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. Kemran Hafız runs a programme built not on resting the tendon but on raising, in measured steps, the load it can carry.
About your physiotherapist
Fzt. Kemran Hafız 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.
Healing time in golfer's elbow doesn't progress the same way for everyone. Diabetes, thyroid problems and some rheumatological conditions can noticeably slow tendon healing; for these clients, the answer to "why hasn't it healed yet" is often hidden in the accompanying condition.
Fzt. Kemran Hafız asks about accompanying health conditions at the first assessment and discusses the expected timeline openly, with that information factored in. In these cases the programme is progressed in smaller steps and with more frequent measurement; impatient loading can set healing back.

Loading at a standard pace while an accompanying condition is present can set healing back; that's why progress is planned in small steps with close follow-up.

Chiropractic and manual therapy are often confused. Both are done with the hands, but their approaches and frameworks differ.

The sharp heel pain on the first step in the morning is often assumed to be a heel spur. But the real name for this condition is plantar fasciitis, and the two aren't the same thing.
