CHH’s Tennis Elbow Recovery Program has been specifically designed to assist you with
Tennis Elbow, or Lateral Epicondylitis, is a condition characterised by pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow. Despite its name, tennis elbow is not limited to tennis players and can affect individuals engaged in various repetitive arm movements. In Australia, it affects almost 3% of adults each year and is more common in males, with onset commonly between 40 and 50 years.
In most cases, the pain begins as mild and slowly worsens over weeks and months. There is usually no specific injury associated with the start of symptoms.
Symptoms of Tennis Elbow include:
The symptoms are often worsened with forearm activity, such as typing, writing, driving, carrying shopping bags, holding a racquet, turning a wrench, grasping objects or shaking hands. Your dominant arm is most often affected; however, both arms can be affected.
Even if you feel like you have managed to live with elbow pain, it can impact and affect your daily life:
Here at CHH, our team of experienced Osteopaths will initially assess your condition to determine its cause and severity through a detailed case history and physical examination. Our team is trained to accurately diagnose the cause of your pain and to differentiate local elbow pain from that involving the neck, wrist, shoulder, upper back and/or nerve structures.
Based on the assessment, we develop an individualised and targeted treatment plan, to get you back on track towards optimal wellbeing!
At CHH, we take a very hands-on and whole-body approach in the treatment and management of your tennis elbow. At times, tennis elbow can be caused and/or maintained by problems in your wrist, shoulder, upper back or even your neck. Your CHH Osteopath will tailor a treatment program for you, using a variety of hands-on techniques, to restore proper function and balance to the body. These may include soft tissue massage, stretching, joint mobilisation, dry needling, muscle energy techniques, counter-strain techniques, manipulation techniques and more.
At CHH, we aim for long lasting results, rather than short term solutions to your tennis elbow. So, your Osteopath at CHH will develop a customised exercise rehab program (including stretching and strengthening exercises), which is a vital step in breaking the cycle which contributes to maintaining your condition. We will focus on increasing your activity/sport and/or returning to work in a way that is managed and appropriate for your condition and current circumstances, putting you back in control of your wellbeing and health.
Education and prevention is essential for long-term management of tennis elbow. The pain and symptoms associated with tennis elbow can be disruptive to your day-to-day life and can often leave you feeling frustrated. The CHH Osteopaths will teach you strategies to break the cycle, preventing recurrence.
Your recovery journey is crucial as it allows the body time to heal, rebuild strength and restore your overall well-being. That way, you will get back to doing the things you love sooner!
The Osteopaths at CHH will work towards your recovery goals, whether they be getting back to work, exercise or playing with the kids. By utilising our 5-step recovery program, we can help you get back to normal movement and function, whilst also preventing your injury from reoccurring.
