Are you struggling with tennis elbow? Do you feel a sharp pain in your elbow every time you pick something up or turn your wrist? If so, you’re not alone. Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, affects many people from athletes to office workers.

But don’t worry! The Urban Physio is here to help you say goodbye to tennis elbow once and for all. Our team of experienced physios can provide you with the best treatment options to alleviate your pain and prevent further injury.

Tennis elbow is caused by micro-tears in the tendon that connects the forearm muscles to the bones via the elbow joint. Overuse injuries or repetitive movements that use the hand and wrist can overload the elbow and forearm tendons. Mechanics, electricians, chefs, and painters are among the many professionals who may experience this condition. Even prolonged computer and phone use can lead to tennis elbow.

The Urban Physio offers a range of physio treatments to help manage your pain and improve your condition. Soft tissue massage, bracing and taping, and joint mobilisation are just a few of the techniques our physios use to aid in your recovery. Dry needling and acupuncture are also an effective treatment for tennis elbow.

Following these treatments, we start to incorporate exercise prescription to aid recovery. We gradually increase the load and function of your tendon to help you to return to your daily activities as soon as possible. Stretching and strengthening exercises can also help prevent the risk of re-injury.

Don’t let tennis elbow keep you from doing the things you love. Book an appointment with The Urban Physio today and let us help you get back to your pain-free life.
