Elbow & Forearm Pain
Effective Physiotherapy for Elbow & Forearm Pain at Physio & More
Pain in the elbow and forearm can severely limit your ability to perform everyday tasks and participate in physical activities. At Physio & More, we specialise in diagnosing and treating conditions like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Biceps Tendinopathy, Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer’s Elbow), and Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow). With our tailored physiotherapy treatments and advanced diagnostic ultrasound, we can pinpoint the exact cause of your discomfort and develop a customised rehabilitation plan to get you moving pain-free.
Common Causes of Elbow & Forearm Pain We Treat
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This condition occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. This can lead to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and forearm. Our physiotherapists use manual therapy, nerve gliding exercises, and ergonomic advice to reduce pressure on the nerve and restore function. - Biceps Tendinopathy
At its distal attachment just beyond the elbow crease in the proximal forearm, the distal biceps tendon becomes inflamed or degenerative due to overuse or ‘wear and tear’. This condition is problematic for a wide range of patients, from elite athletes and regular gym users, to manual labourers. At Physio & More, we focus on reducing inflammation, improving tendon strength and conditioning, and guiding you through a structured rehabilitation program to get help you return to full function. - Medial Epicondylitis
Golfer’s Elbow causes pain and inflammation on the inside of the elbow, often due to overuse of the forearm flexor muscles. At Physio & More, we provide therapies such as soft tissue mobilisation, strengthening exercises, and ultrasound-guided treatments to alleviate pain and promote healing. - Lateral Epicondylitis
Tennis Elbow is a common overuse injury that affects the outer part of the elbow. It typically results from repetitive motions of the forearm extensor muscles, such as gripping or lifting. We treat Tennis Elbow with a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and postural correction to relieve pain and prevent recurrence – plus the option of ultrasound-guided treatments.
Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging
At Physio & More, we use diagnostic ultrasound to gain a clear picture of what’s happening in your elbow and forearm. Ultrasound allows us to see key soft tissue structures such as muscles, tendons, and nerves in real time, providing an accurate diagnosis for conditions like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Biceps Tendonitis and both Medial and Lateral Epicondylitis.
This advanced imaging helps our talented sonographers pinpoint the source of your pain and tailor treatments to your specific needs, ensuring faster and more effective recovery.
Our Approach to Treating Elbow & Forearm Pain
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
During your initial consultation, we conduct a detailed assessment of your symptoms, range of motion, and muscle strength. If necessary, we can undertake a diagnostic elbow ultrasound to confirm any structural abnormality and develop a precise treatment plan.
Step 2: Customised Treatment Plan
Once the cause of your elbow or forearm pain is identified, we create a personalised treatment plan that may include manual therapy, strengthening exercises, and treatment modalities like shockwave therapy. Our treatments are designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent future issues.
Step 3: Long-Term Recovery & Prevention
We don’t just focus on short-term relief. Our team will guide you through rehabilitation exercises and provide advice on ergonomics, posture, and activity modifications to mitigate against future injuries. Whether you’re recovering from Golfer’s Elbow, Tennis Elbow, or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, our goal is to ensure long-lasting improvements.
