You don't need to play tennis to get tennis elbow. It is a tendon overload from repeated gripping and wrist movement, common in homemakers, office workers, mechanics and anyone who uses their hands a lot.
We combine tendon-loading exercises with soft-tissue techniques like IASTM and dry needling to reduce pain and restore grip strength.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to stop using my arm completely?
No. Complete rest weakens the tendon. We modify aggravating activities and gradually load the tendon so it becomes stronger.
Will an elbow strap help?
A counter-force strap can reduce pain during activity for some people, alongside exercise.
How long does tennis elbow take to heal?
Tendons heal slowly; consistent exercise over several weeks usually gives the best results.
