Elbow pain and injury can affect gripping, lifting, pushing, pulling, and repetitive upper limb tasks at work or in sport. Because the elbow acts as a link between the shoulder and wrist, symptoms are often influenced by movement patterns, strength, and load tolerance throughout the entire upper limb rather than the elbow alone.
Physiotherapy for elbow conditions at Physio Theory focuses on restoring strength, control, and load tolerance to support pain free daily activity, work, and sport.
Common Elbow Symptoms
You may benefit from physiotherapy if you are experiencing
Elbow pain with gripping or lifting
Pain during repetitive tasks or sport
Weakness in the forearm or hand
Pain on the inner or outer elbow
Stiffness or loss of elbow motion
Symptoms that persist despite rest
Pain following a strain or overuse
Physiotherapy treatment for elbow conditions may include
Progressive loading of elbow and forearm tissues
Strengthening of the forearm, wrist, and upper limb musculature
Improving movement coordination of the shoulder and wrist
Activity and load management strategies
Gradual return to gripping and sport specific tasks
Manual therapy when indicated
Elbow pain is often influenced by how force is generated and transferred through the upper limb and trunk. When appropriate, performance testing and movement diagnostics may be used to identify strength deficits, asymmetries, or loading patterns that contribute to persistent elbow symptoms.
Objective assessment helps guide progression and reduce recurrence.
