Tennis Elbow: Lateral Elbow Pain
Tennis elbow shows up as a sharp, localised pain on the outside of the elbow — usually when gripping, lifting, twisting or carrying anything with weight. It’s common in people who use tools, lift repeatedly, or do any task that forces the forearm to work harder than it should. The pain often builds gradually, then starts catching every time you pick something up or extend your arm.
I treat clients from Cavan, Monaghan, Leitrim and Fermanagh here in Belturbet. With 26 years of remedial massage and body work experience, I focus on the forearm tension & load‑transfer issues that keep the tendon irritated & stop it settling down.
How It Helps
- Direct, targeted work through the extensor muscles that pull on the elbow. This reduces the constant strain on the tendon.
- Precise pressure to calm the irritated attachment point and help it settle.
- Freeing tight areas that force the elbow to absorb strain during lifting or gripping.
- Simple, practical adjustments to reduce flare‑ups — without telling you to stop working or training.
- Advice on stretches and movement to reduce recurrence
The elbow becomes painful, but the actual strain is coming from the forearm. Until the forearm tension is reduced, the tendon keeps getting pulled on with every lift, grip or twist.
What This Treatment Involves
I don’t do relaxation massage or temporary fixes.
When you come in with tennis elbow, the session is focused entirely on reducing the tension through the forearm and easing the load on the irritated tendon. Everything is hands‑on, practical and aimed at reducing the catching pain and improving how your forearm handles load throughout the day.
