Common Concerns

Frequently Asked Questions

Tennis elbow is a tendinopathy that typically takes 6-12 weeks to improve with physiotherapy. Chronic cases may take longer, but most patients see gradual improvement with consistent treatment and exercise.
Usually not. We'll help you modify your activity level and technique to allow healing while maintaining fitness. Complete rest isn't always beneficial and can lead to deconditioning.
Most elbow conditions respond well to physiotherapy alone. Injections are occasionally used for persistent cases, and surgery is rarely needed. We'll explore all conservative options first.
Yes, absolutely. Elbow pain from desk work is common and very treatable. We'll assess your workstation setup, provide ergonomic modifications, and teach you exercises to strengthen and protect your elbows.
