Golfers elbow is where pain develops on the inside of the elbow where muscles of your forearm insert to your elbow. Ironically most people who have this condition do not play golf. Symptoms include focal pain and sometimes widespread pain that originate from the inside of the elbow, pain and weakness when opening jars or gripping items and struggling to fully straighten your elbow. The majority of people who develop these symptoms have recently increased their level of activity or slightly changed their routine for example an increase in gardening, typing or an increase in resistance training. You can develop symptoms at any age but commonly people are between 40-60 years old. Factors that increase your risk of developing this condition are if you have diabetes (type 1 and 2), if you smoke, have high cholesterol levels, prone to a sedentary lifestyle, overweight and eat fatty foods on a regular basis. Reassuringly after a clinical diagnosis is made there is strong evidence that symptoms can improve over time with an individualised physiotherapy plan.
