Ways To Prevent And Manage Golfer's Elbow

Practice Proper Form

Proper technique in sports, painting, music, and other repetitive activities is crucial in the prevention of golfer's elbow and similar conditions. Athletic coaches and music teachers routinely advise their students to practice proper form, as doing so keeps the forearms, elbows, and wrists aligned, and it places the least possible strain on muscles and tendons. Individuals who use proper form are able to perform required movements fluidly and safely. Due to anatomical differences, proper form itself may vary slightly from individual to individual. Finger length, hand size, arm length, and muscle strength should all be considered when deciding on the most effective technique for each person. Adaptations can be made as needed to promote fluidity and ease of movement. Patients who have golfer's elbow may need to make additional adaptations to their form while they recover.
