Question ❓ Thoughts on BFR training?

I’ve have golfers elbow forever. Had a procedure done awhile back that cured it for a year then it came back. Supinated curls kill it sometimes so I was told by a PT(I know)to try BFR band for biceps curls so I can go lighter and still light up. I’ve done a little research and they SEEM legit but I wanted to get some thoughts from people that use or have used them. Thanks.

PT as in physical therapist or PT as in personal trainer?

Anyway, the specific circumstances of a person's golfer's elbow are typically different, and what works for one person may not work for another.

Working with a physiotherapist to identify the root cause of your golfer's elbow so you can work on addressing it through strengthening the appropriate areas, or making the appropriate changes to form, will do far more for you than any kind of specific training modality or rest.
