What Are Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow?

Tennis elbow involves inflammation or micro-tearing of the tendons on the outer part of the elbow, typically caused by repetitive wrist and arm motions. It doesn’t just affect tennis players—it’s common in anyone who uses their arms frequently for gripping, lifting, typing, or manual labor.

Golfer’s elbow, by contrast, affects the inner part of the elbow, with pain radiating toward the wrist. This condition also results from repetitive use, particularly motions that involve flexing the wrist or rotating the forearm inward.

 

Both conditions can cause:

 

  • Aching or sharp pain in the elbow
  • Weak grip strength
  • Stiffness or tenderness
  • Pain that worsens with activity
  • Radiating pain down the arm or into the forearm

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, our team can provide targeted elbow pain relief and rehabilitation to get you back on track.

 

Personalized Tennis Elbow Treatment

Our approach to tennis elbow treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms, daily activities, and contributing factors. We look beyond the elbow to identify movement imbalances in the wrist, shoulder, and neck that may be placing extra strain on your elbow tendons.

 

Treatment may include:

 

  • Manual therapy to release tight soft tissue
  • Joint mobilization to improve range of motion
  • Targeted strengthening of the forearm, wrist, and shoulder
  • Ergonomic education and activity modification
  • Progressive loading of the tendon for healing and resilience
  • Dry needling or other techniques as appropriate for pain management

With the right combination of treatment and support, many patients see significant improvement in just a few weeks.

 

Golfer’s Elbow Physical Therapy

Golfer’s elbow physical therapy at Physique Therapy focuses on reducing pain and inflammation, restoring functional strength, and correcting poor movement patterns that cause strain. Whether your pain started from a swing on the golf course or daily repetitive work tasks, we treat it with precision and care.

 

Your personalized plan may include:

 

  • Soft tissue massage and myofascial release
  • Tendon loading protocols and eccentric exercises
  • Strengthening of grip, forearm, and postural muscles
  • Joint alignment work for the elbow, wrist, and shoulder
  • Bracing or taping to support healing during activity
  • Gradual return to sport or work tasks without pain

Our therapists work closely with you to track progress and adjust your program as needed to ensure full and lasting recovery.

 

Sports Elbow Injury Rehab for Active Individuals

If your injury occurred during sports or exercise, our sports elbow injury rehab programs are designed to get you back in the game quickly and safely.
