Golfer’s elbow tends to show up as a slow-building ache on the inside of the elbow, often after gripping, lifting or twisting tasks that repeat through the day. One begins to notice it when performing usual tasks such as picking up a saucepan, carrying bags or any other low-stress manual work.
When you visit us with concern, we look at how the forearm behaves during these movements, check the wrist-flexor muscles for tight spots and assess whether the shoulder or upper arm are forcing the elbow to take more strain than it should. These small observations guide the pace and direction of treatment. Our approach includes:
- Softening tight wrist-flexor tissue that often drives the irritation
- Settling tendon discomfort with precise, patient hands-on work
- Guiding gentle, progressive strengthening as the tendon begins to tolerate more load
- Refining gripping and lifting habits so the elbow isn’t repeatedly aggravated
Golfer’s elbow responds best to slow, steady progression. We keep the plan achievable, change intensity only when the area shows improvement, and check in regularly so you understand how your symptoms are shifting.
