Lateral and medial epicondylalgia, distal biceps, and post-surgical elbow protocols for clinicians.
The elbow links your upper arm to your forearm and hand, so even minor problems here can affect gripping, lifting, and typing. Pain on the outer or inner side is often a tendon issue — commonly known as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow — while stiffness or weakness can follow a fracture or surgery.
Most elbow pain responds well to physiotherapy, particularly progressive strengthening exercises that gradually rebuild the tendon's tolerance to load. In this section you'll find evidence-based assessment and treatment guidance for the common elbow conditions, including lateral and medial epicondylalgia and post-surgical rehab — practical for clinicians and clear enough for patients to understand what helps and why.
This blog compares the two different kind of loading used for the management of lateral elbow tendinopathy, distinguishes the established findings from prevailing assumptions, and translates the conclusions into practical guidance for exercise prescription.
