Tennis Elbow Treatment
Tennis elbow causing pain and weakness in your arm? PHYZFIT in Bexley North and Marrickville provides targeted treatment to get you back to full strength.
What is Tennis Elbow Treatment?
Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylalgia, causes pain and tenderness on the outer side of the elbow. Most people with tennis elbow have never played tennis. At PHYZFIT we see this in tradespeople, office workers, gym goers and parents and we know exactly how to fix it.

Common Causes

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a cortisone injection?
Cortisone injections can provide short term pain relief but evidence shows poor long term outcomes compared to physiotherapy. We recommend a physiotherapy first approach.
How long does tennis elbow take to heal?
With the right treatment most people see significant improvement within 6 to 8 weeks. Chronic cases may take longer but respond well to a structured program.
Can I still use my arm during treatment?
Yes. Complete rest is not recommended. We will advise you on what activities to modify and how to continue using your arm safely.
Is shockwave available at PHYZFIT?
