Omg. I am a pitcher who has had chronic golfers elbow for 4 years (basically all throughout highschool) and not a single physical therapist has ever done this or even mentioned it. I thought I was gonna have to do surgery. Can’t believe I just found a cure for me to keep playing the game I love without a constant fear of when the pain is going to come back. Very very grateful.

[@shahidnyker2900]

Did it work? Or are you still suffering 2 years later?

[@devilmayguns]

Holy shit, this made an immediate difference for me. I’ve got golfers elbow from powerlifting (bench press as always) and it was starting to get in the way really bad. So glad I came across this video when I did.

[@kayaeki]

It's paining for 3 months now, I'll try these! How's it working for you guys??

[@Necemous]

@@kayaeki Didn't help much. Providing you do powerlifting, it ain't gonna help. You just have to stop and wait for it to heal.

That’s why I’m here right now !!!

[@seanw.587]

Did anyone get any solution I got inner elbow pain from wrestling when someone chopped my inner elbow and the trauma is causing pain with certain exercises any solutions it’s been like this for abt a year

[@Greg_Chock]

@@seanw.587 If you have pain from acute injury you should really see a doctor/specialist.

[@cherrywilson6267]

This has been the most useful advice I have had. After two years of pain, using this treatment has worked AMAZING, I can not thank you enough. Yes, it HURT bad when I first started but now it doesn’t and the relief is a blessing. THANK YOU

[@mattdarwin6497]

This is insane. Ya'll just cured me!! I've been battling this for the past year and it has been interfering with my daily activities as well as fitness. I was on the verge of spending several hundred for an MRI and getting surgery. After about 5 minutes of this massage stuff, 80% of the pain is gone. So happy right now!!! Thanks guys!

[@nair7911]

Please tell me exactly how you did it.

[@sampejke]

ahh all these fake stories about instant curement

[@FrederickDunn]

Absolutely PERFECT advice, THANK YOU!!! The re-injury that brings it back over and over again is something that I now understand. That cross-tendon massage actually brought a lot of immediate relief and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that!

[@BetrayedYT]

FR is feels way better now, ima keep doing this for as long as i need

[@calebfisaha7703]

Got my golfer’s elbow from jui jitsu and it’s been a drag for a week now, but thanks to you guys, already feeling better after massaging the elbows💯

[@kampfpiper3853]

bro im watching this right now because i hurt my elbow during rolling yeterday how long did yours heal?

[@sanher20]

This totally works. I had intense forearm for 6 months and after just doing this for one day the pain was gone. Thank you very much.

[@Deblonde57]

Oh you guys, I could hug you right now!!! I am a housekeeper for a large retirement company and have just started having elbow pain EXACTLY where you described in the video for golfers or tennis elbow! using your technique, it started going away almost immediately! I was icing my elbows while looking for help via the internet and I am so glad your video popped up. It is a life saver!! Thank you so very much!

Thank you so much for your video, this helped tremendously! I haven't been able to do curls and chin ups w/o a lot of pain for the last 6 mos. I have much respect for PTs, and the knowledge they have of healing and prevention of muscular injuries.

[@fanzarelli1319]

You guys are aweasome. You helped me get through tennis elbow a couple years ago. And now I'm having some minor golfers elbow. Thank you for the free information on treating these issues

[@Joshuatheservant4jesus]

Thank you for your videos. You have helped me big with some major issues. God bless.

[@mikalstole1602]

Thank you for this video. I was suffering from the golfers elbow and it was tender to the touch and getting worse. The cross fiber friction massage was effective. The most helpful point was that it should initially hurt but it starts to get better after 10-15 seconds. The explanation of the scar tissue also helped for the visual. Thank you. Great video.

[@Rioretti]

you guys have great chemistry, very helpful and easy to understand videos. Thank you

[@DVToxico]

What if you get golfers elbow on the other arm from massaging the first injury arm

[@DonaldGaron]

Means you had it for a while on both arms

[@Jake1067]

Thanks for the upload gentlemen, much appreciated. I applied this same technique from your tennis elbow vid and it worked great it's simple and very effective. Thank you.

You guys are great this isn’t the first video of yours that’s helped me a lot!

[@paulhenkel8578]

Thanks. I train in and teach boxing and Muay Thai; and had developed this in the left forearm from doing left hooks. I wasnt even able to hold pads to train students. Five days into your Tx (3-4x daily, ~1 min per Tx) and the pain has disappeared. Best wishes!

[@BatandBallCricket]

Thanks for this video guys. My discomfort had been baffling me for a couple of weeks until i watched this video. Thanks.

[@mckaylamaroney8841]

Thank you for what you guys do! I just tried this massage therapy out (using my knuckles instead to dig deeper and not get tired out as fast) and my pain is considerably less than what it was originally. After a few minutes of rest, I do start to feel the original pain again, but it does appear to be to a lesser extent. I will continue to use this method along with the flexbar and normal stretching and report back in a few weeks time. I've had this issue for over a year now and this, so far, has been the only thing that actually lessens the pain and weakness in my grip. Stretching and other exercises I've tried just don't seem to work, so I'm really thankful I found you guys! Thanks again!

[@CrimeDoesNotPay]

Any update on your progress?

[@JaydonRose]

I like this one. Short and to the point... Thanks👍🏻😁 relieved my Elbow pain in 60 secs. WOW...!

