Golfer’s Elbow Rehab: How to Fix Your Pain Without Stopping Golf

Golfer’s Elbow Rehab How to Fix Your Pain Without Stopping Golf

Dealing with nagging elbow pain during or after golf?

You likely have golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis. And the good news? You can rehab it without quitting golf — if you do it right.

What Causes It?

  • Overuse of the wrist flexors (grip-intensive)
  • Poor swing mechanics
  • Tightness in forearms, shoulders, or lack of trunk rotation

What Actually Fixes It?

  1. Isometric Wrist Flexion Holds
    • Eases pain through tendon loading
  2. Eccentric Forearm Extensions
    • Stimulates collagen and tendon remodeling
  3. Grip Strength Progressions (Fat Grips, Farmer Carries)
  4. T-Spine + Shoulder Mobility Work
  5. Swing Assessment + Biomechanical Corrections

We understand the swing. We use TPI screening, manual therapy, and strength work — all while keeping you on the course. This isn’t cookie-cutter PT.
