Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow Treatment in Mississauga

Physiotherapy for elbow pain affecting gripping, lifting, work, or sport. At Dynamic Physiotherapy in Mississauga, treatment starts with an

assessment and a plan tailored to your needs.

Understanding Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) affects the tendons on the outside of the elbow. Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) affects the tendons on the inside. Both can cause elbow pain during gripping, lifting, or repetitive hand and wrist movements.


You do not have to play tennis or golf to develop these conditions. Repeated demands from work, household tasks, weight training, or sport can contribute to tendon irritation and reduced tolerance for activity.



At Dynamic Physiotherapy in Mississauga, your assessment considers your symptoms, strength, movement, and daily activities. Your physiotherapist can then recommend a treatment and exercise plan tailored to your needs and goals.
