Elbow pain is one of the most common injuries golfers face, often appearing as either golfers elbow or tennis elbow. Both can be frustrating, impact your game, and make every swing uncomfortable if left unmanaged. These injuries stem from overuse, technique issues, grip pressure, and even practice surfaces.

Golfers elbow affects the inside of the elbow and is linked to wrist flexion during your swing, while tennis elbow impacts the outside of the elbow, commonly the lead arm, from resisting wrist extension. Both conditions can be aggravated by factors such as practice mats, improper swing mechanics, and rapid increases in training or practice load.

Management strategies include addressing strength and movement imbalances, monitoring practice intensity, using supportive braces when necessary, and ensuring proper equipment and technique. Paying attention to load management, forearm and wrist strength, and overall swing efficiency can make a huge difference in preventing recurring pain.
