Elbow pain can be a major obstacle in your daily routine, affecting tasks such as lifting,
gripping, and even turning a doorknob. At Metro Physio, we focus on diagnosing and
treating elbow pain with customised care to help you regain your functionality and reduce
discomfort.
Understanding Elbow Pain
Elbow pain typically results from overuse and repetitive strain, especially in individuals
engaged in activities involving frequent motion or heavy lifting. Common conditions include
Golfer’s elbow (pain on the inner side of the elbow) and Tennis elbow (pain on the outer
side), often caused by ongoing stress on the elbow and forearm muscles.
Symptoms of Elbow Pain
Signs of elbow pain include:
- Forearm tightness
- Wrist stiffness
- Weakness in wrist muscles
- Persistent elbow discomfort
These symptoms suggest overuse or strain on the tendons in your elbow.
