Tennis & Golfer's Elbow
Golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis, is characterised by pain and inflammation inside the elbow. It can be caused by repetitive or excessive use of the forearm muscles and tendons involved in wrist and finger flexion. While the name suggests a golf-related origin, it can affect anyone engaging in repetitive gripping activities, such as using hand tools or playing racket sports.
When treating golfer's elbow, we employ various approaches. We begin with a thorough assessment and diagnosis, considering medical history, conducting a physical examination and possibly using imaging techniques. Pain management techniques like ice or heat therapy, ultrasound and electrical stimulation may be utilised. Manual therapy, including massage, joint mobilisations and soft tissue mobilisations, aims to alleviate pain and improve mobility. Stretching and strengthening exercises are prescribed to enhance flexibility and strengthen forearm muscles progressively. We may also provide technique modification and ergonomic advice to minimise strain on the affected area and suggest activity modifications or bracing when necessary. Education about golfer's elbow, prevention strategies and a personalised home exercise program are vital components of the treatment plan.
With the right combination of treatments, golfers' elbow can often be effectively managed.
