Golfers Elbow / Medial Epicondylitis

Pain in the elbow when your gripping or twisting? If it’s on the inside of your elbow then it sounds like Golfers elbow. This can be a really annoying, chronic problem that can really affect your grip strength. In addition to all the ususal golfers elbow tests and techniques, our therapists know it’s worth checking out how the shoulder is working, and if the nerves are involved, as well as looking at your posture. It’s amazing how much of the time there are issues higher up the chain meaning the elbow is put under more strain day to day. You might see the belt coming out to treat Golfers elbow, but don’t worry, it’s actually one of the more comfortable techniques. Although in really stubborn cases we sometimes need to shock it into submission with the shockwshave… and if that doesn’t do it then a steroid injection should.
