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 😊.
how long did proces last for u
@@rioferdy6678 it took around 2 months before it was totally gone. It stays a weak spot, so I keep doing weekly therapeutic exercises.
I am really happy to hear that you have made steps towards recovery!! Please do continue to update me on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
@@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
I'm unemployed, physio was out of the question, it’s $100 cash a session. This video had exactly what i needed, it’s brilliant and i appreciate it a lot.
I'm very glad to hear the video was informative and the stretches are helping. Best Wishes, Ashley.
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!
Hi @E. Klawun,
You're absolutely welcome! I'm really glad to hear the video was informative. Its great that you appreciate the hand models; I find they are essential in getting my patients to picture and further understanding the cause of the pain.
Also, Thank you for the video suggestion! I will definitely consider this for future videos. If you haven't already, please feel free to subscribe and click on the notification bell to be notified when I do release new videos. I hope you continue to make improvements! Please keep me posted. Best wishes, Ashley.
I completely agree. Best explanation ever. I got Golfer's Elbow and just started my treatment based on their explanation. Thanks
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.
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.
@@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.
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. Thank you for making this video!!!
You're absolutely welcome @Mickey! I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with golfer's elbow. Please keep me posted on your progress. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you Ashley Ridout! Fantastic video, super informative, and your empathy for the patient is even evident over video! Too bad I live in the US otherwise I’d love to be treated by your clinic!
Great topic, and well covered. Keep these coming
Thank you! I hope you found the video helpful. Best wishes, Ashley
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 am a climber. Watched many videos on this topic. This one is by FAR the best. Thank you!
You're most welcome Alex! I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.
I hurt my elbow climbing too. Does it ever heel? Lol. Been hurt for 9 months
@@deyo7s I also got Medial epicondylitis from climbing/finger boarding. I have had it for about a year and for the past 4 ish months I’ve gotten really serious about getting better. I’ve tried tons of the stretches and strengthening exercises online as well as i am now going to physical therapy(which is most of the same stuff). And as far as I can tell it hasn’t improved much. I haven’t really tried resting it, but I’ve been told by sports medicine doctors that it doesn’t generally help. I don’t mean to discourage you, I’m simply just as lost :(
@@JustinDKim well that sucks. I think rest has helped, but I haven't really tested it climbing again. Tbh I'm scared to...
Agree
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.
This is hands down the best video I've seen on this topic and I appreciate the explanation of the recovery plan as well as setting the expectations of a realistic timeframe for the process. Many thanks!
You're most welcome Sheldon! Glad to hear the video was helpful! Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
Agree
Thanks a lot very helpful and reassuring ❤
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.
Bro i ended up on opioids becouse of this pain during day iam ok but at night jesus kill me iam in constant torture untill fatigue litteraly doesnt turn me off . Iam so desperate rehabilitation doesnt work injections doesnt work i hope what you wrote will be my salvation
One of the best videos I've come accross on this topic. Explanation on point. Sweet, Simple, and Straightforward.
This video is beyond amazing! Thank you for sharing this information in an understandable, clear way. Thank you so much.
You're absolutely welcome Lori! I'm glad to hear the video was helpful. Let me know how it goes with the stretches. Best wishes, Ashley.
Wow- spot on. This has been a recurring problem for me for 10 years! Thanks for the stretching tips.
You're absolutely welcome! So glad to hear the video was helpful. Please let me know how it goes with the stretches. Best wishes, Ashley.
Seriously...you are better than my doctor. I had this issue went to the doctor; he prescribed me some pain killers.. as soon as the pain reduced I started playing batminton... I'm back to square one again with amuch swollen arm..
Didn't know this is such a big issue 🫤. Thank you,❤🙏❤️. Now I know how to listen to my body.
I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with elbow pain. Have you tried any of the exercises yet? Please do let me know which are most helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery from the PWG family Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you for your very precise details, which are a great help.
Hi @Moira Burne,
You're most welcome! Glad you found it informative. Wishing you the very best with your elbow. Best wishes, Ashley.
This is a great help. Loved when you put the model over your right arm. Man, that made it so easy to see the structure and where the injury really is. Well done! When it comes to healing and repairing tendons, slow and consistent is the fastest way to recovery and you stressed this so many times...I think even I got it. 🙂
You are most welcome. I'm glad the video was able to shed light on your golfers elbow cause. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
A lot of practical , effective info here! Thanks.
