Golfer Elbow

Golfer’s elbow is a general term for pain/discomfort/tightness at the inside of the elbow. This is not a very specific diagnosis. “Golfer’s elbow” can be caused by any one of the muscles of the medial(palm side) of the forearm.

As with most injuries to the musculoskeletal system this pain syndrome can be caused by muscle, nerve, ligament or tendon. This area is especially complicated by the fact that muscles from the area of the biceps are crossing the elbow joint.

It is very important to get lasting results with this type of injury to work with someone who knows exactly how the tissues are supposed to function and to get a very specific diagnosis. Active Release providers have this knowledge and will assist you to better understand your injury and how to resolve it quickly and efficiently.
