  1. Pointers You Should Consider to Avoid Golfer’s Elbow

  2. Golfers elbow is perhaps one of the most painful conditions ever to affect those who love to play golf and other sports that require repetitive arm movements. What’s worse is that more often than not, the pain caused by this condition spreads to the shoulder and neck and radiates to the hands and fingers. It could sideline you for days or even weeks if you’re unable to treat it immediately.

  3. Preventing Golfer’s Elbow Prevention, they say, is better than cure. If you don’t want to experience the excruciating pain caused by medial epicondylitis, here are some pointers you should consider to avoid golfer’s elbow.

  4. Fortify your forearm muscles Strengthen the muscles in your forearms by using light weights or by simply squeezing a tennis ball. Performing simple exercises can help, too. By fortifying and strengthening your forearm muscles, they can easily absorb and withstand the energy of sudden physical stress that often causes golfer’s and tennis elbow.

  5. 2. Warm up before playing Take the time to do some warm-ups before your activity. For instance, you can walk or jog around for a few minutes to get your muscles used to doing vigorous physical activities later on. You should also gently stretch your limbs before starting your game.

  6. 3. Make sure your form is correct No matter what sport you’re playing, always make sure that your form is correct. Ask your coach or instructor to check your form to avoid bad posture and overloading on your muscles that can cause serious injuries.

  7. 4. Upgrade to newer equipment If you’re playing golf or tennis with older equipment, you should consider switching to newer sports equipment. For golfers, you should trade your old clubs for lighter graphite clubs. As for tennis players, avoid using tennis racket with a small grip or a heavy head as it could lead to elbow problems.

  8. 5. Rest when it’s time to rest Golfer’s elbow occurs when you overuse the muscle in your forearms. As such, when you start experiencing pain in your elbow, take a few days off from playing to give your elbows some time to heal and to prevent your injury from getting worse.

  9. Consider Wearing a Brace You should also consider wearing a golfers elbow brace. How to wear it? You should consult a doctor or physical therapist to ensure that the brace is worn properly and will provide you with the results that you are expecting.
