    This video shares a conversation in regards to golfer's elbow and general tendon rehab. Golfer's elbow or Medial Epicondylitis can be a very frustrating injury that is extremely persistent. It's a fine balance of load management and taking your time to progress back to full strength and ability. This should not be taken as medical advice and always seek advice from a qualified professional in person.

    Excellent video brother! Hammer curls did play a huge role in my recovery (or not, but I wasn’t doing much else so probably yes) - other than that, for the rest struggling: I found rows in neutral grip to give me no pain so I focused on those. There is always a way around it, but as clearly stated on this video: we got it find out for ourselves. Finally, it took me 12-14months to feel no pain at all so definitely be patient if you are going through this. Best of luck to everyone! Tom you rock ✊🏽 -Gabo

    What worked for me was tons and tons of repetitions with a light resistance band. From wrist focus, to bicep and triceps. Did this EVERYDAY, pre and post workout, regardless of what I was training. I basically always had a crazy arm pump! Few weeks/months later, I could push the intensity again with my pushing and pulling movements without any pain.
    For anyone with tendonitis here, I wish you all well. It sucks, I know ...

      @@swashy8933 I did a variety of movements, but they are all focused on strengthening the wrist and forearm muscles. Resistance bands are gold when it comes to pre/rehad. Check out some armwrestling specific excersizes. Armwrestlers are the people with the strongest and most resilient joints and muscles in the arms!
      My favorites were the basic wrist curls and pronation/supination movements. These movements give the best pump, and at low intensity. Crush a few 100 reps a day!

      @@ozguraydn8407 Hey man, firstly, I am not a trained medical practitioner, but I can give some insights. I personally have never had the morning elbow pains. All my tendonopathy pains came from overtraining, except my patellar tendonitis (I've had knee problems since early teenage years)
      In your case, it might be something a little more severe than your regular elbow tendonopathy. Could be anything from trapped nerve problems, but seeing that it occurs on both arms, every morning, I am not really sure. Could also be mild conditions of arthritis growing (genetic). Could also be due to lack of strength and mobility in the shoulders or wrists. In some cases, the joint with pain, is only at the effect of the surrounding joints being weak or immobile, which in turn, leads to overcompensation. For example - my pattelar tendonitis only started fading once I strengthened everything up and around the knee, especially the hips and upper legs. Mobility also plays a key role in the integrity of joints. Many factors contribute to these types of pains and you need to, unfortunatly, check ALL of them until you find the root cause. Luckily, there is always a way to strengthen and relief pain.

    Getting this injury was one of my best teachers! I now do two 30 - 40 minute forearm / wrist/ finger strength / strength endurance sessions a week which include pronation, supination..wrist flexion and extension..finger flexion and extension and ulnar / radial deviation..and I periodize different tools/ angles for each action. It's pretty much eradicated the golfer elbow I've had. I use wrist rollers, grip strengtheners etc. My take on it is to strengthen and increase bloodflow through all of the tissue that leads up to the joint in pain...and then work the opposite side to keep it balanced. So many muscles lead up to certain joints..so work actively through full range of motion of each of these muscles if that joint is in pain.

      Glad reading that your injury retreated and healed. 👍 I really got back into trying to learn guitar over the last year at home more, and though Ive played it on and off over the years, for some reason my right elbow, upper forearm was inflamed and horribly tight for most of this year due to playing. Rigid Downpicking, and overclenching of the forearm were culprits. Ive since tried to relax the arm as much as possible and slowly work back up speed and movement via more controlled wrist movement, and watch out for tightening up the arm in general. Im still tight (especially upon waking) but in general its a bit better.

  • @Txoldibxl

    This is the best video I found on this topic, thanks ! I got golfer's elbow about two weeks ago and it sucks. My intuition had me resting for 5 or 6 days, then returning to the gym to test what exercises were still doable with lighter loads and grip modifications while keeping the pain to about a 3. Turns out it was a good idea. Resting for long periods of time never does any good.
    Neutral grip does wonders. I can do proper hammer curls with almost the same load as before the injury with barely no discomfort. In fact, most push exercises are fine if I decrease the load by 10 or 15% which is not too bad.
    Pull exercises on the other hand are still too painful. Cable flys almost had me screaming, had to stop right away. Anyway, I'll be patient and keep playing with the range of motion and the isometric phase to see where it takes me and hopefully it'll get better with the passing of weeks.
    Also, I reckon doing 15 minutes of zone 2 cardio before resistance training could be beneficial as it increases overall blood flow through the body. Maybe not, but I'll try anyway.

    Once upon ylthe time i did some exersises on rings to show my Lil brother the form. It was quite cold outside, 15 degrees celcium or more likely even lower, i was wearing just a T shirt. I felt pain in the elbow soon and we had to finish off the training. Pain was that big that i could not do unilateral exersises like Archer push ups or just one arm push ups/assisted one arm pull up on rings. Then i went back to the basics, normal push ups and pull ups, more handstand work. Eventually, pain went off and it almost never went back, at least not in a way it was. Right now, i just feel some little discomfort in my elbows after irong cross pulls on rings (or pumps, call it whatever u like).

