Golf Elbow

Golf elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and inflammation on the inner side of the elbow. It occurs when the tendons that connect the forearm muscles to the elbow become damaged due to overuse, typically from repetitive wrist and arm motions. While it’s commonly associated with golfers, this condition can affect anyone involved in activities that require repetitive gripping or wrist movements, such as throwing, typing, or manual labor. At Surge Wellness, we are experienced in diagnosing and treating golf elbow, providing personalized care to help you manage pain and regain full functionality.

Without proper treatment, golf elbow can lead to chronic pain and weakened grip strength, significantly affecting your ability to perform everyday tasks. At Surge Wellness, we take a comprehensive approach to treating golf elbow, focusing not only on relieving pain but also on addressing the underlying cause of your condition. Our goal is to help you recover fully by reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and strengthening the muscles and tendons surrounding the elbow, so you can return to your regular activities pain-free and with improved resilience.

How We Treat Golf Elbow

At Surge Wellness, our treatment for golf elbow integrates physiotherapy and registered massage therapy to provide a holistic approach to healing. Our physiotherapists use targeted exercises to improve flexibility and strengthen the forearm and elbow muscles, promoting better support for the tendons. Manual therapy techniques and modalities like ultrasound or laser therapy are employed to reduce inflammation, enhance circulation, and accelerate the healing process. We also focus on correcting movement patterns and posture to prevent re-injury and help you maintain long-term elbow health.

Massage therapy is a crucial component in relieving the muscle tension and tightness that contribute to golf elbow. Our registered massage therapists use techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to release tension and promote healing in the affected area. By addressing muscle imbalances and restoring flexibility, massage therapy complements physiotherapy to deliver comprehensive care. This integrated treatment approach ensures that you recover quickly, regain strength, and return to your normal activities with minimal risk of recurring injury.
