females being equally affected.

Golfer’s elbow can be caused by trauma to the medial epicondyle of the elbow but is more often an overuse injury primarily due to repetitive strain from tasks and activities that involve gripping, rotating your arm and flexing your wrist. The repeated movements, commonly seen in golf and/or tennis, cause microtears and strains in the tendons attaching the medial epicondyle of the elbow.

Common symptoms of golfer’s elbow include:

- Pain and Tenderness: located on the inside of the elbow, often exacerbated by bending the elbow or gripping objects.
- Stiffness: The elbow may become stiff, and range of movement decreased after long periods of resting e.g. First thing in the morning after sleeping.
- Weakness: You may experience weakness in in your wrist and grip strength.

Treatment:

Firstly, we’d suggest avoiding aggravating movements where possible until rehabilitation can begin due to the nature of the injury.

Stretches
Fully straighten your affected elbow with your hand facing upwards. Using your other hand, pull your hand down as far as you comfortably can. You should feel a stretch on the inside of your elbow and forearm; this should not be painful. Hold for 20-30 seconds.

Eccentric Strengthening
Hold a small weight, a tin of baked beans or a bottle of water would be suitable. Rest your affected arm over a table top with your hand facing upwards and your wrist hanging off the end. With your unaffected hand lift your affected hand so your wrist is as far up as it will go. Let go of your affected hand and slowly, with control, lower your wrist so it is hanging over the side of the table once more.

Should your symptoms continue please contact us to book an appointment with one of the team.
