What Is Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis)?

Tennis elbow, also called lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain on the outer part of the elbow. It happens when the tendons in that area—especially the extensor carpi radialis brevis—develop small tears from overuse or repeated strain. The pain often starts at the elbow and can spread down toward the wrist.

Despite its name, tennis elbow is not exclusive to tennis players. It affects office workers, tradespeople, and those with sports injuries such as tennis and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis). At our clinic, we treat tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow with precision and care, ensuring thorough assessment before starting a treatment plan.

What Can Tennis Elbow Treatment Address?

Our tennis elbow treatment is designed to relieve pain, restore strength, and prevent recurrence. We treat a wide range of epicondylitis-related conditions, including:

Repetitive Strain Injuries: Caused by overuse of the forearm muscles, often seen in office workers, athletes, and mechanics.
Inflamed Tendons: Acute or chronic inflammation of the lateral epicondyle tendons due to trauma or overuse.
Weak Grip Strength: Difficulty gripping or lifting objects due to tendon damage.
Elbow and Wrist Stiffness: Reduced mobility and discomfort during everyday movements.
Failed Previous Treatments: Patients who have tried other therapies without success.

We customize each rehabilitation plan based on your pain level, activity profile, and functional goals. Our physiotherapy treatment includes manual therapy and shockwave therapy to treat tennis elbow and similar injuries.

How Does Our Tennis Elbow Physiotherapy Work?

At the Institute of Medical Physics, we go beyond standard treatment for tennis elbow in the UK. Our clinical approach is grounded in musculoskeletal science and accelerated recovery principles:

Detailed Physical Assessment

We begin with a complete evaluation of your elbow joint, muscle condition, and movement limitations.

Digital Motion Analysis

Identify biomechanical imbalances and improper joint mechanics contributing to strain.

Ultrasound-Guided Diagnosis

High-resolution imaging to pinpoint inflammation, tendon tears, or degeneration.

Hands-On Manual Therapy

Targeted soft tissue mobilisation and joint manipulation to reduce stiffness and restore mobility.

Custom Exercise Programmes

Strengthening and stretching protocols designed to rebuild the affected tendons gradually.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Non-invasive treatment that stimulates tendon repair and improves blood circulation.

Our tennis elbow physiotherapy is delivered by expert elbow physiotherapists using methods proven to provide tennis elbow pain relief and improve functionality. This physical therapy for tennis elbow ensures recovery and long-term management of tennis elbow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes tennis elbow?

Tennis elbow is typically caused by overuse or repetitive motion involving the wrist and forearm, leading to micro-tears in the tendon that attaches to the elbow. This can happen in sports, office work, manual labour, or daily activities. Understanding tennis elbow is key to preventing long-term damage.

Is tennis elbow treatment painful?

No. Our physiotherapy and shockwave treatments are non-invasive and well-tolerated. Some mild discomfort may occur during deep tissue therapy, but it’s brief and part of the healing process.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery times vary, but most patients experience improvement within 4–6 sessions. Full functional recovery often occurs within 6–10 weeks with proper physiotherapy and adherence to home exercises.

Do I need imaging before treatment?

We perform an in-house clinical evaluation and may use diagnostic ultrasound to assess tendon damage if needed. MRI or X-rays are rarely required unless your case is highly complex.

Can tennis elbow return after treatment?

Yes, if underlying causes are not corrected. That’s why our programmes include strength-building, ergonomic correction, and home exercises to prevent recurrence.
