Golfer's Elbow Physical Therapy in

St. Augustine, Florida

Yes. At Renew in St. Augustine we strengthen the sore tendon and your grip. We also look at how your feet, hips and shoulders move, so your forearm is not stuck carrying the whole load.

Golfer's elbow hurts on the inside of the elbow, where the tendons that bend your wrist attach. Tennis elbow hurts on the outside, where the tendons that lift your wrist attach. Both come from overload, and neither one needs a golf club or a racket to start.

Often, yes, with some changes. We may adjust how often you play or practice while the tendon gets stronger, then work on the rest of your body so your swing puts less strain on the elbow.

See a doctor if you felt a pop, your elbow is badly swollen or bruised, you can't fully bend or straighten it, or your fingers are numb and tingling. Those need a medical check before physical therapy.

You see Matt Rieder, Doctor of Physical Therapy, one-on-one for every minute of every visit. There are no techs and no group sessions, and Sandy, our Registered Nurse, checks in with you each week.

Yes, even if it has been a while. Tendon pain that has hung around often needs more strength work, not more rest. After your exam we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
