Do you currently have pain along the inside of your elbow? Have you had it several times in the past? Why does it keep coming back?

Pain along the inside of the elbow is known as medial epicondylitis. Commonly referred as Golfer's Elbow.

Like many of you, I've had this pain and I don't golf. Haha. That's why, for those of us who like to workout, I refer to this as Pull Up Elbow.

Our finger and wrist flexor muscles located along the front of our forearms, have tendon attachments onto the medial epicondyle. This tendons can become inflamed when performing movements such as pull ups and rows.

In today's video, I discuss how to be proactive and avoid pull up elbow by strengthening and stretching the finger and wrist flexors. I also demonstrate myofascial release techniques to treat pull up elbow if you are currently dealing with it.

I hope you enjoy today's video and find the information helpful!

Have you had this problem before or currently? Let me know. I'd like to hear from you.

Another great video Doc. Really helpful.

I was a pianist and this epicondylitis helped derail my career. There’s not enough awareness of injury prevention in the music industry, bc musicians usually aren’t athletes. In ten years of study, no one ever told me to stretch. Warm up was scales at high speed.
Tight triceps and lats also seem to aggravate. Thanks for bringing this to light.

I like to use "pistol fingers" and use them like hooks when doing lat pulldowns. I essentially only use my pinky and ring fingers. I feel like I'm actually using my lats more than anything. I try to reduce arm assistance that way.
Great video. You quickly became one of my favorites.

Thank you doc- just what I was looking for. I developed this “golfer elbow” from pull-ups and pull downs and curls, but not from golf, so it was right on the money! Now I just hope the pain on the inside point of the elbows goes away. Only other question, should we rest it and not do the exercises or even the stretches until the pain goes away or keep doing the preventative and pain stretches the whole time.
Thx again for a great video.

I just injured the medial portion of my elbow on Labor Day at the gym Dr. DeMarco.
