How to Identify Golfer's Elbow and the AMIT Solution
Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, is pain on the inner side of the elbow where the tendons of the forearm muscles that bend the wrist and grip attach to bone. Pain can spread into the forearm and wrist, and gripping, making a fist, or lifting tends to make it worse. Despite the name, you do not need to play golf to get it; any repetitive gripping or wrist-bending activity can cause it.
Most cases get better without surgery, although improvement can take weeks to months. Since the irritated tendons belong to the wrist flexor muscles, whether those muscles are working properly again is what decides whether the elbow settles or keeps flaring.
Golfer’s Elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition similar to tennis elbow, but the pain occurs on the inside of the elbow. The condition results from damage to the tendons and muscles that control the wrist and fingers.
This is one of the shoulder, arm & wrist conditions AMIT addresses by restoring proper muscle activation instead of relying on surgery.

AMIT Treatment for Golfer's Elbow
Causes of Golfer's Elbow
Golfer’s Elbow is caused by repetitive stress and overuse of the wrist and forearm muscles. Common causes include:
Repetitive Movements: Sports like golf, tennis, and weightlifting involve repetitive wrist-bearing activities that can strain the forearm tendons.
Overuse of the Wrist and Fingers: Any activity that involves excessive or repetitive wrist movement can damage the muscles and tendons of the forearm.
In golfers it is especially common in beginners, and it shows up most often in the right elbow of right-handed players. Outside of golf, the same strain comes from racket sports, weightlifting, and any work that involves repetitive gripping or wrist bending.
Symptoms of Golfer's Elbow
The typical symptoms of Golfer's Elbow include:
Inner Elbow Pain: Tenderness and discomfort along the inner side of the elbow.
Stiffness and Weakness: Pain may worsen when making a fist, gripping objects, or lifting weights.
Tingling and Numbness: Some may experience numbness or tingling sensations in the ring and little fingers.
Tingling or numbness in the ring and little fingers is worth mentioning at your visit, since those fingers are supplied by the ulnar nerve, which passes close to the inner elbow.
Golfer's Elbow vs. Tennis Elbow
The two are close relatives. Both are overuse injuries of the forearm tendons where they attach at the elbow. The difference is the side:
Golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis): Pain on the inner side of the elbow, from the tendons of the muscles that bend the wrist and fingers. Worse with gripping, making a fist, and bending the wrist.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): Pain on the outer side of the elbow, from the tendons of the muscles that extend the wrist. Worse with holding a racquet, turning a wrench, or shaking hands.
Our article on golfer's elbow vs. tennis elbow covers how to tell them apart in more detail.
How Long Does Golfer's Elbow Take to Heal?
According to the Hospital for Special Surgery, most cases of golfer's elbow resolve with conservative care, though it can take weeks to months to see improvement. About 10% of cases need surgery, which is usually considered only after 6 to 12 months of conservative treatment have not resolved the symptoms.
If pain continues for several weeks despite rest, that is the point to get the elbow evaluated rather than continuing to play or work through it.
AMIT Treatment for Golfer's Elbow
What Happens During Golfer’s Elbow?
Golfer’s Elbow is caused by inhibition of the wrist flexor muscles, which leads to inflammation at the tendon attachment (enthesis) on the inner side of the elbow. Overdevelopment of the anterior shoulder muscles can also contribute to the condition, adding stress to the wrist and elbow tendons.
How Does AMIT Help?
Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) helps reactivate the inhibited flexor muscles and correct imbalances in the shoulder and forearm. By strengthening these muscles and reactivating the proper function of the wrist and elbow, AMIT can reduce pain and inflammation, restoring full range of motion and function.
On a first visit we test the wrist flexor and forearm muscles one at a time, along with the front and back shoulder muscles, since the original content notes that overdeveloped front shoulder muscles add stress to the elbow. The visit takes about 40 minutes; what to expect explains how to prepare.
