Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that affects people across various age groups and activity levels. Contrary to its name, tennis elbow is not limited to tennis players; it can develop in anyone who engages in repetitive arm movements. The discomfort and limitations it brings to daily life can be challenging. At our physiotherapy center, we understand these challenges and are commited to providing you with a comprehensive and effective treatment approach for tennis elbow.

Understanding Tennis Elbow Treatment

Before delving into our approach, it’s important to have a clear understanding of tennis elbow.
Tennis elbow, a common musculoskeletal disorder also known as lateral epicondylitis, causes pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. Although it is frequently linked to repetitive motions, such as those in racquet sports, it can affect people in a variety of occupations and activities.

For most people with tennis elbow, the pain only occurs when they use their forearm and wrist, particularly for twisting movements such as turning a door handle or opening a jar. However, for some people the pain is constant; it occurs at rest and can affect their sleep. The pain may travel down your arm from the elbow towards the wrist.

Pain and tenderness on the outer side of the elbow: Often aggravated during gripping activities or when lifting objects.

Weakness in the affected arm: Reduced grip strength and difficulty with everyday tasks like turning a doorknob.

Stiffness: Limited range of motion in the elbow joint.
