Understanding Your Pain

TENNIS ELBOW
EXPLAINED

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is an overuse injury causing pain on the outer side of the elbow. It results from repetitive wrist and arm movements that strain the tendons attaching to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Despite the name, most cases occur in non-athletes — plumbers, painters, carpenters, and office workers are commonly affected. Our physiotherapists identify the specific activities causing your pain and develop a recovery plan to heal the tendon and prevent recurrence.

Not necessarily. While you may need to modify your playing intensity and frequency temporarily, complete rest is rarely recommended. We’ll guide you on safe activity levels and work on technique corrections so you can continue playing while healing.

With consistent physiotherapy and adherence to your home exercise program, most patients see significant improvement within 6–12 weeks. Chronic cases may take longer. Early treatment leads to faster recovery.

A counterforce brace can provide temporary pain relief by redistributing tension away from the injured tendon. However, it’s not a long-term solution. We use braces as an adjunct to comprehensive physiotherapy, not as a replacement.

Yes, the vast majority of tennis elbow cases resolve completely with physiotherapy alone. Surgery is rarely needed and is only considered after an adequate trial of conservative treatment (usually 6–12 months) has failed.

Eccentric wrist extensor exercises are the gold standard for tendon healing. We’ll teach you the correct technique and progression. Self-prescribed exercises without proper guidance can worsen the condition, so always follow a professional plan.
