Our Approach to Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a tendinopathy of the common extensor tendon at the outer elbow — characterised by pain and tenderness over the lateral epicondyle, weakness of grip, and pain with wrist extension and gripping activities. Despite the name, tennis elbow is most commonly caused by repetitive forearm use in work and daily activities rather than tennis.
Pro Health Clinic's approach to tennis elbow combines manual therapy to address joint mobility and neural sensitivity, progressive tendon loading through structured exercise rehabilitation, and modifications to the activities perpetuating the condition. For persistent cases, shockwave therapy has strong evidence for effectiveness and is available at the clinic. Most cases of tennis elbow resolve fully with appropriate conservative management.
What We Treat
- Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) diagnosis and grading
- Progressive tendon loading rehabilitation
- Manual therapy for elbow and wrist joint mobility
- Shockwave therapy for chronic or stubborn cases
- Activity modification and ergonomic advice
- Bracing and load management strategies
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Tennis elbow assessment includes provocation testing to confirm the diagnosis and assess severity, grip strength assessment, and review of the activities driving the condition. Your practitioner will prescribe an initial exercise program and provide advice on managing the condition day-to-day while treatment progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pro Health Clinic from Lewisham?

Do you treat Lewisham patients?

How long does tennis elbow take to heal near Lewisham?
Tennis elbow is a tendinopathy and can be slow to resolve without appropriate management. With structured rehabilitation — particularly progressive tendon loading exercises — most cases significantly improve within 6-12 weeks. Chronic cases that have been present for many months may take longer. Ignoring the condition and continuing provocative activities is the most common reason for delayed recovery.
Does a cortisone injection help tennis elbow near Lewisham?
Cortisone injections can provide short-term pain relief for tennis elbow, but research shows they often result in worse outcomes at 6-12 months compared to physiotherapy. They are best reserved for cases where pain is too severe to engage in rehabilitation, used as a bridge to allow exercise to commence. Your practitioner will discuss the evidence with you.
Should I wear an elbow brace for tennis elbow near Lewisham?
A counterforce brace (tennis elbow strap worn below the elbow) can provide temporary symptom relief during provocative activities by reducing load on the lateral epicondyle. It is a load management tool, not a treatment. Bracing should be combined with rehabilitation, not used as a sole intervention.