Thank you! Glad to hear the video was informative. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you I’m a floor layer and I been struggling for months. Hopefully after listening to your advice I’m finally going to sort this👍
Hi Chris,
You're very welcome! Please let me know how it goes with the stretches. Best wishes, Ashley.
Great video, thank you so much for putting it out there and for your efforts, bless you 🙏
Great moderation to the curl strengthening exercise. I had tejet surgery back in September and I still struggle with pain. This has helped me progress in a short period of time
Hi George, Glad to hear the video has been helpful. Wishing you a quick recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Best video on YT on how to address Golfers elbow, honestly that stretch advice and frequency is absolutely perfect. Thank you for taking the time to post this video :)
You are most welcome. I am glad you found the video helpful. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I appreciate all your videos, thank you for taking the time, they do help!

Excellent tutorial and set of exercises. Thank you.
You're most welcome Ben! Glad you found the video helpful. Please let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
This is outstanding! Thank you so much for posting! I've had this bothering me now for 2 years on and off, and this is the best explanation by far yet, including doctor's visits, of how to treat this.
That's great to hear! You're most welcome! Please let me know if you try any of the stretches. Best wishes, Ashley.
Hi, how is your arm doing now after doing these exercises? My dad has it on and off too and I'm wondering if this will solve it for good
I starting doing the exercises exactly as shown, and they definitely helped, and I started wearing an elbow brace.
However, the thing that made the biggest difference was switching to graphite shafts on my irons. The pain is totally gone at this point, so my recommendation would be to go this way if you can.
For me, I’ll only be using graphite shafts on my irons from now on.
@@maddog956 thank you so much for responding, I'm glad to hear that you're better and this worked out for you!
Thank you!!! You gave great instruction, and I have hope now.
You're most welcome Paul! That's great to hear. Please let me know how it goes with the stretches. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Best wishes, Ashley.

Hi Ajit. Really glad to hear that the video has been helpful. Please keep me posted on your recovery journey. Best wishes, Ashley.
@@PrecisionWellbeingDo you recommend cortisone shots? I am scheduled for one today. I’ve never dealt with this issue (golfers elbow) and it’s been over 5 months 🙁
You are excellent. Thank you. I'm not a golfer but I seem to have this and was naturally doing most of what you said by instinct but this video is brilliant. Bravo!
Thank you so much @Mark Devenpeck! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Please let me know how it goes with the stretches when you try them. Best wishes, Ashley.
How did you recover?
I've had extremely bad shoulder pain which has tended to move. Had physio and pain management plan for 4 years. Recent x-ray Dr says come back normal it he's going to phone appointment soon. But I've a swollen painful joint now on inside crease of forearm and I'm thinking it could be what you describe. I'm left handed and it's that side of body. So probably irritating it using left arm for chores etc and writing. Probably repetitive. Can't get to even see a Dr. But I'll look into this for now gently. You described very well. Thank you very much x
Thorough and informative beyond any other videos I’ve watched. Thanks!
You are most welcome Linda. Really glad to hear that the video has been helpful to you! Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you for your video. It was very helpful curing my injuries during smash in tennis game. ❤❤❤
You are welcome! Glad you found the video helpful. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
I jumped right to doing those curls and was finding it wasn't helping. That ball press on the elbow made a difference immediately. Thank you!!
You're most welcome @Bolen Arrow! Glad to hear the video helped. Best wishes, Ashley.
thanks for the video! im pretty depressed cuz i used to do a lot of workout where my elbow was involved. now it hurts a lot and i hope i can get better soon. question: do you recommend any tool to immobilize the zone? or any cream?
greetings from chile
that was a very impressive explanation. You did a great job and thank you for being detailed
You're most welcome Mark! I'm glad to hear you found the explanation informative. Please let me know if you try any of the stretches. Best wishes, Ashley.
Excellent detail explanation of the golfers elbow pain location using anatomy model and fantastic demonstration of various exercises to alleviate the pain and to heal the elbow. The video was extremely helpful to fix my elbow problem. Many Thanks .
Thank a lot for the great explanation!! I have been having this issue since 1 year, and I had a few cortisol shots applied. My problem was gone for 1-2 months and then appeared again(after each shot).
