I'm a bodybuilder. I got it on both arms 1,5 years ago. Totally stopped training, back then, because it got to painful. I was totally overtraining back than. I Started training 2 months ago again. A few weeks back it started on one arm slightly again. First stretched but didn't helped. Than I started to do every day flexing with a small dumbell on a table and turning also the dumbell. Now the irritation is totally gone and can go to max overload in my back exercises again. So happy again 😊.

[@hansdegebruiker1968]

@@PrecisionWellbeing Update. It is almost totally gone. I also started to slightly massage the muscle daily for a few minutes from the elbow towards the hand and added some biceps curls exercises with the palm towards the floor. This gives me more strength in my lower arms. Only during some heavy exercises, it is getting sensitive. But 1,5 hours after the exercise it's ok. The only moment I notice it, is when I wake up from my sleep. I have the habit to turn on my back and put my hands behind my head. Somehow this gives tension to my elbow. But when I take a shower and warm up the area around the elbow it's gone again.

​@@hansdegebruiker1968 I've got it in both arms also. Had it since July last year and had to stop the gym.Can you tell me which flexing exercises you did? Is it the ones in this video where they are done on the couch or standing curls? Its such a bad injury to get!! Thanks

This is the single best explanation ive heard on golfers elbow. I've been dealing with this pain for over 10 years. Now in this video i learned that I've been irritating it the whole time taking one step forward,,two steps backward type of thing. I will follow these steps and take my time.

[@MegaAltonator]

This has really helped me. I've had golfer's elbow for around 5yrs and couldn't seem to make any progress. Watched your video and also at the same time I managed to find out what was causing the RSI - I work using a laptop all day, and my right wrist is essentially over rotated. I bought an upright mouse to use which has prevented what was causing the pain. This has now subsided with the combination of using ibuprofen gel before and after working at the laptop. I followed your stretching routine and have now moved on to strengthening using progressively heavier weights. I am now nearly 100% free of the pain which is fantastic, so thank you very much for making this video!!!!!

[@timessitnelli9793]

hello i would like to hear more updates from you please and did the doctor advise you to not over use ibuprofen much like mine did ? i want to know if other doctors have other opinions on using it .

[@hanky9918]

Not the person you're replying to, but excess ibuprofen can delay healing. Inflammation is part of the healing process meaning excessive ibuprofen use or and even excessive icing can slow down recovery.

I've done PT for this years ago, got better and stop the maintenance and now years later the pain has come back.

[@bethk1402]

This is the best explanation I have seen so far of golfer's (and tennis) elbow and which muscles are involved. Thank you for these videos! I've only recently been having trouble with my elbow due, I think, to an increase in mileage while Zwifting. Yes, indeed, elbow injury while riding a bike indoors. Sigh. Would you consider doing a video on how the triceps connect to the elbow? I have pain on the inside, outside and back of the elbow and part of the triceps is tender. I assume it is all due to my less than ideal bike position (which I am trying to dial in) and am working back from the elbow to try to figure out what the issue really is. I love your arm model! It is incredibly helpful to see the muscles, tendons, and bones in 3D. I was finally able to understand which of my muscles are likely involved by seeing where they run any where they are attached. Thanks again!

[@marcoadelporto]

I completely agree. Best explanation ever. I got Golfer's Elbow and just started my treatment based on their explanation. Thanks

[@jaxonellis2995]

The flexor group is attached to the medial epicondyle. The named conditioned is such because as you repeatedly swing your golf club, you tense or engage those flexor muscles, thus pulling on that epicondyle. Because most people have not done prerequisite strengthening to that part of the arm it will not be structurally stable and strong enough for the torque generated by a golf swing or other repetitive motions. Tightness equals weakness. The body's attempt to protect the fragile aspect of the elbow under stress, causes connective tissue to develop and muscles and tendons to stick together, all the while trying to provide stability for the elbow. As that occurs, muscles are not able to function normally. Muscles and tendons that are now stuck together cause overcompensation with tightening and shortening. This pull on the epicondyle is what causes the discomfort of golfers elbow.

[@rickwatkin8761]

Have the same problem with my elbow fell down stairs carrying a puppy And l lost loads strength in my tricep because of it. Worst motion is putting my gear stick in reverse.or tricep pull down.

[@jaxonellis2995]

@@rickwatkin8761 The body will respond to injury by protecting the injury site with the accumulation of connective tissue and muscle tightening. To rehab you must slowly begin to strengthen the entire muscle system. The people best suited for this are performance specialist that do functional mobility post injury.

Fantastic video. You just helped me so much with understanding the physiology of my elbow area and then using the ball to work the area. That was as good as going to my massage person and I did it myself and could feel the different muscles in the area and several that were "ground zero". I delicately applied pressure with the ball and then let the muscle relax and worked my way up to the shoulder area. Then I tried out the elbow joint and it feels so much better. The only other thing I've been doing that has helped is using good salves on the elbow area. That definitely helped reduce the swelling I had early on. I've been using castor oil and comfry and arnica salves. All great. And I do play pickleball and golf and didn't know until today that I have "golfers elbow." Blessings to all and happy healing..

