Pain over the elbow at the outer aspect is the main sign for tennis elbow. The pain may radiate toward the direction of the forearm or upper arm. Tennis elbow is seen more in non-athletes than athletes. It can occur after a single event such as repeated lifting of heavy objects or a direct trauma or grasping something in an awkward manner. Hand Therapy can help by providing assessment to help determine if you are at acute phase or the restorative phase.  Acute phase focuses on pain management with resting and facilitating tissue healing.  The restorative phase focuses on restoring flexibility, strength, and endurance.
