Golf Rehabilitation and Performance

In recent years, the game of golf has been evolving such that its players are becoming more powerful, more athletic, and more aware of the fact that proper biomechanics and fitness can allow them to play at the highest level without risking injury. It’s important to understand how the body’s limitations can impact a golf swing and how to address those limitations early in order to lower the risk of an injury down the road. Only a licensed professional is capable to of identifying these limitations and providing the proper means of addressing them.

Medial epicondylitis, or golfer’s elbow, is an overuse injury that occurs when the tendons of the forearm experience repetitive stress, resulting in inflammation. While golfer’s elbow is more common among golf players, it’s a condition that can affect anyone who participates in activities that require repetitive gripping or swing-like movements. Because individuals participating in golf are required to grip their golf club firmly during each shot, this activity can lead to golfer’s elbow if it becomes too strenuous for one particular area.
