Understanding Elbow Pain
Elbow pain often develops from overuse, repetitive motions, or sudden injury.
Common causes include:
• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) from repetitive wrist and forearm use
• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) from gripping and wrist flexion
• Olecranon bursitis from pressure or trauma
• Nerve compression such as cubital tunnel syndrome
• Sprains and strains from sports or lifting
• Arthritis and joint degeneration
Our physiotherapists evaluate your elbow mechanics, identify the cause of your pain, and design a targeted treatment plan for your condition.

How Physiotherapy Helps Elbow Pain
Physiotherapy provides effective, non-surgical treatment for most elbow conditions.
Our treatment includes:
• Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to mobilize the elbow joint, release forearm muscle tension, and reduce tendon irritation.
• Strengthening Exercises: Progressive exercises for the forearm flexors and extensors to rebuild tendon tolerance and grip strength.
• Stretching and Flexibility: Gentle stretching to improve wrist and forearm range of motion and prevent stiffness.
• Activity Modification: Practical advice on adjusting work, sports, and daily tasks to reduce strain on the elbow while healing.
We progress your exercises gradually to ensure safe recovery without aggravating the injury.
