Although golfers aren't subject to the same level of physical strain as some sports, injuries do still occur when playing golf and one of the most common of these is known as Golfer's Elbow.

What is Golfer's Elbow?

Golfer's Elbow is a form of elbow tendonitis, and occurs when the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow become inflamed or torn, causing pain on the inside of the elbow.

It is known as golfer's elbow as it can be caused by repetitive motions such as a golf swing, and by the overuse and stress of the muscles in the forearm that allow you to grip a club and flex your wrist.

It is also worth noting that other activities can lead to golfer's elbow, such as baseball, rock climbing or even using common tools such as screwdrivers.

You will know you have golfer's elbow if you have a pain near the bony knob on the inside of the elbow, although sometimes this can extend down the whole of the forearm.

You are also likely to feel discomfort when you are performing gripping tasks or flexing your wrist towards your body.

How to Treat Golfer's Elbow

Golfer's Elbow can really disrupt your game, so if you think that you have this condition the first thing to do is to get some physiotherapy treatment and to avoid any activity that causes pain.

It is also usually advised to apply ice packs to your elbow for a few days. This will help to minimise swelling and reduce inflammation. You should always wrap the ice packs in a thin towel to protect the skin.

It can also be useful to stretch and strengthen the affected area, as well as reviewing your swing to correct any poor mechanics that put you at risk of injury.

Best Golfer's Elbow Support and Braces

A good golfer’s elbow support or brace can play an important part in recovery from injury and returning to the course.

Most braces will feature a shock absorbing, counter-pressure pad which will apply compression to the forearm and help to take the strain off the tendon.

The support should be fitted a couple of finger widths below the elbow, and fastened with the Velcro straps supplied.

The LP Supports range includes a number of products that are recommended for those recovering from golfer’s elbow. They will help you to continue to play and protect your injury:

LP Tennis and Golfer's Elbow Support

LP Tennis and Golfer's Elbow Support / 751 - £8.50

The LP Tennis and Golfer's Elbow Support will help to relieve pain associated with Golfer's Elbow, and it includes a triangular pressure point which offers extra pressure for the muscles in the forearm.

This support is made from neoprene, which is the ultimate material for heat retention and compression so it will retain body heat and improve blood circulation while offering the appropriate level of support.

The adjustable hook and loop strap allows you to apply greater tension if needed and the support is available as a one size fits all product.
