Wrist or elbow pain? Do your wrists, forearms, or elbows feel tight after a long day at the computer or repetitive work? That stiffness can carry over into your golf game and affect both performance and comfort.

Before you hit the course, take a few minutes to warm up your wrists, forearms, elbows, and shoulders with simple mobility exercises. For rotational movements, you can use a golf club at home or on the course to help guide the motion.

Improving mobility in these areas can lead to a smoother, more fluid golf swing—and may help reduce your risk of irritation or injuries like wrist pain or golfer’s elbow (medial elbow pain). Golfer’s elbow typically develops from repetitive gripping, wrist flexion, and forearm strain—common in both golf and desk-based tasks. It often presents as pain on the inside of the elbow, sometimes with stiffness, weakness, or discomfort when gripping or lifting.

Keeping these areas mobile and gradually building strength can help reduce strain on the tendons involved. However, if symptoms are already present, targeted treatment and specific exercise progressions are often needed to fully recover.

Keep in mind, everyone’s body is different. If any of these movements cause discomfort or don’t feel right, it’s best to stop and get individualized advice.
