What is tennis elbow?

Physio Gabby Giannakos discusses below.

Here’s a hint, you don’t have to play tennis to get this injury!.

Tennis elbow is an irritation / overuse injury of the muscles attaching to the outside of the elbow. When there is an increase in load, change of equipment or weakness of the forearm muscles, the wrist extensor tendons can get overloaded. 💔

Swipe through this post to better understand what causes tennis elbow and some of your treatment options!

Tennis elbow can be a long-lasting injury, so best to get it sorted as soon as you notice the onset of symptoms.

Sound like you?

We’re proud to be sponsoring the club again this year & looking forward to seeing their results.

Come & give it a Tri with the club. g
