Tennis Elbow Treatment

Tennis elbow is a condition where the tendons on the outside of your elbow become irritated or damaged. It often happens from overuse, especially from repeated gripping, lifting, or wrist movements. 

This condition usually affects a tendon that connects to the muscles responsible for moving your wrist and fingers, most commonly the one that helps lift your wrist (called the extensor carpi radialis brevis). The tendon can become inflamed or even start to tear slightly, causing pain and weakness around the outside of your elbow. 

Despite the name, you don’t have to play tennis to get tennis elbow. While it may be common among tennis players who move their wrists excessively, it can happen to anyone. 

Our team at Restore Physiotherapy can help you regain full function of your elbow with a comprehensive assessment and rehabilitation plan. 

While some tennis elbow may heal on its own, others may take longer and risk degeneration of the tendon. Our team can implement a targeted exercise program that includes passive and active range of movement exercises, strength and stretching exercises, coordination exercises and exercises for fine motor skills to help you retrain your affected muscles.
