Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is an inflammation on the inside of the elbow. It often comes from an overuse injury. This video shows you my favorite stretches & exercises for golfer’s elbow.
Soft tissue mobilization (STM) can be very beneficial for golfer’s elbow. This is not rubbing the area, but you are actually mobilizing or moving the tissue around to help break up adhesions and scar tissue.
Next stretching the inside and outside of the elbow helps. Wrist flexor stretches and wrist extensor stretches will help loosen up the area. Stretches in general can be done with a 30 second hold, 3 times.
Then working on AROM and strengthening for wrist flexion, radial/ulnar deviation, and pronation/supination will help decrease the inflammation and improve motion.
Finally bicep curls are a great way to strengthen the muscles as well.
Tightness & pain in the wrists and forearms is common if you work on a computer or with your hands for long periods. This wrist flexor & extensor stretch is a great way to relieve pain in the wrists, hands, and elbows.
The prayer stretch for the wrist is a great way to not only relieve pain and tightness in your wrists, but it also helps relieve and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand, wrist, and it can sometimes affect the forearm and elbow area. These stretches and exercises can help provide pain relief from carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.
Radial nerve glides, radial nerve flossing, and radial nerve stretches should be done very carefully. Don’t overdo the glide or flossing movements because that can cause more irritation.
Finger pain and hand pain can be caused by many things including hand and finger arthritis, circulation issues, an injury, or just achiness in the joints. These 7 finger and hand pain treatments should help.
The joint at the base of your thumb that goes into your wrist, the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, is a very common place for arthritis to form. These thumb stretches and exercises should help relieve the pain.
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) can promote tissue healing & help reduce scar tissue/adhesions. A common injury that responds well to IASTM is lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow.
These wrist / hand stretches & exercises are simple, but effective in helping to strengthen the wrists/hands and relieve pain. This wrist/hand routine is performed in real-time so it’s easy to follow.
Median nerve glides, median nerve flossing, and median nerve stretches should be done very carefully. Don’t overdo the glide or flossing movements because that can cause more irritation.