[@mattiesmith1]

I had my ulna nerve surgery a year ago and then I had pain in that area after a workout. Doing my research I figured out that I had Golfer,s Elbow and was relieved because it has gotten better after ice, stretches and the finger exercises you stated after a week. I will go back to the gym but will be taking it easy until it has completely healed. Thank you for this video it helped me so much.

Yep. A LOT of repetitive pronation/supination and flexion/extension with knitting. Do regular stretches before and after knitting sessions to help maintain the recovery.

[@EvianzMom]

I am 40 and just started training jiu jitsu 4 months ago. I began having this inside elbow pain for about 2 months now. It feel like fire that spreads down. I am glad I found your video! After researching, I believe my lats are weak and stiff so I’m incorporating stretching for the lats and some isometric strength on the muscles around the elbow. But with very very light weight. Like 2 lbs.

Thanks for this, my pain started up after a lot of pushups and PC gaming.

[@mikeemerick3642]

Hey guys, thanks for the helpful tip. I'm mid 40s and my pain started after doing chin ups. It's been hurting for months now but that massage finally helped. I think it's fascinating that although the pain is localized to my elbow, my whole body feels better after the massage.

[@garyroberts2563]

mid 60s here and chin ups don't bother my elbow but pull ups do. Neutral grip pull ups bother it as well. Never had a problem with my elbow before starting up with pull ups recently.

I did what you showed and though I hurt like heck after about a minute or two the pain was significantly less! I will continue to do the cross rubbing of the muscle till it completely stops hurting. Thanks again and God bless you both.

You are the best! I just realized how often I resort to your videos! Thank you so much! About this golf elbow thing, there's no exercises? Just the massage?

[@bobbby303]

You guys described my problem to a tee. I've had inner elbow pain for 5 weeks now. When it starts to feel a bit better I try hitting a few golf balls or work with power drills in the workshop and it flares right up again. I'm spinning my wheels. I will definitely try your method. Thank you!

Did it heal in the end Bobby? I'm 6 months in and not pain free yet😕

[@LtLegault]

I don't have elbow pain but I have/had a wrist problem. Doing this, I really felt my wrist loosen up for the first time in 8 months. Had trouble doing push ups because I felt a pinch at the wrist and I really couldn't stretch it. And I notice when I went to sleep and stretch my arm out. It didn't lay 180 degrees and kinda felt like a little tug at the elbow as it rested at 150 degree sorta. And never realized the tightness I had on my elbow. Doing this really help loosen it up and free me from some wrist pain. Thanks guys

Just went from no milking to milking 4 goats twice a day. Every day. I try to mix it up and use different angles and techniques for milking, but it's still a boatload of gripping! Huzzah for PT!

[@vStormzah]

PLEASE READ THIS MIGHT HELP YOU! - OK, so I was adamant that I had golfers elbow, given I had all the hallmarks - sore inner elbow, couldn't extend arm without severe pain etc. and the onset was literally a few days after playing a few hours of golf. It was causing me serious problems driving and doing sports, so I saw a doctor who said I had tendinitis (golfers elbow) and that i needed rest and ibuprofen to reduce any swelling. This was useless, so after a few more weeks of little improvement in the pain I went to a physio who diagnosed my issue as ulna nerve damage straight away. After two sessions of acupuncture and dry needling along the ulna nerve in my arm, my pain was relieved almost instantly. The symptoms of ulna nerve damage and golfers elbow are almost identical so please bear in mind this could be your problem! It solved my problem so it is definitely worth bringing up with your doctor or a physio. Hope this helps someone!

You guys are awesome. One recommendation for the video producer is to make sure objects are in focus, it can be distracting when things are out of focus. Also, I'd recommend a better mic to capture your guys' audio much crisper. Great info and people deserve great quality video, just throwing my two cents out there! Thanks as always for the good information and humor guys!

[@MrSilicon605]

Agreed and they are not giving a muscle show, which is completly unneccessary, las compared to other video uploads from other people.....Very vain actually... Full marks to these men!

[@VinnyLogz]

Wow! This and a Tens machine , I feel significant improvement in 2 days!!!!!!

[@SteelBlueVision]

Wow, I can feel relief immediately! Even after a mere 10-15 seconds of massage. I find that using three fingers (index, middle, and ring) around and under the bone protrusion seems to target the pain better (the ring finger does very little work, perhaps it just supports the middle finger some), assuming you can apply sufficient force with three fingers. I just discovered that using the knuckles of the middle and ring fingers seems to do an even better job, without putting strain on your fingers (i.e., you can do it longer).

[@mikeduxbury3349]

Thanks for the video! I find it easier to grip the arm with my other hand so I can use my thumb, does that work the same as using the fingers?

Hey guys, I started climbing about 6months back and have developed a pain on the inside of the elbow just like your describe here. Been doing massage but wasn't aware of the cross-fiber technique. Thanks a lot for your well made and explanatory video, hopefully this'll help me get back on the wall sooner. My 2 cents would be to get a better mic - a Zoom H1 is super cheap and gives great audio quality. Thanks again, all the best!

[@MannYgfx]

I have a quick question though, I'd really appreciate if you could give a quick answer. Yesterday my elbow was pain-free, and I did about 5 minutes of cross-fibre massage from the elbow down the entire forearm. The remainder of the day my elbow was sore, and still is today. Is this normal, and should I just continue with massage sessions? It sort of feels like I'm aggravating the issue as opposed to fixing it. Any input would be gladly appreciated!
