Are you a golfer struggling with persistent elbow pain?
Whether it’s golfer’s or tennis elbow, these conditions can severely impact your game and enjoyment on the course. We have a simple workout routine (below) to help with this!
Elbow tendonitis seems to be more prevalent now than ever. With the rise of year-round indoor golf facilities, the popularity of racquet sports, such as pickleball, and the modern emphasis on creating speed in the golf swing, we hear more complaints of elbow pain than ever before.
Overuse, poor mechanics or technique, or insufficient joint mobility and strength can all lead to compensation of the elbows and wrists in the golf swing. The long-term fix for golfers and tennis elbows isn’t simple and requires total body fixes and swing mechanics improvement, not just at the elbow. However, as an avid golfer, an achy elbow can impair your ability to play well and enjoy the game. We know you need to improve your elbow health quickly. That’s why we’re providing you with an easy exercise routine to aid in your recovery.
What You'll Learn:
- Massage techniques for the muscles of the forearm and elbow to increase blood flow, decrease pain, and aid in healing
- Forearm and wrist stretches help you regain mobility and reduce discomfort
- Simple strengthening exercises to help build up elbow resilience so you can withstand the forces applied to them in the golf swing
For maximum effectiveness, complete this routine at least once or twice a day.
