Initial treatment for golfer’s elbow is pain control.
There are different things your physiotherapist or doctor may be able to prescribe to help alleviate the pain. A golfer’s elbow brace is one of the tools we use to help alleviate the pressure of the flexor tendons. This can help you get pain-free range of motion, which can facilitate your rehabilitation process.
There are also exercises that you can do to help alleviate the pain and prevent further injury. Some of these exercises including stretching of the flexor tendons like so and also some strengthening of the flexor and also extensor muscles of the forearm.
If people have more questions about golfer’s elbow or their medial elbow pain, then you should contact your local physiotherapist or sports med doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
