I've been waiting and waiting for you to address Golfer's Elbow! I have a chronic case and massage does really help!

[Bronxvette]

After golfing for over 25 years I have never had golfers elbow until now, your technique is working to loosen my arm and taking the pain away. Nice job guys.

[seanlarabee]

Thank guys. I play guitar and I've had a horrible time trying to sort out the various pain points I have developed in my older age. A note of interest: In my case the muscle and tendon tension is not in the forearm, but in the muscle and tendons where the tricep meets the inside of the elbow, yet the pain is the same as golfer's elbow (same spot). I started cross fiber massage on that group of muscle and tissue (at the base of the tricep) and that seems to help quite a bit.

Golfer’s elbow refers to inflammation of the wrist flexor muscles, also known as medial epicondylitis (because flexor Carpi radialis and Ulnaris originate on the medial epicondyle of humerus). I would probably maybe even suggest stretching of the wrist flexors and do some ROM exercises immediately after (especially because stretching can improve ROM)

Thanks for this great video. I developed golfer's elbow while outrigger paddling and have been sitting out of training for about 6 weeks but was still feeling about the same pain level day to day, despite stretching and resting. Two days of massage followed by ice and it's already helping me turn the corner.

That’s what I was talking about, inside of elbow! ! Thank you for doing this!

[sassafrasdinglemeyer]

Thank you for this video. I injured the inside of my elbow while lifting weights, then soon after I started playing Pickle Ball. My elbow is SO tender, I have been babying it, but knew that can’t continue. I feel hopeful that your suggestions will help me.

[rayna]

Thank you so much Bob and Brad!
I have an immediate increase in range of motion and lessening in pain after using your techniques.
I’m a newer worker for UPS and I’ll use your stretching exercises before my shifts as prevention.

[jamesjordan]

Thanks so much guys.... i learned so much from this video... i like all your vids but this is something that has plagued me from disc golf and i can already feel the relief and better circulation in my hand.

[charlieandchloekidstv]

Very useful video. I bought one to reduce my armpain, it works great and fast.

[harterbob]

Thanks for this. Suffering from this for the last several weeks, but I am seeing my physical therapist regularly, so am on the mend.

[graham]

Thanks. Informative in a kind of entertaining way. Made me laugh when the massage gun fittings fell out of their case. Not many of these kind of videos make me laugh.

Maybe someone can tell me if this makes sense: Since the healing rate is slow because there is no blood supply directly to the cells which repair the damage, the main thing is to remove any waste products due to damaged tissue removal, and replace the contaminated fluids with clean oxygenated fluids. So I'm thinking one strategy might be to put direct pressure onto as much of the affected tissue as possible, to squeeze fluid out, maintain that pressure for a little while so that the blood and lymph surrounding the tissue can carry that fluid away, then release to allow the cartilage to reabsorb fresher cleaner fluid. I'm not sure how quickly fluid would be forced out, washed away, or reabsorbed, so I don't know about the timing. Of course if the pain is intense, this might not work for some, but in my own injury the amount of pain produced by this direct pressure actually feels good.

[jeffb.]

This really helped! Great video. I do a lot of rock climbing and golfing, let’s just say my right forearm was not feeling well.

[richardgrenci]

Thank you, I already feel a difference. Very simple remedies

[tomtwells]

Yes the cross fiber treatment reduces the pain in 30 seconds. I get pain in that location from tennis. Been using ice, this is faster.

[judydurham]

I got it from sweeping / mopping houses...classic overuse injury for me. I had to use the air cast and voltaren gel.

[rebeccatrono]

I have tenderness ABOVE the elbow joint, not below, do I do the same massage there?

[fordresurrectionest]

Thanks guys. I haven't the weights because of this pain. Hopefully, this will help.🤞

[seanyounk]

If we can handle the pain, (or it is minimal), do we focus right on the tendon, or should we also hit the muscle belly for a total approach here? Thank you, guys, very much for all the wonderful advice. I'm not getting any younger and find myself on your channel more and more frequently.
