Tennis elbow causes and pain
Tennis elbow pain, which occurs on the outer side of the elbow, is typically a result of repetitive movements or lifting heavy objects. Contrary to its name, tennis is not the primary cause of this condition for most individuals.
The pain associated with tennis elbow is focused around a specific bony area on the outside of the elbow and is often linked to certain lifting tasks, although it can also be persistent at times.
Tennis elbow physiotherapy treatment
Think you may have tennis elbow? The first thing to do is cease the aggravating activities as much as possible. It’s suggested you stop playing sports or activities, as any activity that causes pain can potentially prolong the healing process.
It is then recommended that you seek advice from a qualified physio such as one of our friendly team members at North West Physio Everton Park.
A physio will be able to provide advice on ceasing certain activities, strapping or supportive devices, massage and joint mobilisations, and a home program of strength and stretching exercises. Other useful treatment techniques your physio may suggest include Shock Wave Therapy and acupuncture.
