What is MEDIAL EPICONDYLITIS (Golfer’s Elbow)?
➢ A medial epicondylitis is inflammation of the common flexor tendon (CFT) that results to microscopic tearing of tendon fascicles due to overloading the tendon with a resulting inflammatory response.
➢ The causes of lateral epicondylitis are repetitive activities, muscle imbalance, poor techniques on sports/activities and lack of flexibility.
➢ It is common to sports like golfing, throwing and racquet sports and occupations such as construction, plumbing or carpentry.
