Tennis elbow treatment in Gloucestershire
Pain on the outer elbow when you grip, lift or twist? You don't have to play tennis to get it - and the right treatment plus rehab gets your strength and comfort back.
Symptoms of tennis elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a repetitive-strain injury. Watch for:
Common causes
It's caused by overload of the tendons that attach to the outer elbow - from repetitive gripping or lifting at work, in the gym, gardening or DIY, not just racquet sports. It affects far more people than just players.
How we treat it
We assess your elbow, wrist and grip to confirm the diagnosis and gauge severity.
Soft-tissue work, mobilisations, dry needling and taping to offload the tendon and reduce pain.
A progressive strengthening plan - the key to lasting recovery for tendon problems.
If pain is severe, follows a fall, or comes with significant swelling or loss of movement, see your GP to rule out other causes.

Questions about tennis elbow
Will it heal on its own?
It can, but often slowly and with setbacks. Targeted treatment and strengthening typically speed up recovery and reduce the chance of it returning.
How long does it take?
Tendon problems take time - often several weeks to a few months. We'll set realistic expectations and track your progress.
What can I do at home?
We'll give you simple strengthening exercises and activity tweaks to do between sessions, which make a big difference.
