Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Treatment in Bursa

Golfer's elbow is an overload of the shared tendon attachment on the inner point of the elbow, where the muscles that bend the wrist and close the fingers originate. It is the mirror image of tennis elbow: the pain sits on the inner side rather than the outer. And just as there, most people who develop it never play golf — any job involving repeated gripping, pulling and twisting produces the same result. In Bursa Nilüfer, Fzt. Bilal Kara runs a programme built not on resting the tendon but on raising, in measured steps, the load it can carry.

When is it needed?

  • Forearm weakness on pulling movements
  • Weak grip
  • Inner-elbow pain increasing after training
  • A complaint that eases temporarily with less weight but isn't resolved
  • Pain intensity that changes with grip width

What we do

  • Measuring grip strength
  • Raising the pain threshold with isometric loading
  • Increasing tendon capacity with slow-tempo eccentric work
  • Opening up grip width and pulling volume based on measurement
  • Regular re-measurement of grip strength

Golfer's Elbow in Bursa Nilüfer

Fzt. Bilal Kara provides one-to-one care for golfer's elbow at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.

It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.

If your forearm gives out on pulling movements

Pain on the inner side of the elbow in people who train usually appears with an increase in pulling volume. When grip stays weak, load piles up at the tendon's attachment point; reducing the weight suppresses the complaint but doesn't change capacity.

Fzt. Bilal Kara restructures the training rather than stopping it. Grip strength is measured, the pain threshold is raised with isometric loading, and then tendon capacity is increased with slow-tempo eccentric work. Grip width and pulling volume are opened up based on these measurements.

Why isn't stopping training the solution?

Pain on the inner side of the elbow in people who train usually appears with an increase in pulling volume. When grip stays weak, load piles up at the tendon's attachment point; reducing the weight suppresses the complaint but doesn't change capacity.

How is the programme restructured?

Fzt. Bilal Kara restructures the training rather than stopping it. Grip strength is measured, the pain threshold is raised with isometric loading, and then tendon capacity is increased with slow-tempo eccentric work.

When does grip width change?

Grip width and pulling volume are opened up gradually, based on measured grip strength and pain threshold.

Frequently asked questions

Should I stop weight training?

Usually not; the programme aims to keep training going by restructuring pulling volume and grip based on measurement.

What is eccentric work, and why does it matter?

It means the muscle carries a controlled load while lengthening; it's a particularly effective method for increasing tendon capacity.

When can I return to full load?

Once grip strength and pain threshold reach a measured level, grip and volume are increased gradually.

Other treatments

  • Tennis Elbow

    For pain on the outer elbow that flares with gripping: a graded tendon-loading programme that rebuilds grip strength.

  • Graston Technique

    Mobilisation of soft tissue with stainless-steel instruments, carried out together with exercise.

  • Carpal Tunnel

    For night-time hand numbness and dropping objects: nerve gliding, splinting and load management without surgery.
