Welcome to Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, where we understand that both tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow can be more than just a sports injury. They are forms of tendonitis that can affect anyone, causing pain around the elbow and making daily tasks challenging. Tennis elbow refers to the pain on the outside of the elbow, while golfer’s elbow is pain on the inside. Despite their names, these conditions don’t only affect athletes—they can happen to anyone who engages in repetitive arm and wrist movements.
Here at Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, we believe in the power of a holistic approach for lasting relief. Our detailed understanding of musculoskeletal interactions enables us to provide treatments that not just alleviate the pain but also address the root causes of tennis and golfer’s elbow. We use a range of techniques, including manual therapy, exercises, and lifestyle advice, tailored specifically to your needs to help you get back to your best. Together, we will work towards achieving optimal movement and pain-free performance in all aspects of life.
– Repetitive Motions: Frequent use of the wrist and arm, especially during twisting actions.
– Occupations & Activities: Jobs or hobbies that require constant arm movement, including typing, painting, or playing racquet sports.
– Age Factor: Common in adults between 30-50 years old, but anyone can be affected.
– Lack of Warm-up: Not stretching or warming up properly before physical activity can contribute to injury.
Here at Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, we understand these intricacies and are committed to guiding you through a journey of healing, combining our expertise with your personal recovery goals.
