Tendonitis e.g. Tennis elbow...

This condition can also affect the tendons in the shoulder, achilles and wrist.

The structure that transmits the force of the muscle contraction to the bone is called a tendon. When functioning normally, these tendons glide easily and smoothly as the muscle contracts.

Sometimes the tendons become inflamed for a variety of reasons and the action of pulling the muscle becomes irritating and movement will become painful.

After thorough examination the
physiotherapist will give a
provisional diagnosis and
determine a treatment plan
based on your individual needs.

By minimising inflammation,
using evidence based
treatments, the tendon can return to its usual state and perform its usual function.
