Tennis Elbow Treatment in Bunbury
Effective Physio for Elbow Pain & Overuse Injuries
Are you feeling pain or weakness on the outside of your elbow when gripping, lifting, or typing? You might be dealing with Tennis Elbow—a common overuse condition we frequently treat at Spine & Sports Physio Bunbury.
Also known as Lateral Epicondylitis, tennis elbow occurs when the tendons in your forearm become overloaded, leading to pain and reduced function. Whether you’re a tradie, office worker, or fitness enthusiast, early treatment can make a big difference in recovery.
What Is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow is an overuse injury affecting the tendons on the outside of the elbow, usually caused by repetitive wrist or grip activities. Despite the name, it’s not limited to athletes—anyone who performs frequent manual or computer-based tasks is at risk.
Common Tennis Elbow Symptoms
You may be experiencing tennis elbow if you notice:
Dull, aching pain on the outside of the elbow
Tenderness to touch
Pain with gripping tools, weights, or objects
Weak grip strength
Discomfort that worsens with activity but improves with rest
Throbbing at night, especially after a heavy day at work
What Causes Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow develops from repeated stress and micro-tears in the forearm tendons that help straighten your fingers and wrist. Over time, the tendon begins to degenerate, causing pain and weakness.
Common risk factors include:
Sudden increase in workload (DIY, renovations, gym)
Repetitive tool use (hammering, drilling, painting)
Office-based work with prolonged keyboard use
Sports involving racquets or weightlifting
Without proper intervention, tennis elbow can last 6+ months, potentially requiring cortisone injections or even surgery.
