TENNIS ELBOW: UNDERSTANDING YOUR TENDON 📊

Not all tennis elbow is the same! Understanding what stage your tendon is at helps guide the right treatment 🎯

The Tendon Continuum:

1️⃣ Healthy Tendon ✅ Strong, resilient, pain-free

2️⃣ Reactive Tendinopathy ⚡ Sudden overload causing swelling and pain. More common in younger patients Recent onset

3️⃣ Degenerative Tendinopathy 📉 Longer-term cell changes Usually painless but higher rupture risk Develops over time

The MOST important thing?

Your tendon CAN heal and get stronger again if you do the right things! 💪

Here's what makes tennis elbow tricky:
Pain and injury don't always happen at the same time. You might have:

A tendon that looks horrible on a scan but doesn't hurt 🤷‍♂️
A tendon that looks wonderful but hurts a lot 😣

Why? Pain isn't only about the tissue, it's also about how sensitive your nervous system has become!
Recovery is about making both your tendon AND your body's pain system feel safe again 🧠

Want to understand YOUR elbow pain better? Our Chartered Physiotherapists can assess what stage you're at and create the right treatment plan!

🎾 TENNIS ELBOW - IT'S NOT JUST FOR TENNIS PLAYERS! 🎾

Got persistent soreness on the outside of your elbow that won't go away? That's tennis elbow - and you don't need to play tennis to get it! 💪

Who gets tennis elbow?

Anyone who uses their arm and wrist a lot:

✅ Typing at a computer 💻
✅ Lifting heavy objects 📦
✅ Gripping tools 🔧
✅ Repetitive work tasks
✅ Sports activities 🏸
What's really going on?

It's NOT inflammation (tendonitis) - it's a tendinopathy!

Your tendon has changed structure trying to handle the stress you're putting on it. Think of tendons like chains connecting your bones and muscles, they can handle a lot, but too much repetitive stress causes structural changes.

The good news?

It's not "damaged" in the usual way , it just needs to be loaded in the right way to get strong again! 🎯

Here's the thing: Pain and injury don't always match up! You can have a tendon that looks terrible on a scan but doesn't hurt, or one that looks fine but hurts a lot.

Recovery is about making both the tendon AND your nervous system feel safe again! 💚

Struggling with elbow pain? Let's get you back to pain-free movement!
