Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) are common musculoskeletal conditions where the tendons of the elbow become inflamed and painful due to overuse or repetitive movements. These conditions can limit daily activities, sports performance, and work tasks.
Strong and flexible elbows protect your freedom of movement both in sports and in daily life.
Physiotherapy offers an effective approach to reduce pain, strengthen muscles, and support tendon healing in tennis and golfer's elbow. Targeted exercises, manual therapy, and stretching techniques improve the function of the elbow and forearm muscles while balancing tendon load.
The exercises focus on the muscles and tendons surrounding the elbow. Regular practice enhances tendon flexibility, maintains muscle balance, and reduces strain caused by repetitive movements. This not only controls pain but also supports functional use of the elbow. Manual therapy and mobilization techniques increase the mobility of the elbow joint and surrounding soft tissues. Gentle, guided therapy alleviates pain and accelerates tendon healing. Treatment is personalized based on the severity of injury, daily activities, and sports habits of each individual, ensuring both short-term relief and long-term tendon health. Patients are also provided with home exercises and movement recommendations. When combined with ergonomics, proper posture, and correct sports techniques, this approach helps the elbow regain strength and move without pain.
