Tennis & golfer's elbow · Botley, Oxford
Elbow tendon pain rarely settles with rest alone. At our Botley clinic, a few minutes' drive from central Oxford, a chartered, HCPC-registered physiotherapist confirms the diagnosis, treats the elbow and builds the loading programme that makes gripping comfortable again.
Pain on the outside of the elbow when gripping, lifting a kettle, shaking hands, using a mouse or carrying shopping.
Pain on the inside of the elbow with gripping, wrist bending and lifting, often with tenderness spreading into the forearm.
Reduced grip strength, aching after DIY, racket sport or keyboard work, and pain that returns each time you resume activity.
These are tendon loading problems, not inflammation you can simply rest away. The tendon becomes intolerant of the demand placed on it, so complete rest reduces pain briefly and then the problem returns when you go back to normal use.
We reduce the aggravating load, use manual therapy and neck or shoulder screening where relevant, then rebuild grip and forearm capacity with a measured strength programme. For pain lasting several months, focused shockwave therapy is often added to stimulate the tendon's response.
We confirm which tendon is involved and rule out neck or nerve contributions to your pain.
Hands-on treatment, load management and, for persistent cases, focused shockwave therapy.
Progressive grip and forearm strengthening so work, DIY and sport stop flaring the elbow.
