Tennis & Golfer's Elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) are overuse conditions affecting the tendons that attach to the elbow. Despite the names, these conditions are often caused by everyday activities rather than sports. They can be persistent and frustrating without appropriate treatment.
At Actilife, we use an evidence-based approach combining manual therapy, specific eccentric strengthening exercises, and activity modification to treat elbow tendinopathy effectively. We address contributing factors such as technique, equipment, and ergonomics to prevent recurrence.
