Tennis Elbow Treatment

The condition often develops gradually and may cause pain, weakness, stiffness, or difficulty performing everyday tasks such as gripping objects, lifting, shaking hands, or using tools. Pain is commonly felt on the outside of the elbow and can sometimes extend into the forearm or wrist.

At Bodyworkx Clinic, our treatments focus on addressing the muscular tension, tendon overload, and movement dysfunction contributing to pain and irritation. We take a comprehensive approach aimed at reducing symptoms, improving strength and mobility, and supporting long term recovery.

Common symptoms of tennis elbow may include:

• Pain or tenderness on the outside of the elbow
• Weak grip strength
• Forearm tightness or fatigue
• Pain when lifting, gripping, or twisting
• Discomfort during sports or repetitive activities
• Stiffness in the elbow or wrist

Our treatment approach may include:

• Deep tissue massage
• Trigger point therapy
• Dry needling
• Myotherapy techniques
• Remedial massage
• Soft tissue release
• Stretching and mobility work
• Corrective strengthening exercises
• Postural and movement assessment
• Tendon loading exercises

These treatments aim to reduce tension and strain through the muscles and tendons of the forearm while improving circulation, flexibility, and tissue recovery.

Corrective exercises and rehabilitation are an important part of treatment and may help to:

• Improve grip strength and forearm stability
• Reduce tendon irritation and inflammation
• Improve tendon loading capacity
• Restore mobility and function
• Prevent recurring strain and overuse injuries
• Improve movement mechanics and posture

Dry needling and trigger point therapy may also be used to release tight muscles within the forearm that can contribute to increased stress on the tendons and surrounding structures.

At Bodyworkx Clinic, we also assess contributing factors such as repetitive movement patterns, workplace ergonomics, sporting technique, posture, and muscular imbalances that may be placing excess strain on the elbow and forearm.

Whether your symptoms are recent or long standing, early treatment can help reduce pain, improve strength, and support a faster return to work, sport, and daily activities.
