Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are overuse injuries of the tendons around the elbow. They are stubborn but very treatable with the right loading program, and rarely need anything more.
Both are tendon overuse problems. Tennis elbow affects the tendons on the outer elbow that straighten the wrist, while golfer's elbow affects the inner-elbow tendons that bend it. You do not need to play either sport to get them.
They usually build up from repeated gripping, typing, lifting, or tool use. The tendon becomes irritated and sensitive, but with a graded strengthening plan it settles and rebuilds its tolerance.
The key is loading the tendon correctly, not resting it into weakness. I settle the pain, then rebuild strength step by step.
Adjusting the aggravating tasks so the tendon can settle without full rest.
Graded forearm and grip loading, which is what the tendon needs to recover.
Soft tissue work to ease pain and forearm tightness.
Fixing the desk, grip, or sport habits that overloaded it.
Treatment moves through clear stages. I set the pace to suit you, but the path usually looks like this.
I confirm the diagnosis and find what is overloading the tendon.
Reduce irritation with load and activity changes.
Progressive strengthening to rebuild tolerance.
Graded return to work, tools, or sport.
See a doctor if elbow pain follows a fall or blow with swelling and bruising, if you cannot straighten or bend the elbow, or if you get numbness, tingling, or weakness spreading into the hand.
