Easy tips and exercises to overcome Golfers Elbow- Pain in the inner elbow
Golfer’s elbow is pain in the inner elbow which may or may not be caused by playing golf. Another name for golfers elbow is medial epicondylitis, which literally means inflammation of the medial epicondyle (inner elbow).
 
Four signs that you may be suffering from golfers elbow:
#1. You have pain or burning sensation on the bony area on the inner part of the elbow, i.e., the medial epicondyle.

#2. Your pain radiates down to the inner forearm and fingers. If the pain is long standing you may even feel it in the biceps and cervical spine. 

#3. You experience pain when you spread out your fingers, bending the wrist upwards and rotation of the forearm. 

#4. You may have pain when lifting everyday objects such as a glass of water or feel a lack of strength in your affected hand.
 
Watch the video below for some of the exercises that can be done to manage the pain originating from golfers elbow:

 
 
Here are 5 tips that can help to overcome the pain from golfers elbow are: 
#1. Use a cold pack to ease the inflammation on the elbow and involved muscles. 
 
#2. Take a break from the activities that trigger your pain or reduce their intensity till the pain eases off. 
 
#3. Maintain a good sitting posture if you spend a considerable amount of time at the desk or use a computer. Try to keep your forearms fully supported. Keep your wrists in neutral by using a mousepad with wrist support or an ergonomic mouse. This keeps the elbow and wrist in neutral and thus prevents stress on these already inflamed areas.
 
#4. Use an elbow brace to provide support to the affected muscles. The brace will help to stabilise the affected area, thereby reducing the pain and discomfort. 
 
#5. Check the grip on your golf club if you play golf. If the handle is too thin you will have to grip it tightly. This makes the forearm muscles work harder, leading to more pain and inflammation.
 
#6. An adequate warm up pre and post-exercise using the stretches shown in the video can help reduce the build-up of inflammation in the elbow.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach and a Certified Posture Expert. I use my proven system to help mums of younger kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage their back, neck, and nerve pains, despite low energy levels and brain fog. I do all this without taking away a big chunk of their time out of their already busy day. This enables them to be more productive and capable professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can focus on their kids instead of always being distracted by pain. 



My passion for helping executive mums stems from my own experiences. I have been in the same boat and understand the frustration and helplessness of being in constant pain or being afraid to engage in activities due to the fear of pain. After two pregnancies in the span of three years and juggling my two kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was constantly in pain. The weight gain from motherhood added extra stress to my already overburdened spine and joints. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss and spinal/nerve pain that I just couldn’t break free from.

On top of the physical pain, I also suffered from adrenal fatigue. I often felt exhausted, waking up groggy even after a full night’s (10 to 12 plus hours!) sleep, and struggled with low energy levels and brain fog. Simple tasks became challenging, and I found myself forgetting things and unable to think clearly. It was incredibly frustrating and made it even harder to balance my professional responsibilities and family life.

My work involved long hours of standing during the day, prolonged hours on the laptop in the evening, and lots of running around and rocking my kids to sleep in between. Despite my knowledge and expertise in pain relief, I still found myself unable to escape the constant daily pain and fatigue.

Sitting at a desk job from 9 to 5, or longer, plus endless meetings that seem to go on forever. The frequent traveling, the uncomfortable hotel pillows that make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep—I’ve experienced it all. I remember not being able to share my discomfort at work because I felt like an imposter, talking about pain relief strategies and focusing on work while I was not able to achieve it myself. I didn’t disclose the extent of my pain and forgetfulness to my colleagues for years. Even though I loved my kids and my job, I couldn’t give 100% to either. The discomfort held me back from reaching my full potential, making me feel guilty as a mum and less productive at work. I felt like I was constantly running on empty, unable to catch a break from the pain and exhaustion.

finally got fed up after years of trying and decided to make a New Year’s resolution to get ‘healthy’ instead of focusing solely on my pain, fatigue, forgetfulness, and weight loss. When I shifted my focus to getting healthier by reducing the inflammation in my body and addressing my adrenal fatigue, the pain started to decrease, my energy levels and focus improved, and the pounds started shedding off too! That, of course, meant a happier spine, nerves, joints, and a happier me! Today, my neck, back, and nerve pain are down to zero, my knee pain has reduced by 75%, my brain fog has reduced drastically and my energy levels are higher than ever. I realized that I had been focusing on the wrong solutions for over a decade!

Now, my mission is to share my knowledge of pain relief and managing adrenal fatigue along with my personal experience with other mums, especially those with younger kids who work in high-stress executive jobs. My goal is to help you find lasting relief, boost your energy, and reclaim your life, just as I did. 

If you can relate to all this, you are not alone. As a mum, I have been there and done that—momma, I got you! I’ve helped hundreds of mums in this situation over the years find their solution to manage spinal and joint pains, low energy levels, and brain fog that hold them back. This enables them to feel confidently in control and empowers them to cultivate that confidence and productivity at work and enjoy being with their kids, to be able to run around with them without the fear of injury or pain.

Are you ready for this journey? Ask me how if you are curious.

Let's DO THIS!
