Golfers elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is pain and inflammation at the inside of the elbow. The pain is sharp when doing things like golfing, lifting weights, or even picking up a common object like a book.
Golfer’s elbow is caused by overloading of the tendon as it inserts into the medial epicondyle of the elbow. The flexor muscles that control the wrist and hand all attach into the inner elbow. When these tendons become inflamed they cause acute inner elbow pain.
There are many things that can be done at home, like simple exercises, icing, and use of a golfer’s elbow brace to get pain relief from golfers elbow.

This was great! Both my elbows are so swollen and now I know what it is. It’s very painful especially that bitty bone!
Nice explanation 👌
Thank you for your video. Do you have a video to relieve pain on the lumbar area?
I think I may have golfers elbow but I have a painful lump on/near my elbow and I am not coming across that in my research. Does golfers elbow sometimes involve a lump? Thanks!
Appropriate golf swings are about understanding how and why they are performed and those things are present in golf swing secrets , Jοmtοnο Naha (Go ogle it). My irons improved 15 yards and my driver raised twenty-five after I done reading through the tutorial for the 2nd time. My fun of golf has doubled and my confidence has raised..
But it is waste
Exercise starts at 5:20
I managed to attain a 73-point shot after reading, practicing, and doing the methods evident in golf swing strategies , Jοmtοnο Naha (Go ogle it). Another accomplishment I have made is hitting 13 of 18 greens in regulation. I also almost strike the green with a range of 5 to ten yards on the other 5 holes. 73s isn`t a natural thing for me because I have a handicap of 9. It has been actually a very long time since I made an exceptional round..
I have been golfing for around twenty years, unable to break 90. 3-4 years ago, I couldn’t secure an exceptional round but that was prior to I read the golf swing secrets , Jοmtοnο Naha (Go ogle it). My irons are not that good. I could manage driver appropriately but could only reach a restricted range..
How do I find that band? Thank you.
Best video I have seen on this! Thank you, I am going to do these exercises every day
Hey all, I hope I can add something to this as well! I'm a PT who's passionate about trying to uncover the root cause of common issues and I've been finding that Golfer's Elbow may have everything to do with hidden neck dysfunction. I've put together a short video showing how to figure this out for yourself and what to do about it. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/tLE5ZqeZNQw
I removed my plaster after a elbow crack two months back. Still having pain, night pain increases. Can I use ice pack now.
If someone had this for months…like 8 or 10 months…and they still have pain; seeing it's chronic, do the treat it as though it's acute and ice and use braces, or should they go into the exercises? Also, if you feel "some" pain in the exercises…but it's not very much, do you stop and revert to the ice and wraps? It's confusing to know when to continue or not. Please advise!
Thanks Sir for this wonderful Rehab techniques🙏
Hi Dr Brant , I feel a little pain in my inner elbow it is no too bad, becasue i can do all my activities without pain, even I can flex my wrist in all directions without pain, but when workout I can feel it , do I have golfers ewlbow? should I take a week of the gym?
Thanks for driving home the point to stop activities or exercise causing pain or I am being taking farther away from healing. I am living proof. This condition has lingered for three years. Whle being able to continue some exercise, I have been limited by the elbow condition from making the progress I would like. Thus, I will try to follow this advice and get rid of the pain once in for all that inhibits my activity.
Excellent ! Clear as to causes and therapies to address. Well done!
Hi, I'm just wondering. I'm into bodybuilding and I've had Golfer's Elbow since Dec. It's feeling a bit better since I've laid off the weights, but I can't stay off them any longer. Is it a very bad idea to keep weightlifting? What techniques can I utilize to keep weightlifting while I heal? Thanks!
clear and very informative ,great demo!
