What is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common condition that causes pain around the outside of the elbow. Despite its name, tennis elbow is not limited to tennis players. It can affect anyone who performs repetitive movements of the forearm, wrist, or elbow, leading to small tears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. These microtears cause inflammation, pain, and tenderness around the affected area.
At Active Pulse Physiotherapy, we specialize in treating tennis elbow using a combination of hands-on therapy, exercises, and patient education. Our approach focuses on reducing pain, improving strength and flexibility, and preventing future recurrences.