Currently I have been out of physical activity for 50-60 days. I would describe my pain like 2-3/ 10 and thats not all the time. And my injury happened after performing high reps of pull-ups and one-hand pull-ups. I will start stretching and strengthening ASAP. Hopefully everything will be fine in a few months. Thanks a ton!
Update? Did you do these recommendations and how is your elbow? Healing?
This is extremely helpful. Started boxing and doing chin ups on a daily basis- at 42. Pad holding, weight lifting, and boxing has taken a toll on my elbows. Although I’ve suffered with golf elbow in the past, successfully treating it, your explanation made rehab much clearer. Sometimes less is more. Thank you.
Yes, seems like playing golf irritates it, then for gym it's curls, and pull-ups that hurt.
I watched many videos on this and I find your explanation and exercises are more than excellent. Not a golfer but and off road motorcycle and mountain bike rider.
Thank you very much! Glad you found the video helpful! Let me know how it goes with the stretches. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thanks for this in-depth video. Over the years I've had a lot of things that hurt a lot more than golfer's elbow, but having golfer's elbow is the worst because it stops me doing the things I want to do. I'm losing muscle mass because I just can't do anything in the gym that involves arms - which pretty much rules out upper body workouts.
I am having this pain right now... I will follow everything what you said and will come back after a month if pain really goes away.. Thanks for the information :)
Hi there , how did it go ?
I stopped heavy lifting then only I saw some results and its pain is there but less than before.. but stretching is really helpful.
@@ShaggyD09 I’m trying to do the same , less jiu jitsu and only lower body workout , with rotating my arm and stretching I’m feeling it’s on way to recovery
This was really helpful. The best video I've seen on the topic. Very helpful to have a timeline. It's easy to get discouraged with something that takes this long to heal.
Hi Austin,
Thank you so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I agree with you; timelines are very useful, especially so when it comes to the stretches and exercises to be done. Wishing all the best, Ashley.
Clean explanation I have seen about Golfers Elbow. I am having slight pain right now and I am going to implement what you suggested. Thank you so much
I have always thought I had tennis elbow but turns out it’s golfers elbow. I’ve had this for years and it’s been painful and very frustrating as it never seems to go away. Thank you for explaining the difference. I will try the procedure you have in this video and hopefully get a good result. Thank you
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
This is the first video I found where they actually point the the medial epicondile or whatever lol.
This spot kills me during push ups and dips. I can feel my tendon slip back and fourth around that joint.
Glad I found this.
Glad you that the video has been helpful. Please let me know how it goes with the stretches and exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
Great video, I loved the amount of details and the clarity. Thanks for the effort.
I still have one question, do these phases mean I have to halt my workouts at the gym? Bench press, curling, squats...?
Thank you again
Excellent explanation, thank you. Using a pain gel for recovery between the exercises, is it helpful?
What a comprehensive video -- including therapy advice. I got this same pain, I don't know if it's repetitive motion of brushing teeth, or wiping counters, but it seems every movement stresses this inner elbow tendon. The stretches seem to help a lot, but I am sadden to hear how long these phases take. Thank you!
You are welcome. I hope that you continue to make improvements. Do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
So helpful. My elbow was hurting so much I was afraid I would need surgery. I appreciate being told what is going on by seeing the model. I will be happy to do the stretching and exercises and hope to get results. Thank you so much.
You're absolutely welcome Cynthia! I'm truly happy to hear the video has proved helpful. Please do let me know how it goes with the stretches. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Did it get better ?
Need update, got it today
Did the the exercises help?
Thank you! Exactly what I needed. I am in the chronic stage, and this video is so much more complete than anything else I have found. I am. I am very hopeful that this will get me back on track.
You're most welcome. I'm glad the video shed light on your Golfers elbow pain. Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
Perfect video man! Explained everything i need to know! THANK YOU👊🏻💙
You're welcome. Glad to hear that it helped! Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you! I am a janitor and lift many small trash cans from offices in school- mostly plastic and not very full 5 days a week. The pressure of ball on site of pain and thorough explanation of healing time and what the body goes through helped me IMMENSELY! May God bless you and your practice and all your patients!
