Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a painful condition affecting the tendons on the outside of the elbow. Despite its name, only a small percentage of sufferers actually play tennis — it’s extremely common in people who perform repetitive wrist and forearm movements at work or during daily activities.
Tennis elbow is classified as a tendinopathy — a condition where the extensor tendons of the forearm become overloaded, leading to microscopic tears, degeneration and pain. Physiotherapy is the most effective, evidence-based treatment and is strongly recommended before any surgical intervention.
At Physio Experts, our physiotherapists provide a structured tennis elbow rehabilitation programme using the latest evidence-based loading techniques to restore full tendon function and prevent recurrence.
Physiotherapy vs. Steroid Injection: While steroid injections provide quick short-term relief, physiotherapy produces significantly better long-term outcomes for tennis elbow. We offer both approaches and will advise on the best strategy for you.
Our physiotherapists assess all potential causes during your initial consultation to identify the root of your condition.
Prolonged typing, mouse use and screen work causes repetitive micro-trauma to the extensor tendons — a leading cause in office workers.
Painting, plastering, plumbing and carpentry involve repetitive gripping and wrist extension that overloads the tendons.
Despite the name, poor backhand technique in tennis or racket sports can contribute to lateral epicondyle overload.
Heavy lifting with improper grip technique, particularly rows and deadlifts, can overload the forearm extensors.
Extended mobile phone use requires sustained finger extension, loading the extensor tendons repeatedly over time.
Rapidly increasing repetitive arm activity — a new job, instrument practice or sport — without adequate tendon conditioning.
Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on treatment, targeted exercises and education to address the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Progressive eccentric and isometric loading exercises — proven to be the most effective long-term treatment for tendinopathy.
Elbow joint mobilisation and soft tissue techniques to reduce pain, improve movement and restore normal forearm function.
Dry needling of the extensor tendon origin provides rapid pain relief and promotes healing — highly effective for tennis elbow.
Identifying and modifying the activity that caused the problem — workstation setup, grip technique, and load management strategies.
A clear, structured approach from your first appointment to full recovery.
