Understanding Elbow Pain
Where do you feel the pain?
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are commonly associated with pain around the tendons near the elbow. Symptoms may develop gradually after repeated loading or changes in activity. Other conditions can also cause elbow pain, so an assessment helps guide care.
Tennis Elbow
Often causes pain around the outer side of the elbow. Gripping, lifting with the palm facing down or repetitive wrist movements may aggravate symptoms.
Golfer's Elbow
Often causes pain around the inner side of the elbow. Repeated gripping, wrist bending or forearm loading may contribute to symptoms.
Grip Weakness
Pain can make it difficult to hold a bottle, carry groceries, open containers or perform other tasks requiring grip.
Pain During Work or Household Tasks
Repeated lifting, tool use, computer work or household activities may become uncomfortable when the elbow is sensitive to loading.
Assessment First
A plan tailored to your elbow and daily activities
Assessment may include the location and behaviour of pain, elbow and wrist movement, grip tolerance, relevant strength tests and the activities that trigger symptoms. Your history also helps identify when further medical assessment may be necessary.
01. Symptom Assessment
Reviewing how symptoms started, which activities aggravate them and whether pain is affecting work, sleep or daily function.
02. Movement & Strength
Checking relevant elbow, wrist and forearm movements and assessing strength or grip tolerance when appropriate.
03. Activity Modification
Identifying ways to adjust repetitive tasks and manage loading without unnecessarily avoiding all movement.
04. Progressive Rehabilitation
Planning suitable exercises and gradually increasing the demands placed on the forearm according to your response.
Physiotherapy Management
What may be included in your programme?
- Individualised wrist and forearm strengthening exercises.
- Graded tendon-loading exercises selected for your tolerance.
- Advice on modifying gripping, lifting and repetitive activities.
- Progressive exercises to support everyday function and work tasks.
- Review of symptom response and adjustment of exercise intensity.
Exercise selection and progression depend on the assessment findings. Hands-on techniques or physical modalities may be considered as supportive options when appropriate, but they do not replace an individualised rehabilitation plan.
Everyday Advice
Managing elbow symptoms between sessions
Adjust Painful Tasks
Temporarily reduce or modify activities that repeatedly provoke symptoms, then build back up as your tolerance improves.
Vary Your Grip
Where practical, use comfortable grip positions, avoid unnecessary force and break up prolonged repetitive tasks.
Progress Gradually
Increase exercise resistance or repetitions step by step rather than making sudden increases in workload.
Track Your Response
Notice how symptoms respond during activity and afterwards. Persistent worsening pain is a reason to review your plan.
When to Seek Medical Care
Do not ignore unusual elbow symptoms
- Seek urgent medical assessment after a significant injury if the elbow looks deformed, is severely swollen or cannot be moved normally.
- Prompt review is needed for a hot, red or markedly swollen elbow, particularly if you also have fever or feel unwell.
- New or progressive numbness, significant weakness or loss of sensation in the hand should be assessed.
- Chest discomfort or shortness of breath with arm or elbow-region pain warrants emergency medical assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tennis Elbow & Golfer's Elbow FAQs
Can tennis elbow happen even if I do not play tennis?
Yes. Tennis elbow can occur in people who do not play tennis. Repeated gripping, lifting and wrist movements during work or household activities may contribute to symptoms.
What is the difference between tennis elbow and golfer's elbow?
Tennis elbow typically causes pain around the outer elbow, while golfer's elbow typically causes pain around the inner elbow. An assessment can help determine whether symptoms fit either pattern.
Should I stop using my arm completely?
Complete rest is not usually necessary for every case. Modifying aggravating activities and gradually rebuilding tolerance may be more appropriate, depending on your symptoms and assessment.
How long does tennis elbow take to improve?
Recovery varies with symptom duration, workload, severity and response to rehabilitation. Improvement may take weeks or months, and a fixed recovery time cannot be guaranteed.
Can physiotherapy help with grip weakness?
Physiotherapy may help improve grip tolerance and forearm strength when symptoms are related to tendon loading. New or substantial weakness should be assessed to rule out other causes.
