While sports massage won't make you birdie that par 4, it can help treat or prevent a common golf injury.
You see, hitting that little ball two or three hundred yards places enormous stress on your joints. Do it a few dozen times in a game for weeks, months or years, and that stress builds up, especially in the tendon of the elbow. The technical name is "medial epicondylitis" but it's more commonly known as "Golfer's Elbow". Symptoms include tenderness and pain in the elbow sometimes spreading down the forearm. Activities like bending the wrist or grasping a golf club can make matters worse. And that means you play less often.
Sports massage helps increase blood flow to the damaged tendon. It is a recognized treatment for the injury and may help prevent it in the first place. And that means you can continue to play. And maybe finally nail that par 4 birdie.
