Tennis Elbow presents as pain on the outside of the elbow that makes holding a mug or shaking hands hurt. Most people who get it have never played tennis.
Pain on the outside of your elbow, sometimes down the forearm
Pain lifting, gripping or holding a cup
Pain shaking hands or turning a door handle
A grip that feels weaker than it should
Tennis elbow is an overload of the tendons that attach your forearm muscles to the outside of the elbow. It usually builds up with repeated gripping, lifting and wrist movements.
Office work, trades, DIY, gardening and racket sports are common causes. It can linger for months if left alone, but responds well to the right treatment and loading.
Assessing your elbow, wrist, shoulder and neck, plus what you do day to day. I will look at wider muscle function to find the ultimate overload cause.
Soft tissue work, dry needling and ultrasound treatments as well as specialist neuromuscular activation techniques to address the root cause.

Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book directly. If I think you need a scan or a GP's opinion, I'll tell you.
Will my health insurance cover it?
Most major insurers don't cover sports therapy, but some smaller providers that cover alternative therapies will refund your fees. Check with your insurer.
What should I wear?
No specific clothing is required
A rough description is plenty. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm out of clinic.
