Golfer's Elbow From Climbing – Solutions, Causes and Assessment

First up, we have new person on the Lattice Couch! James is a climbing-specialised physio and has worked with both our staff team and our clients, so we thought we’d pick his brain about some interesting and new subjects relevant to climbers! We’ve put all of the details of his expertise and how to get in contact with him the description below – but first, what’s up this in this episode?!

Well, we thought it would be excellent to get stuck straight into a very popular topic – golfer’s elbow! It’s one that has caused thousands of climbers around the world issues at some time in their climbing careers. Fortunately there are loads of good methods for working through this issue and the vast majority of people we see who take the right action with this, come out the other side in great shape.
