How Stance approaches golfer's elbow
We assess forearm strength, grip capacity and contributing movement patterns. Treatment uses a graded loading progression for the wrist flexors alongside addressing shoulder and scapular factors that may increase forearm demand.

Frequently asked questions
How is golfer's elbow different from tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow affects the outside of the elbow (extensor tendons), while golfer's elbow affects the inside (flexor tendons). Treatment principles are similar but target different muscle groups.
How long does golfer's elbow take to resolve?
Most cases improve significantly in 6-12 weeks of structured loading. Full resolution may take 3-6 months.
