How to Get Rid of Golfer’s Elbow

Today’s video covers golfer’s elbow and demonstrates three exercises that are used in physical therapy to treat this issue. Golfer’s elbow creates pain on the inside of the elbow where the wrist and finger muscles attach on the medial epicondyle. The condition is usually diagnosed as medial epicondylitis or epicondylalgia.

Pain in this region is typically associated with activities that require repetitive use of the fingers and wrist (climbing, gripping, golf, etc). Because golfer’s elbow is due to an irritation of tendons, it responds well to a resistance training program that progressively increases the strength of the tendons.

Shown here are three simple exercises that work well to help resolve pain associated with golfer’s elbow.

1. Wrist Flexor Curl
2. Pronator Teres Curl
3. Grip Isometric
