Read our blog to find out how effective physiotherapy can help relieve elbow pain, improve strength and mobility, restore movement, and prevent it returning.
Elbow pain can make even simple daily activities such as lifting, typing, or even holding objects uncomfortable and frustrating. Whether your pain developed gradually from repetitive use, like with tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow, or appeared suddenly after an injury, it can impact work, hobbies, and sports. Here at Gosforth Physio & Wellness, our physiotherapy approach focuses on treating the root cause of elbow pain, helping you recover efficiently and prevent recurrence.
Assessment & Diagnosis
Our expert physiotherapists in Newcastle begin with a thorough assessment to identify the exact source of your symptoms. This includes evaluating your tendon function, joint mobility, strength, and any contributing factors such as posture, ergonomics, or repetitive strain. Understanding the cause of your pain ensures a personalised treatment plan that targets your needs and supports long-term recovery.
Hands-On Techniques for Pain Relief
Manual therapy is central to our elbow pain treatment. Techniques including joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, and trigger point therapy help relax tight muscles, improve joint movement, and reduce pain. On top of this, therapies such as dry needling, acupuncture, and taping may be used to relieve tension, calm inflammation, and restore normal function in the affected area.
Targeted Exercise & Rehabilitation
Exercise is another key part of preventing pain from returning. Our physiotherapists design tailored programs that include strengthening, stretching, and Pilates-based exercises. These improve muscle balance, enhance joint stability, and restore functional movement. Pilates also supports posture and overall body awareness, reducing the strain on your elbow during everyday activities or sports.
Supporting Everyday Movement
Elbow pain can stem from a variety of conditions, including overuse injuries, tendonitis, nerve irritation, or arthritis. Alongside treatment, our team provides practical advice on posture, activity modification, and ergonomics, ensuring that you can stay active safely while supporting your recovery.
At Gosforth Physio & Wellness, our goal is to help you move without pain, regain strength, and return to daily activities and sports with confidence. Through personalised care and evidence-based treatments, effective relief from elbow pain is possible; contact our team to book your initial appointment today.