[@CLJCL]

I think one of the most overlooked everyday repetitive motions that causes elbow pain/ discomfort is using your phone for various reasons that everyone does every day. Especially texting. Cases of golfer's and tennis elbow pain is increasing and it has nothing to do with either sports. That's why I'm here watching the video, lol. Hope everyone finds relief from the pain. Cheers and Happy New Year.

I got mine ( both elbows ) from overtraining pull ups and preacher curls. It didn’t bother me until I got into my middle 40’s. I’m in my 50’s now and take longer to heal in general.

I agree, this is the most helpful video! I do a lot of craft hobbies, and some put my inner elbow into pain, some the outer elbow. Have done so for years. Your videos are incredibly useful because of the multi part strategy to reduce pain, relax muscles, then strengthen. It’s practically impossible for me to stop the hobbies (they’re my stress release), so I’m going to try to work in the stretches while reducing the hobbies to where they don’t hurt me. I also try to pay attention to which movements cause further pain, and reduce those movements.

[@WyandWombat]

Really great video. This is probably the most common non-acute injury for rock climbers and information on what to do with it is pretty hard to come by. Especially since rock climbers usually have very strong forearm flexors, you'll usually finde some success with stretching those very tight muscles, but in regards to follow up strengthening it's hard to come by anything useful. The typical tyler twist is often useless since the resistance provided is far beneath anything you are used to with even light climbing. I have had some success with wrist curls using somewhat heavier weights or just dead hangs with one or two arms that get the intensity just right so you start to feel something in the arm. What's also working really great to stimulate it in a controlled manner are wrist rollers, where you grab a thick bar that has weights attached to it through a cord that is wrapped around the bar, so it creates torque through the bar which you have to counteract with the wirst. Rollers for one arm work better as you have the rotation of the forearm as a degree of freedom and you can experiment with that.

[@mindfulmagician7550]

I've also got golfers/climbers elbow from climbing and the pain has been chronic these past few months. Can you elaborate more about the wrist rollers? Do you have them in underhand or overhand position? And how would it even work with one arm? I think you have to use two arms, no?

I ll follow your exercises for both problems and I hope I finally return to my workouts sometime next year cause it took a lot for me

[@dereksawle]

Loved the clear explanation, also referencing the anatomical model of the arm. I understand golfers elbow so much now, thank you so, so much. Have developed mine from playing too much tennis and squash over a short period at a late age. Believed it initially to be tennis elbow, but realised pretty soon it was on the wrong side of the arm to be tennis elbow.

[@EM-fi2qg]

Thank you for this video. Best explanation and therapy explanation I have found. I hang drywall for a living. Im 6'6" so I rarely use a ladder. My arm is extended high above my head and my wrist is twisted 90 degrees while pushing hard into the screw with a heavy screw gun. I'm almost certain this is what caused my golfers elbow injury. I bought a brace, so we'll see how that goes. I have to go back to work tomorrow for more punishment.

Great video. I was doing too many pushups and developed this pain. It's been a few months and the pain has down quite a lot, and seems to be okay after warming up my elbow, but it is still tender to the touch. I will definitely be doing the stretching, massage, and pinky curls. Thank you!!!

[@ivanuriegas3905]

@@PrecisionWellbeing Yes, I took a break from orchestra to focus on trying to work on the condition. I've begun to gently stretch, and doing some hot and cold water therapy afterwards before going to bed. I'll take it easy. I didn't know the mechanism of the condition and was doing more agressive stretches and massage that further irritated the tendons. It makes a lot of sense now in my mind how the condition works and how it needs to heal in a certain way in which the scar tissue won't re-tear because it healed in a way in which the muscle can stretch.

[@ivanuriegas3905]

It was very puzzling that the elbow felt good and strong sometimes and just a session of playing would irritate it and then what was supposed to help it irritated it further. Now I understand what's happening and I'm really thankful for that. I'm still planning to visit the local physiotherapy center but will keep what I learned in your video in mind. A doctor diagnosed me with the condition but was not able to articulate to me the mechanism of the injury quite as it is explained in your video. It makes a lot of sense now. Thanks.

I've had Golfers & tennis elbow in both arms for over 2 years now & gave up my job to repair myself. I've been doing hammer curls & stretches . I recently found out that it is eccentric exercises that strengthen the tendons not concentric ( game changer). Also I cut down on refined carb's. Thanks for the video too It is one of the better ones out there that I've seen. Can you also do an updated one on tennis elbow & maybe mention eccentric exercises ? Also I'm now taking vit C to improve my collagen production to heal the tendons. I'll also try TD's tip on cutting out night shade veg Still not quite perfect but almost there.

