Golfer’s Elbow
What is golfer’s elbow?
Clinically, golfer’s elbow is referred to as flexor tendinopathy or tendinosis. It is a chronic tendon injury that causes pain on the inside of the elbow. The tendon involved at the elbow is actually responsible for movements that flex the wrist and fingers. This tendon can become aggravated due to repetitive movements, weak muscles, or poor technique.
Common Symptoms
