Golfer's Elbow

At Denver Sports Massage, we specialize in providing relief and relaxation to sports enthusiasts, including those who love golf. One common issue golfers face is golfer’s elbow, a painful condition that can impact your game and overall wellbeing. Our experienced massage therapists are here to help you understand this condition and how massage therapy can provide relief and improve your performance.

Understanding Golfer’s Elbow

Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is a condition characterized by pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow. This pain can sometimes extend along the forearm and affect your grip strength. Golfer’s elbow is caused by repetitive stress on the tendons and muscles that control wrist and finger movements. Despite its name, this condition can affect anyone who performs repetitive wrist and hand movements, not just golfers.

Causes of Golfer’s Elbow

The primary cause of golfer’s elbow is overuse of the muscles and tendons in the forearm, particularly from repetitive motions that place stress on the affected area. Factors that can contribute to golfer’s elbow include:

• Improper technique: Incorrect form when swinging a golf club, playing tennis, or engaging in other activities can strain your muscles and tendons.
• Insufficient warm-up: Failing to properly warm up and stretch your muscles before activity can increase the risk of injury.
• Overuse: Repeatedly using the same muscles without adequate rest can lead to golfer’s elbow.
• Age: As we age, our tendons become less flexible, increasing the likelihood of developing golfer’s elbow.
• Pre-existing conditions: Conditions such as diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis can contribute to the development of golfer’s elbow.

The Benefits of Massage for Golfer’s Elbow

Massage therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals suffering from golfer’s elbow. At Denver Sports Massage, our skilled therapists can help by:
