At DCM Physiotherapy, we provide personalised, evidence-based treatment for tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, helping reduce pain, restore strength and movement, and get you back to the activities you enjoy.

​

Understanding Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow​

​

Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are common causes of pain around the elbow and forearm. Despite their names, they can affect anyone and are not limited to people who play tennis or golf.

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral elbow tendinopathy, usually causes pain around the outside of the elbow and can be associated with overloading of the wrist and forearm extensor tendons.

Golfer’s elbow, also known as medial elbow tendinopathy, causes pain around the inside of the elbow and is commonly associated with overloading of the wrist and forearm flexor tendons.

Common symptoms and contributing factors include:

  • Pain around the inside or outside of the elbow

  • Pain or weakness when gripping or lifting

  • Discomfort when using the wrist or forearm

  • Pain during repetitive activities at work, home, or during sport

  • Tenderness around the affected tendon

  • Reduced grip strength

  • Symptoms following an increase in activity or repetitive loading

  • Difficulty with everyday tasks such as opening jars, carrying bags, or using tools

Without appropriate management, elbow tendinopathy can become persistent and interfere with work, sport, exercise, and everyday activities. Early assessment and a structured rehabilitation programme can help manage symptoms and gradually restore the elbow's capacity.

​

Our Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow Physiotherapy Services​

​

At DCM Physiotherapy, we create tailored treatment plans based on your symptoms, activity levels, lifestyle, and recovery goals.

​

1. Assessment & Diagnosis

A comprehensive assessment of your elbow, wrist, forearm, grip strength, movement, symptoms, and activity levels helps identify the factors contributing to your pain and guides your treatment plan.

2. Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques, including soft tissue techniques and joint mobilisation where appropriate, can help reduce pain, improve movement, and address stiffness around the elbow, wrist, and forearm. Manual therapy can be combined with rehabilitation to support your recovery.

3. Rehabilitation & Exercise Therapy

A personalised rehabilitation programme can help progressively strengthen the muscles and tendons around your elbow, wrist, and forearm. Exercises can be gradually increased according to your symptoms and goals, helping improve strength, grip capacity, and tolerance to everyday and sporting activities.

4. Shockwave

Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to treat persistent tendon pain. It may help stimulate the body's natural healing response, reduce pain, and support recovery in patients with ongoing tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow symptoms.

5. Injection Therapy

For suitable patients with persistent elbow pain, injection therapy may be considered as part of an individualised treatment plan. Following a thorough assessment, we can discuss whether an injection is appropriate for your condition and explain the potential benefits, risks, and alternative treatment options.
