Golfer's elbow -- medically referred to as medial epicondylitis -- occurs when the muscles and tendons in the elbow are overused or strained. The strained muscles and tendons develop tiny tears and become inflamed. Depending on the severity, those suffering from golfer's elbow may experience mild to severe pain and discomfort. Symptoms include pain along the interior forearm whenever you move your wrist or make a fist.
Wrist Flexes
Stretch your left arm in front of you with the palm up and your elbow locked. Your arm should be parallel to the ground. With your right hand, grab the fingers on your left and pull them toward your body. Keep your arm straight and hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Repeat with your other hand.
Elbow Motion
Stand straight and allow both arms to rest naturally at your sides. Keeping your elbow in place, slowly lift your right forearm toward your shoulder. Your palm should face your shoulder. Gently straighten your arm out and repeat 10 more times. Complete three sets and repeat on the other arm.
Wrist Twists
Raise your right arm into a hand-wave, or "stop" position. Bend your wrist forward as if your fingers are trying to touch the interior of your wrist. Then, move your hand backward so that your palm is parallel to the ceiling. Continue moving your wrist backward and forward 10 additional times. Complete three sets and repeat with your other arm.