I'm sorry to hear about your pain troubles. I'm glad to hear the exercises help. Best Wishes, Ashley
Thank you so much. My son is 16 and plays baseball and seems to have Golfer's elbow. We are through the first phase and not clear if we are in phase 2 or 3. I will be working with my son tonight to assess where he is. He is anxious to play again, he stopped throwing the last few months and has only been batting a little bit. He has been icing and taking anti-inflammatories and has been wearing a sleeve. I have also had some sports therapy massages for him. Thank you for making this video and we will be using this video for his healing.
I'm happy the video was informative. How is your son doing? I'm hoping he has made some improvements over the year, please let me know. Best Wishes, Ashley
Your explanation is extremely clear and helpful. Thank you for the sharing.
Hi Diana,
You're most welcome! Glad to hear the video was helpful. Best wishes, Ashley.
This is excellent! I’m on my way to healing this issue and I now really understand it thanks to you! ❤
Did it work?
Great video. Ive watched a million videos on golfers elbow. Ive had this for 2.5 years, had to have 18 months off work, had 3 PRP injections and 2 cortisones in each elbow, right now I'm pain free in my day to day life but if I go to the gym or manual work its back in an instant, Ive been stretching and just slowly introducing some strength training every other day now, I really hope I can get back to normal
Fuck, that sounds horrible...is it better now?
In the end, how did you fix it?
@@julianfiedler5372 unfortunately it has never got better, its been 5 years now, ive been unable to find the right treatment, I really miss lifting weights at the gym and have to miss out on quite a few things. its really frustrating
@@psyico3577 unfortunately I haven't yet, im still trying 5 years later, just about to try another Physio
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.
I am in the same position. I boulder and exercise in the gym and I already injured the tendon 2 time and waited for a week each time. Sould I completely stop arms workout ( and bouldering completely ) and just do rehab for 4/6 weeks before starting again?
Absolutely wonderful thank you SO much for this! 🙏👌I have CP, so much going wrong and no physio support. I feel reassured by you🙏
You're most welcome Zoe! Glad to hear the video was helpful in a way! Best wishes, Ashley.
Brilliant! I am really suffering and this puts into perspective and I can make a plan. Thank you!
Great video ! Mountain biker here. I don’t recall a really painful initial stage, but for months just a low level irritation…and only when I finish a ride, or lift my bike. My PT said not to stretch. The pain is not noticeable at all until I ride. Also recovering from a broken wrist (other hand).
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(((
@@vovaklim8760 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.
Any updates on the injury?
@@Psychedelic430 sorry for the late reply .Yes I'm alot better now I'm back doing physical work for over a year now. Sometimes I get pain in my elbows when I fall asleep with my arms bent under my pillow so i try to keep them relaxed and straight when i sleep and when i drive i try to use both arms equally and not put too much tension on just one arm .Repetitive strain at work was what caused all this drama along with a boss that wasn't very understanding .As we get older we have to be more careful with our tendons and joints. It was very kind of you to ask ...Thank you..... I realise now that our health is the most important thing we have and i hope that your health is good and you are feeling well .
@@simonscott5104 thanks for the response! 4 months already on both elbows , got it from over the head rope tricep extension. I never ever thought i could get an injury like this , it sucks so bad because i cant train. There are days im pain free and others that i cant even close my palm. I got an appoiment for PRP in 10 days hopefully it will work.
This is the most through video that I've viewed. I appreciate the excercises in each phase. THANK YOU!
You are most welcome Michelle. I am happy to hear that the video has been helpful to you. Best wishes, Ashley.
Thank you so much for this great video. Well explained. Really appreciated your hardwork. I had this problem since 3 weeks.
You're most welcome Jancy! I am glad you found the video insightful. All the best in your recovery journey. Best wishes, Ashley.
Hi, I got a complex injury in my elbow which gave me tendonitis, bursitis and cubital tunnel. It is quite interesting to see how much the exercises overlap for all of these issues. Thank you for the video, it explained the issue very nicely.
You're absolutely welcome! I'm glad to hear you appreciate the content and flow of information. Please let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.
@@PrecisionWellbeing I have been doing physical therapy for almost 9 weeks and I'm currently on the Strengthening phase. I am doing exercises similar to what you have shown. My cubital tunnel and bursitis has calmed down. Tendonitis might take a few more weeks.
@@rakshittikoo2472 do you have an update? Is your elbow good now?
@@rakshittikoo2472 has the cubital tunnel resolved? I also have golfer's elbow and cubital tunnel....in both arms.
