Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
We use eccentric exercises for the extensor tendons, manual therapy to break down adhesions, and ergonomic education to reduce repetitive strain. Gradual return-to-sport progressions ensure safe re-entry. Within Palm Beach County’s active population—tennis players in Boca Raton, weekend gardeners in Lake Worth—lateral elbow pain is a common complaint. Early sessions might revolve around reducing inflammation and gently mobilizing the extensor tendons. As pain decreases, you’ll perform progressive wrist extension and grip-strengthening exercises. We also look at your racket grip size or wrist posture when using a computer mouse to prevent future flare-ups. Our ultimate goal is to help you move freely, whether on the tennis court or typing at a desk.

Key Benefits:
Most cases improve within 6–12 weeks if caught early. Chronic cases may need a more extended approach. Throughout therapy, your progress is gauged by reduced tenderness at the lateral epicondyle and increased grip strength. By following your therapist’s instructions, taking occasional breaks from repetitive wrist tasks, and adhering to daily exercises, you can typically return to sports or hand-intensive jobs pain-free.
Do I have to stop playing tennis?
A short break may help initially, but we focus on modifying your technique and gradually resuming play as you heal.
Is a tennis elbow brace helpful?
A counterforce brace can offload the tendon temporarily. We still emphasize exercise-based solutions for long-term relief.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming persistent pain can be. That’s why we’re here to help. Our caring team of physical therapists will listen to your concerns, create a custom treatment plan just for you, and work by your side every step of the way—so you can get back to living life on your terms.
