Elbow Pain Physiotherapy in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh
Elbow pain assessment, treatment and rehabilitation
Elbow pain can make everyday tasks, work and exercise more difficult. Gripping, lifting, typing, carrying bags or leaning through your arm can all become uncomfortable.
What Causes Elbow Pain?
Elbow pain can develop for a number of reasons. It may come on gradually with repetitive activity or training, or start suddenly after an injury or impact. Understanding how your pain started and what makes it worse helps guide your assessment and treatment.
You might be dealing with elbow pain from:
Repetitive gripping, lifting or manual work
Weightlifting, gym training or climbing
Tennis, golf, racket sports or throwing
Desk work and prolonged computer use
A fall, impact or previous elbow injury
Changes in training or activity levels
Nerve-related symptoms such as tingling or numbness into the arm or hand
At Perform Health Co, we’ll assess your elbow, arm and movement, take a detailed history and explain what we find. You’ll receive a clear treatment and rehabilitation plan based on your symptoms, activity and goals.
