3 Golfer's Elbow Exercises

Today's video covers 3 exercises for golfer's elbow or medial epicondylalgia. Pain on the inside of the elbow is often thought to be associated with irritation of the tendons of the wrist and finger flexor muscles as they attach on the medial epicondyle at the inside of the elbow. Pain in this region is often associated with activities that require repetitive use of the fingers and wrist or activities that are likely to surpass the strength capacity of these muscles and their tedons (climbing, gripping, etc).

    These exercises are amazing! I'd had elbow pain for a couple of weeks, progessively feeling worse. Within 3 days of doing the exercises my elbow is pain free and back to normal. I also used ice and heat a couple of times each day. Being age 62, there's often a new ailment each morning, sometimes for no apparent reason, but KZread often has the answer! I really recommend these exercises for golfer's elbow. Thank you!

    ​@TakeElite If I understand it correctly, ice is used first to help reduce inflammation: to help move blood out of the area and reduce swelling. Then heat is used afterward to bring blood back into the area. This process helps the injury to heal quicker.

    Its not weakness in these areas that are responsible for Medial Epicondylitis, rather its most likely overactivity due to synergistic dominance. Strengthen your stabilizers of the Scapula/shoulder, mobilize the ribcage and mid Thoracic axis. This is how you prevent Epicondylitis, in my professional opinion

    Is it normal to experience elbow crepitus with golfers elbow? I have typical golfers elbow pain which I can't really get rid of (got worse when I rested from the gym), but any pulling or pushing movement causes crepitus in that elbow. Like a clicking/slipping/crunching noise. Could this be from the tendon issues? Nobody can tell me anything. I had an xray and was told it looked pretty normal.

    Ice and then heat. Just doing ice isn’t necessarily good because it slows blood flow. But if you include heat after icing it opens up your veins a lot more, allowing blood to reach your elbow tendons easier

    Unfortunately, most doctors aren’t up-to-date on the research regarding these issues. While rest can help reduce pain, it won’t fix the issue. The long-term fix for these types of tendon issues is to gradually strengthen the area with exercises like I showed in this video.

When i dont do any rehab i get pain when working or doing anything really but still could use my arm, but when i started the exercises it got so bad that i couldnt do anything. I also worked my other arm lightly a few times and it got alarming tendencies immediately(but not horrible )
