Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse of the forearm muscles. It can affect anyone—not just athletes—and often lingers without the right treatment. At Physio Pro, our experienced physiotherapists provide hands-on, personalised care to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent flare-ups.
Tennis elbow occurs when the tendons on the outside of the elbow become irritated from repetitive wrist or forearm movements. Despite the name, only a small percentage of people with this condition actually play tennis. Office workers, tradespeople, and anyone performing repetitive gripping or lifting can also develop symptoms.
Our physiotherapists use evidence-based treatment to reduce pain and help you return to your normal activities. Treatment may include:
