Tennis or Golfers Elbow

Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) are common conditions that cause pain and discomfort in the elbow and forearm. These conditions can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities and enjoy your favourite sports. At our clinic, we specialise in treating both golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow through a combination of osteopathy and physical therapy, offering a comprehensive and personalised approach to your recovery.

Understanding Golfer’s Elbow and Tennis Elbow

Both golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow are forms of tendinopathy, which involve inflammation and microtears in the tendons that attach to the elbow.

• Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis):

  • This condition affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow, causing pain and tenderness on the inner side of the forearm.

  • Common activities that can lead to golfer’s elbow include golfing, throwing sports, racket sports, and activities that involve repetitive wrist flexion or gripping.

• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis):

  • This condition affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow, causing pain and tenderness on the outer side of the forearm.

  • Common activities that can lead to tennis elbow include tennis, racket sports, painting, plumbing, and activities that involve repetitive wrist extension or gripping.
