Tennis Elbow Treatment in Aberdeen
Despite the name, Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylalgia) is certainly not only for tennis players! We frequently see office workers, manual labourers, and hobbyists across Aberdeen experiencing this frustrating condition.
Tennis elbow can make work painful, distract you during day-to-day tasks like gripping a coffee cup or turning a door handle, and stop you from doing the activities you love.

Understanding Tennis Elbow: Why Is This Happening?
Tennis elbow is usually the result of repetitive strain and imbalances in how you move and produce force through your forearm and wrist. It is an overuse injury of the tendons that attach to the outside of your elbow.
Common Symptoms
You may be experiencing:
- Pain on the outside of the elbow that may radiate down the forearm.
- Weakness in your grip.
- Pain when lifting objects, opening jars, or using a computer mouse.

How ER Physiotherapy Fixes Tennis Elbow
Physiotherapy is widely considered the most effective treatment for tennis elbow. At our Aberdeen clinic, we don’t just treat the pain point; we look at the entire kinetic chain, from your neck and shoulder down to your wrist, to find why that tendon is being overloaded.
Our Approach to Recovery
Our specialist physiotherapists will work to assess the root cause of your pain and create a tailored plan. Treatment often involves:
- Pain Relief: Hands-on techniques to reduce immediate symptoms.
- Load Management: Advice on modifying your daily activities to let the tendon heal.
- Strengthening: Specific, progressive exercises to make the tendon robust again so the pain doesn’t return.
