How to Identify Golfer's Elbow and the AMIT Solution
Golfer’s Elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition similar to tennis elbow, but the pain occurs on the inside of the elbow. The condition results from damage to the tendons and muscles that control the wrist and fingers.

Causes of Golfer's Elbow
Golfer’s Elbow is caused by repetitive stress and overuse of the wrist and forearm muscles. Common causes include:
- Repetitive Movements: Sports like golf, tennis, and weightlifting involve repetitive wrist-bearing activities that can strain the forearm tendons.
- Overuse of the Wrist and Fingers: Any activity that involves excessive or repetitive wrist movement can damage the muscles and tendons of the forearm.
Symptoms of Golfer's Elbow
The typical symptoms of Golfer's Elbow include:
- Inner Elbow Pain: Tenderness and discomfort along the inner side of the elbow.
- Stiffness and Weakness: Pain may worsen when making a fist, gripping objects, or lifting weights.
- Tingling and Numbness: Some may experience numbness or tingling sensations in the ring and little fingers.
AMIT Treatment for Golfer's Elbow
What Happens During Golfer’s Elbow?
Golfer’s Elbow is caused by inhibition of the wrist flexor muscles, which leads to inflammation at the tendon attachment (enthesis) on the inner side of the elbow. Overdevelopment of the anterior shoulder muscles can also contribute to the condition, adding stress to the wrist and elbow tendons.
How Does AMIT Help?
Advanced Muscle Integration Technique (AMIT) helps reactivate the inhibited flexor muscles and correct imbalances in the shoulder and forearm. By strengthening these muscles and reactivating the proper function of the wrist and elbow, AMIT can reduce pain and inflammation, restoring full range of motion and function.
Steps to Take If You Have Golfer's Elbow
- Rest and Ice: Rest the arm and apply ice to reduce inflammation and pain in the elbow.

Why Choose AMIT for Golfer’s Elbow?
- Non-Invasive Treatment: AMIT provides a non-surgical solution to correcting muscle imbalances associated with Golfer’s Elbow.
- Restores Muscle Function: By reactivating the inhibited flexor muscles, AMIT helps reduce pain and restore proper elbow and wrist function.
