Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a common overuse injury involving inflammation or degeneration of the tendons on the outer side of the elbow.
Despite its name, it often affects non-athletes — especially individuals who perform repetitive gripping, lifting, or computer work. The condition results from microtears in the extensor tendons where they attach to the lateral epicondyle.

- Pain or tenderness on the outer (lateral) side of the elbow
- Pain with gripping, lifting, or twisting motions (e.g. opening a jar)
- Weak grip strength
- Stiffness or aching after activity
- Discomfort that may radiate down the forearm

At Unify Rehab & Performance, we perform a comprehensive upper limb and movement assessment to identify the root cause — whether it’s local tendon overload or a biomechanical issue higher up the chain (shoulder or wrist).

Our integrated care includes:

- Manual therapy to restore elbow and wrist mobility.
- Soft tissue therapy to reduce tension in forearm muscles and tendons.
- Acupuncture to promote tissue healing and relieve pain.
- Progressive rehabilitation focusing on eccentric loading, grip strength, and upper-limb coordination.
- Education on workspace ergonomics, movement mechanics, and load management.

Our strength-based rehab helps resolve the pain while building durability for long-term prevention.
