Hands & Elbows
Helping you get back to gripping, lifting and doing the things you love, pain-free
Tennis Elbow
Elbow pain holding you back? Get back to lifting, gripping and enjoying everyday activities without discomfort.
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral elbow tendinopathy, causes pain around the outside of the elbow. Despite its name, it is not just caused by playing tennis. It commonly develops through repetitive arm and wrist movements, overuse or activities involving repeated gripping and lifting.
Symptoms can include pain on the outside of the elbow, tenderness, reduced grip strength and discomfort when lifting objects, turning door handles or using your wrist.
At RD Physio in Wokingham, we assess the underlying cause of your elbow pain and provide individualised physiotherapy to help reduce symptoms, improve tendon strength and restore normal arm function.
Treatment may include hands-on therapy, appropriate strengthening exercises, movement advice and a progressive rehabilitation programme tailored to your needs.
