Golf Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Leading the list of injuries is golfer's elbow, and one
of the best ways to avoid elbow problems is to strengthen the forearm muscles
and slow the swing so that there will be less shock in the arm when the ball is
hit by the golfer.
To avoid golfer's elbow, we suggest these simple
exercises to help build up your forearm muscles.
Squeeze a tennis
ball Squeezing a tennis ball for five minutes at a time is a
simple, effective exercise that will strengthen your forearm muscles.
Wrist curls Use a lightweight dumbbell. Lower the weight to the end
of your fingers, and then curl the weight back into your palm, followed by
curling up your wrist to lift the weight an inch or two higher. Perform 10
repetitions with one arm, and then repeat with the other arm.
Reverse wrist
curls Use a lightweight dumbbell. Place your hands in front of
you, palm side down. Using your wrist, lift the weight up and down. Hold the
arm that you are exercising above your elbow with your other hand in order to
limit the motion to your forearm. Perform 10 repetitions with one arm, and then
repeat with the other arm.
