Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) are common overuse injuries that cause pain and tenderness around the elbow. While they are often associated with their respective sports, these conditions frequently affect individuals engaged in repetitive wrist and forearm movements, such as typing, gardening, or manual labour. At Body Form in Avalon, our physiotherapy team offers targeted treatment plans, including dry needling, cupping, and soft tissue release, to help you recover and regain function.
Understanding the Pain
Tennis Elbow: Inflammation or micro-tears in the tendons on the outer elbow caused by repetitive wrist extension or gripping.
Golfer’s Elbow: Similar issues on the inner elbow, often linked to repetitive wrist flexion or gripping motions.
Both conditions result in pain, stiffness, and reduced grip strength, making daily tasks challenging.
How Body Form Can Help
Comprehensive AssessmentOur physiotherapists assess the underlying causes of your pain, including movement patterns, muscle imbalances, and any contributing ergonomic factors. This holistic approach ensures your treatment addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Dry NeedlingDry needling releases tension in tight muscles and improves blood flow to the injured area, accelerating healing and reducing pain.
Cupping TherapyThis technique uses suction to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery. It’s particularly effective for stubborn, chronic cases.
Soft Tissue ReleaseManual therapy focuses on relieving tension in the forearm muscles, restoring flexibility and reducing strain on the tendons.
Rehabilitation ExercisesWe incorporate strengthening and stretching exercises tailored to your needs. These improve tendon resilience, restore function, and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
Ergonomic AdviceFor those affected by work-related repetitive strain, we offer practical tips to adjust your workstation or techniques to minimise stress on your elbows.
