About the Condition

What It Is & Why It Happens

Golfer's elbow is the inner-elbow equivalent of tennis elbow — a tendinopathy of the wrist flexor tendons where they attach to the inside of the elbow.

It's actually more common in gym-goers and manual workers than in golfers. Treatment principles are the same — eccentric loading, manual therapy, technique correction.

Recovery outlook: 6–10 weeks for most cases; chronic golfer's elbow may need longer.

Common Causes

  • Heavy gripping or pulling exercises
  • Golf swing mechanics (top hand on right-handed swings)
  • Carrying heavy loads
  • Repetitive screw-driving or manual tasks
  • Sudden increase in activity volume
  • Weak forearm muscles