✨ By far ✨ the best explanation of this problem! At week 3(phase II) of trying to recover, I'm realizing this is a SLOW recovery process. Thank you for the outstanding video!

Hi Michael,
You're most welcome! Glad to hear the video was helpful! The recovery process differs from person to person; you can only improve your chances at a shorter period by being consistent and doing the right thing at the right time. Wishing you a smooth recovery. Best wishes, Ashley.
Great video. Learn a lot from this. I been having this pain for a few months now to the point where i needed to pay attention to the golfers elbow... stretches starting to work for me, but at night time I move a lot when I sleep and I use my arm to move my body and without knowing I wake up with lots of pain..
@@emmanuelrazo1261 same...after the nights the pain is the worst
What a comprehensive video. Thank you very much. 😊
My rheumatologist diagnosed me with Golfer's Elbow today and prescribed a strap and diclofenac sodium topical gel that I diligently picked up on my way home. My doc has also suggested PT. I found your video after searching for the proper placement of the strap and have saved it for the exercises. I am immunocompromised and was not looking forward to additional office visits with the current infectious climate we are dealing with. Thank you for such simple, detailed, yet still understandable information. Now, if I can just figure out what caused this so I can prevent a reoccurrence!
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! You explained exactly what I am going through currently. Did you ever find a solution to fix your pain?
Same need update
Great video, well structured plan, thank you! My only questions is that can I continue swimming and/or exercising, if it is not too painful for the elbow? Or should I refrain from using my elbow all together, maybe limit exercising to walks etc? I have been in pain for over a year now, I cannot wait to try out your recommendations, thanks again.
Did this ever work for you?
Brilliant!
Diagnosis, great explanation, treatment.
Key tip: Patience.
Much thanks!

You're most welcome @Neeraj Agarwal! Glad to hear the video was informative. I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.
What if the inflamation has lasted about 3 weeks and i still can't bend my ellbow to reach my face? I ve been taking antinflamatory meds 2 times a day..
May have to be really careful.. I have had some success with icing to reduce inflammation. Then I relax it a while before putting on Deep Blue Rub.
Thanks! Best video I've seen on the topic. I'm in the 1st Phase. Today when golfing it was by far the worse pain and have now started to ice area and realized I cannot golf until this is healed. (getting worse). I'm just icing it now and will start stretching when pain subsides.
Appreciate this!

Glad it was helpful! Best Wishes, Ashley.
It seems to me to be the most complete and explanatory video on medial epicondylitis... and I've seen a ton on youtube. All other videos explain it crudely, without analyzing the causes, timing and intensity.
I'm a calisthenics practitioner (I started 7 months ago, still a beginner) and I've had this problem in my elbow for a few months (probably due to poor movement execution, ultra intensity, lack of flexibility), and it's really annoying, I had to stop all my activities that involved the arms, because even push-ups were stressing the tendon (although it didn't cause pain when doing the movement). In fact, the only movement that actually caused pain when performing were chin ups, and later pull ups, but I noticed that after that any other high-intensity exercise stressed the tendon.
Anyway, thanks for the video!
Great job on packing so much useful information into one video.
Thank you! Glad you found the video informative. Best Wishes, Ashley.
Excellent explanation can't thank you enough as thru your video I have discovered why pain I'm in and what it is called 🙏
You're most welcome Pal! I'm so glad to hear you found the video helpful. Have you already tried any of the stretches? Please do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
thankyou so much for the great explanation and advice. I have a golf elbow and stopped tennis for 7 weeks but only played golf, now I play both but need 1 or 2 day rest in between. It hurts a lot at night, not so much while playing.
Great video with lots of good advice. I've been stretching for a few weeks and it seems to be getting better, even though I am in the construction field, I have to use my right arm for hammering, and yes I'm still playing golf. No relapses as of yet, but keeping an eye on my body as the excessive pain has not come back as of yet. Thanks again!!!
You are most welcome! I am glad to hear that the stretches has been helpful towards your recovery journey. Pleased do keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
I cannot think of a better explanation of golfers elbow than yours, even though I am a non English speaking person. Thank you very much.
By FAR the best video for explicative and rehab for golfer (pull up) elbow
Thank you so much! Glad to hear the video was informative. Please keep me updated on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.
