Tennis & Golfer's Elbow Treatment in South Surrey

Tennis elbow (outer) and golfer's elbow (inner) are tendon problems at the elbow caused by repetitive gripping and wrist load — and despite the names, most people who get them have never swung a racquet.

What it is

Understanding tennis & golfer's elbow treatment

Tennis elbow (outer) and golfer's elbow (inner) are tendon problems at the elbow caused by repetitive gripping and wrist load — and despite the names, most people who get them have never swung a racquet. Keyboards, tools, and lifting are the usual culprits.

Common symptoms

  • Pain on the outer or inner elbow bone
  • Weak or painful grip — shaking hands, lifting a kettle
  • Pain with typing, tool use, or repetitive tasks
  • Tenderness when pressing on the elbow
  • Aching that lingers after activity

Common causes

  • Repetitive gripping and wrist work
  • Sudden spikes in load — new job tasks, new training
  • Forearm strength that hasn't kept up with demand
  • Sport technique placing extra load on the tendon

How we treat it

Our approach at Mvmt Theory

Tendons recover through progressive loading, not rest — so treatment centres on a graded strengthening program for the forearm, alongside hands-on therapy for symptom relief and practical changes to the tasks that aggravate it. We'll also advise on braces honestly: useful for some, unnecessary for others.