I'm 32 ears old . And before i have just one tennis elbow on left hand. I doesn't go to gym and not make exercise, and after 4 month i have tennis elbow on right hand. And after 1 month i have 2 tennis elbow and 2 golfing elbow. I dont understand WHY. It's very bad( can't leave free. Always feel pain(((

[@simonscott5104]

@@dj_iceman_31 I not sure that this will help you but I would notice that my golfers & tennis elbow would hurt more after driving . I noticed this not long after I bought a different car (VW Golf TDI) I think it might have had something to do with the hard steering wheel , heavier steering ,the angle of my wrists ( I think they should be straight & not bent when gripping something ie steering wheel). Also maybe the angle of the seat as I've heard that a Golf has it's driving seat not quite square with the windscreen. The Golf is made in Germany but I live in England & the English Golfs' have had their steering wheels changed from a right hand drive to a left hand drive . I can't be sure but I have heard of some people not being comfortable with the angle of the driving position. Also I saw on google that some truck drivers have golfers/tennis elbow. I haven't been driving much during lockdown so I'm ok but I'm thinking of getting some kind of padding on my steering wheel . If my golfers/tennis elbow comes back after driving more I might change cars.

Was diagnosed with golfers elbow and yes it’s very painful. Was assaulted back 1977 as a young 16 year old, as a result injured my spinal cord. Been confined to a wheelchair for 45.5 years. Our bodies were not designed to push a wheelchair. This video explains better than my doctor. Waiting for a elbow compression sleeve and really hoping it helps with the pain. Just turning the elbow to simply wash my hair stops me dead in my tracks. Doing chair transfers have to be slow and careful. Thanks for this video !

[@sy1652]

First of all thank you very much for the clear and concise explanation. It's very much appreciated! I just have two questions about this. 1.) My tennis- and golfers elbow popped up in the last training session, but I am at a 5/10 pain right now. Should I start with the massage part right away or do stretching and massage? 2.) Also I'm doing mma as a sport. If I would continue the training, how would I go about fixing the problem? Do I warmup and stretch before/after training? I would really appreciate the help, if you have the time! Thank you

[@NERD-ROBOT]

Thank you for your video. I have been a weight lifter for over 30 years. I've always had a bit of pain in my elbows and shoulders when I first start lifting after taking some time off. This time the pain in the elbows didn't go away. I've taken a few months off, but with no stretching or strengthening, like in your video. The pain is zero when I'm not using my arm, but can feel it even if I wash my hair. If I list weights I can certain feel it. It was very tender to touch, but now is about a 4 to touch. My question is can I go into the stretching/strengthening phase right away? I can feel it if I turn my wrist facing out and lean back. I don't feel much with the ball though. With the weights using your technique with 5lbs, I can feel the golfers elbow...doesn't really hurt, but I feel it. Like it's letting me know if I do more it might hurt. What would you recommend from this point? Thank you!

Hello there, thank you for this video and explaining. Really helpful, i have been experiencing the exact pain you are describing in this video. I am very active in the gym and do a lot of weight lifting and for the past month or so, this pain has been effecting my workouts. Certain workouts especially, like pull ups, rows and even bicep curls. I took 8-10 days off and the pain has reduced but started working out again for the past 4-5 days after my rest and it’s starting to come back. Today i could not finish my bie workout as it was quite painful. But when i rest, it’s not that painful. My question to you sir, is if i do these stretches will help even if I continue to workout 6 days a week? Or will working out effect my recovery? Really appreciate your efforts and time and looking forward to be hearing from you.

Best video regarding elbow I´ve seen so far! I´m from germany and saw at least five 20min videos - they all lack the most relevant information regarding timing for instance. Frequencies. How often... I also liked the presentation of the model of the right arm to vividly illustrate where all the tendons and muscles are exactly. I´ve got the golfers elbow for more than 2 years now and it´s still there even with less pain. Additionally I got now about 3 month ago acutely the tennis elbow... my biggest mistake seems to be I´m rushing the excercises. I´m doing exactly the things this video says I should NOT do and especially not too often. I´ll restart now taking these advices into account. I have one additional question: What about supporting the whole phase with kinesiological tapes?

[@nickbromell6209]

This was excellent. Very helpful. I am going to radically change what I've been doing to deal with the golfers elbow that started3 months ago. I would say I am in Phase 2/maybe moving into Phase 3. I don't experience steady pain, and I don't think I ever did. Just minor pain when I stress the joint in certain ways (like light curls) and ALWAYS some pain when I put some finger pressure on the bumpy bone itself. Pain stops as soon as I stop. I have become able to do some light lifting, curls etc (10 lbs max), and I feel mild pain as I move through the pain zone, but it goes away instantly. Some minor soreness the next day, nothing serious. Nonetheless, watching your video I've decided I'm overdoing it, being impatient, going too fast, so I'll slow down. Here's my question: my "test" for improvement/being cured (one day), is to press my palms together isometrically, starting with palms to chest and slowly extending arms. I always feel some pain in the injured elbow, none in the other. Will I be "cured": when both elbows feel exactly the same? and do you think this isometric exercise, if not done excessively, is a good addition to phase 3? Thanks so much, Nick
