L Wright's Story
Overloading or increased repetition of specific movements can result in an overuse injury such as lateral epicondylitis – also known as tennis elbow. This is where the tendons can become
swollen, or small tears can appear, and cause a constant ache, with or without sharp pains, into the outside of your elbow.
Through deep tissue massage, frictions over the tendons and
trigger point therapy, with the addition of a stretch and strengthening programme to correctly increase the load through the tendon, we were able to eliminate the symptoms and prevent re-occurrence.
Review
"After a change in job, I noticed some discomfort starting in my elbow but just left it, thinking it would go over time. However, three months later it was still there and slowly getting worse.
I saw Beth and she said I was struggling with tennis elbow.
I had six appointments with Beth where she treated my elbow and gave me some homework to do, and now I am completely pain free! Would 110% recommend!"
