Conditions

Common injuries of the elbow region include Tennis and Golfers elbow or epicondylitis, these are a form of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) due to overuse of the joint. Pain and swelling may be present either on the outside or inside of the elbow joint, at the point at which the tendons of the forearm and wrist muscles attach.

Initially, treatment may consist of pain-relieving modalities to include electrotherapy and acupuncture. Once the acute pain has settled, your physiotherapist will begin to incorporate soft tissue mobilisations; specific muscle strengthening and stretching, taping and a tailored home exercise regime into your rehabilitation programme.