    The pain that doesn't show up on any scans could be myofascial trigger points in the muscles that had the tendonitis. These are painful nodules that form usually in the belly of the muscle when it's overworked or injured. They are muscle fibers stuck in the contracted position and this is where stretching and massage DOES help. Best is to see someone trained in trigger point therapy.

  • @truly.taegan
    @truly.taegan 2 роки тому +1

    If you have this injury and wanna do push ups without pain, I found bending your elbow about 3/4 and contracting your scapular (shoulder blades) the rest of the way to lower your chest rather than bending your elbow all the way which will cause pain. I also found flaring your elbows a little too much will cause pain so keep those elbows tucked by your sides if that helps.
    Yes you will be working a bit more of your back rather than triceps and chest but at least this way you can still work around it.
    If this still hurts then try what works for you and if all else fails best not to do that movement and do other exercises.

    I am following the advice of my physio and performing isometric loading for my golfers elbow. As a climber I've also been advised to avoid training lock-offs or extreme extension - both elbow positions at the opposite end of the spectrum. I've found I've been able to continue pulling exercises with less / bearable aggravation using medium thickness handles - such as gymnastic rings and the jug holds on the Beastmaker 1000 ( climbers may know this fingerboard as it's very popular - for good reason ). These handle styles take stress off my elbows - especially rings, where I find changing the angle of my hands ( supinated - pronated ) provides relief. Low rows on the TRX handles also work well. There is always some minor pain, but I expect that, and I do try to keep movements slower than I might be otherwise doing in order not to shock the tendon. My understanding is that tendons don't react well to sudden change in loading. I'm expecting slow progress though, and am keeping an eye out for other important life factors such as rest, diet and stress.

      @@mrmattjones I already wrote this in an other thread, I'll repost it here:
      For me it was firstly waiting until the acute stinging pain went away. Then starting to do forearm work in every angle possible and after that the same pulling movements as before the injury happened but with really low intensity. Neutral grip works great for me, as in hammer curls and neutral grip rows etc. I also found it's extremely important to give my elbow enough rest, like I didn't even practice playing drums the day after i trained the elbow. And then i think it's just about patience and not overdoing it again. So slowly increasing intensity each session. I was starting with very light bw-rows (almost standing upright) and now - over a year later - I am back to pullups.

    Can you do one one rehabbing a sprained flexor tendon? It's been a year and I am no more healed than when I originally injured it. It's the middle finger at the MCP joint. The Dr who's supposed to be the best at what he does just gave me the diagnosis after and MRI and no treatment what so ever. Just said it could take up to a year. Well hear we are. Now what? Do I go back? See another Dr? What do I do? I've tried to do some rehabbing at home on my own. It's how I found your channel. I focused on yoga and stretching mainly, targeting a lot in my hands, but there's not a lot out there to tell you how to rehab a hand. This injury still affects my everyday life, including work. I can't function fully in my hand. Hurts to even use a pencil No weight. No grip. No pinching. No grabbing or grasping or holding anything unless I leave my middle finger straight and use only my index, ring, pinky finger and thumb. I'm just going to cause more injury by "babying" my middle finger and overcompensating using my other ones. The middle finger is a major player (who knew) when using your hand. It's used far more than for more than flipping the bird. LoL!

    Any suggestions on how to apply these ideas to upper hamstring tendinopathy from I guess overdoing it on pancake / pike / hamstring stretches? Only a slight forward fold in pancake initiates the sensations of discomfort. I am not sure how far to go to help strengthen but not aggravate or other moves I can do to help strengthen. I am focusing on calf flexibility at the moment for pike to give the hammies a rest though - Emmets head to toe routine.

    I had pain under the back of elbow joint 6 months ago, followed by lateral forearm pain( and i misunderstood it for tennis elbow). Followed my numbness and tingling in ulnar nerve region. I've been doing rehab for tennis/golfers elbow from 6 months but none of it works. Now week ago i came to know that root cause is Muscle). I got it most probably from overdoing Dips,Push ups. Internet doesn't have enough videos for Anconeus rehab. I did some massage ball release and it swelled up.

  • @jimmahgee

    Tom, you mentioned that you reckon people in recovery should probably eat a bit more so they have everything the body needs to heal from a nutritional standpoint. This reminded me of a question I’ve been meaning to ask for a while and that’s about protein powders. I think you do use them, right? In one of your training vlogs you said that you overdid the protein a bit and that the eggs you ate were probably overkill. At the same time you were saying that eating high quality, nutrient dense whole food is best for you. How come the protein powder wasn’t the thing that was overkill then, rather than the eggs? I suppose in general I’m curious about how you see protein supplementation in the bigger picture and if your opinion has changed on it over time.
    Thanks as always for the informative content 👍

    • @BodyweightWarrior
      @BodyweightWarrior  2 роки тому +2

      You’re quite right. I think I mentioned the eggs were overkill as they were probably additions but they would be much more nutritionally valuable than the protein powder. I haven’t actually used protein powder for a few months now, just focusing on quality meat, eggs and fish (lots of it)
