Golfers Elbow supplement relief

I put this in the injury/rehab section but haven't gotten any feedback yet

I’ve been training my dad the last few years. He’s had golfers elbow on and off most of that time and it’s really bad right now where it limits how he lifts. He does full body twice a week normally, has a desk job, and is somewhat active working on cars or things most nights. He does golf seasonally as well but it’s March in Michigan so hasn’t in months. What are some good exercises or stretches for relief but also to help fix the root issue? additional questions here what are some good supplement recommendations?

Have you had him try Joint Support XT or Cissus XT yet?

The form of Boswellin in Joint Support XT has some really good data on it for tennis elbow, which is similar to golfers elbow, just a different spot. The other ingredients in it would help too, but that one specifically comes to mind.
 
As for the first part... theres a lot of 'grip strength' type exercises that could help strengthen up the muscles in the forearm that would help. I have a few softball buddies that swear by those flexible resistance bar things.

Supplements:
XPG Curcuprime Gel would probably be my first suggestion. Works great, bonus points it can be applied right on the elbows where it hurts.

If the pill route... Competitive Edge Labs Joint Edge would probably be my first choice for this specific problem.

And then CEL BASIS would be the dark horse. Most of us on here that have used it have all noticed that joints/tendons/ligaments all feel better on it.

The best joint support supplement is Curcumin

It has many benefits but joint support is what it's great at, see this study:

Sabinsa's C3 Curcumin is a good source of curcumin, and is included in the Joint Support XT product that I suggested. The Boswellin Super in the product is also from Sabinsa, the same company that makes the branded curcumin ingredient you linked.

I saw where you said in another thread that you liked to learn about things, so figured I would mention that.
 
Thanks everyone. I’ll encourage Joint Support XT. He’s not a big supplement guy and won’t do injections so I’ll start here. Strengthening grip.
 
He does take a statin as well which causes some muscle tightness in him so I wonder if this could be causing it. His cholesterol is way better after losing some weight and starting cholesterol support from SNS, but his doc dropped the dose and doesn’t want to get rid of it.

I doubt that a statin would be the sole cause, but it could be contributing to it.

I'm glad to hear that his cholesterol is better.

Doctors can be like that - some know the risks of statins and want people off of them if at all possible, but others seem to want to keep people on them and never completely come off.
 
Would definitely recommend Curcuprime by XPG

Forearm and grip work will definitely help as well. I was diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome. They wanted me to get surgery to decompress the nerve but I was able to do nerve hydrodissection and forearm work to prevent the surgery.

Google tells me I have the same... anything specific that helped exercise wise?
 
Supplements may help but they won't fix the actual issue. There are a lot of pronation and supination exercises that will help correct any strength imbalances and strengthen the tendons themselves. Isometric holds could help as well. I'd say go to an ortho they can pinpoint the cause then a physical therapist can prescribe exactly what is needed... or if you have good insurance just schedule a physical therapist... either way you'd be really surprised at what a month or two doing corrective exercises will actually fix.

I stretched my foremarm after every workout and I also did forearms curls every other day and it seemed to help.

if you google cubital tunnel syndrome stretches you'll find a good routine as well.

I actually went and saw this guy a few years ago and had nerve hydrodisection done. Seemed to help as well rather than surgery.

If this is or has been a recurring issue this is your best bet. Get checked out, figure out some underlying issue, and get exercises to help which you can then likely use in the future if/when the situation calls for it.

Otherwise there are decent supplement suggestions in here. I like Curcumin and Boswellia in particular to help "calm" things down and particularly like using XPG Curcuprime locally in certain situations.
