WHEN SHOULD YOU GET HELP FOR ELBOW PAIN?
Elbow pain is typically caused by overuse. This is where common injuries such as tennis elbow and golfers elbow derive their names from. At Move Physiotherapy, we specialise in helping clients recover from elbow pain, regaining strength and function for long-term relief.
TYPES OF ELBOW PAIN THAT WE TREAT:
REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURIES:
Conditions like tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are caused by repetitive movements that strain the tendons.
You don’t have to be a tennis player or golfer to develop these issues—activities like gardening, typing, or even carrying bags can contribute.
ACUTE INJURIES:
Sudden trauma, such as a fall or direct impact, can result in sprains, dislocations, or fractures.
WORK-RELATED OVERLOAD:
Long hours at a computer or performing repetitive manual tasks can lead to chronic tension and inflammation.
OTHER CAUSES:
Conditions like arthritis, nerve entrapment, or bursitis can also cause pain and stiffness in the elbow.
