Advanced Solutions for Elbow & Overuse Injuries
At ALO Physiotherapy, we don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Elbow pain and repetitive strain injuries are often the result of complex biomechanical issues that require more than just rest.
By combining pioneering medical technology with expert manual therapy, we create bespoke recovery pathways designed to eliminate pain, restore full range of motion, and prevent future recurrence.
Explore how our specialist treatments can help you get back to the activities you love:
Tennis Elbow: Lateral Epicondylitis
Tennis elbow involves inflammation or micro-tearing of the tendons on the outside of the elbow. We focus on stimulating the body’s natural healing response and improving tendon resilience.
Shockwave Therapy is highly effective for breaking down calcifications and stimulating blood flow in chronic cases. We combine this with Tecar Therapy to reduce inflammation and Human Performance Screening to identify any biomechanical imbalances in the wrist or shoulder contributing to the strain.
Acupuncture for pain management and Massage Therapy to release tension in the forearm extensors.
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
This condition affects the inner tendons of the elbow, often caused by repetitive gripping or swinging. Our goal is to reduce acute pain and restore functional grip strength.
Cryoultrasound Therapy is excellent for the acute phase to provide deep thermal relief and reduce swelling. Vibra3.0 vibration therapy is utilised to improve muscle recruitment and tendon loading without overstressing the joint.
Clinical Pilates helps build core and scapular stability to take the pressure off the arm, while Physiotherapy provides a structured eccentric loading program for long-term recovery.
RSI
RSI is often a complex, multi-area condition affecting the nerves and soft tissues of the hand, wrist, and arm. We use a whole-system approach to calm the nervous system and restore mobility.
NESA Therapy Treatment is a game changer for RSI, as it works on the autonomic nervous system to reduce the global pain often associated with chronic strain. Neuro Physiotherapy techniques are used if there is nerve entrapment or tingling.
Home Visits are available for ergonomic assessments of your workspace, combined with Sports Injury rehabilitation principles to ensure you can return to work or hobbies pain free.
When to Consider Treatment
What Causes These Conditions?
Overuse injuries occur when repetitive strain outpaces the body’s ability to repair itself. Here is the primary cause for each condition:
- Tennis Elbow is caused by repetitive wrist extension and lifting, leading to micro-tears in the tendons on the outside of the elbow.
- Golfer’s Elbow is caused by forceful gripping and wrist flexion, which irritates the tendons on the inside of the elbow.
- RSI is caused by static loading and high-frequency tasks such as typing, resulting in a combination of muscle fatigue and sensitised nerves across the hand, wrist, and arm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Every injury is unique, but most patients see a significant improvement within 3 to 6 sessions. Chronic conditions like Tennis Elbow or long-term RSI may require a longer course of treatment combined with specialised technology like Shockwave Therapy to ensure the tendon fully regenerates.
Is treatment painful?
Our goal is to reduce your pain, not increase it. While treatments like Shockwave can feel “intense” for a few minutes, we always work within your comfort threshold. Technologies like NESA and Tecar Therapy are generally very relaxing and non-invasive.
I don’t play sports; why do I have Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow?
Despite their names, these are overuse injuries. Most of our patients develop these conditions through everyday activities like typing, gardening, DIY, or even lifting a heavy kettle. We treat the movement pattern, regardless of whether it happened on a court or in an office.
Can I still work while receiving treatment for RSI?
In most cases, yes. We focus on workplace ergonomics and pacing strategies. Through Home Visits, we can even assess your workstation to make immediate adjustments that offload your muscles while you continue to work.
What is the difference between your technology and standard physio?
Standard physiotherapy often relies on manual massage and basic exercises. ALO integrates medical grade technology like Vibra3.0 and Cryoultrasound which reach deeper tissues and accelerate cellular repair much faster than manual therapy alone.
Do I need a GP referral to book an appointment?
No, you do not need a referral. You can book directly with us for an initial Human Performance Screening. If you have private medical insurance, we recommend checking your policy, as some providers may require a GP authorisation first.
