This short video shows M. Flexor Carpi Radialis in the context of “Golf elbow.” Overloading it can cause pain and tension in the inner part of the elbow, especially with movements of the wrist towards the little finger. This links the muscle’s location and role in movement with the areas where tension or pain may be felt.
Overloading it can cause pain and tension in the inner part of the elbow, especially with movements of the wrist towards the little finger. The clip places this within “Golf elbow” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
Muscle pain is not always local. When a muscle is overloaded or lacks control during movement, tension or pain can also be felt in a nearby area.
This is an educational visual linked to “Golf elbow.” If symptoms keep returning, restrict movement, or their source is unclear, a functional assessment is a more useful next step than guessing.
