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.
A TENS / EMS Unit can be a great tool for helping to relieve tennis elbow & golfer’s elbow pain. Here are some pad placements to relieve different types of elbow 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.
