What It Is and Why It Happens
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) are overload injuries of the tendons where the forearm muscles attach at the elbow. Despite the names, most cases come from repetitive gripping and lifting at work — trades, warehouse, cleaning, computer use — rather than sport. Pain sits on the bony point of the elbow, worsens with gripping, turning a doorknob or lifting a kettle, and can linger for months if it is only rested.
These are tendinopathies, not inflammation, so the fix is progressive tendon loading that rebuilds tolerance — not just avoiding the activity.
Elbow Problems We Treat
Our physiotherapists at Cityscape Square NE assess and treat:
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
- Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
- Elbow pain from repetitive work and lifting

- Cubital tunnel syndrome (ulnar nerve)
- Biceps and triceps tendinopathy
- Elbow stiffness after fracture or immobilization
- Referred elbow pain from the neck
How We Treat Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow
Assessment confirms the tendon, rules out nerve and neck referral, and looks at grip and wrist mechanics. Treatment centres on a graded isometric-to-eccentric loading program, manual therapy, dry needling and Graston technique for the forearm, a counterforce brace for work, and ergonomic changes to tools and workstation. Stubborn cases may be considered for shockwave; ask us.
Work-related elbow pain is covered through WCB. See also elbow pain physiotherapy and wrist pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow Treatment
With a loading program, most improve in 6–12 weeks. Cases that have been rested for months can take longer to rebuild.
A counterforce brace helps during gripping tasks at work while the tendon recovers; it is a support, not a cure.
Pain on the outside with gripping is typical, but neck referral and nerve entrapment can mimic it. The assessment checks.
