If you’ve got pain on the outside of your elbow, chances are you’ve tried rubbing it, resting it, or thinking about a cortisone injection.
Here’s the truth:
Tennis elbow isn’t an inflammation problem — it’s a load problem.
Your tendon has been asked to handle more than it’s capable of managing. Whether that’s from tennis, gym, gardening, tools, or long hours on the mouse, the result is the same — overload.
And unless you fix the load vs capacity imbalance, the pain lingers.
The 5-Step Plan That Actually Works
At BSPC, we follow a simple evidence-based framework:
Relative rest — reduce aggravating load (but don’t stop completely)
Correct bracing or taping — positioned properly to offload the tendon
Strengthening — the right exercise, in the right position, at the right dosage matter
Neck & nerve assessment — often overlooked but critical for success
Hands on techniques — science proven skills to reduce pain and improve strength tolerance
Most people stay stuck because they treat symptoms — not the root cause.
Massage the sore spot? Makes it worse.
Cortisone too early? Short-term relief, poorer long-term outcomes.
Complete rest? It weakens the tendon further.

If your elbow pain has been hanging around for weeks (or months), you likely need a structured progression plan — not guesswork.
Our physio team will assess your elbow, identify the real driver, and guide you step-by-step back to pain-free gripping, lifting and training.
