This is one of the most common elbow complaints we encounter, and it's usually linked to dips performed too deep or with excessive load through the joint capsule.
If you're experiencing pain during dips, here's what we recommend:

Elevate the surface and bend your knees. This gives you better control over your range of motion and reduces strain on the elbow.
Or switch to a tricep kickback with a dumbbell, keeping your elbow tucked close to your side. You'll still target the triceps effectively, but without the joint stress.
Smart training isn't about pushing through pain. It's about working with your body to build strength sustainably.

💪 If your elbow pain persists or keeps returning, don't ignore it. Book an online assessment so we can identify the root cause and create a plan that actually works.

Studies show tennis elbow isn't just overuse—it's compensation. Patients consistently present with scapular dyskinesis and shoulder weakness (Lucado et al., 2012).

Stop treating the elbow in isolation. The problem started upstream

Forearm pain that won't settle isn't always tennis elbow.

Radial Tunnel Syndrome is rare, often missed, and usually responds best to the right rehab plan.
Surgery can help in some cases, but recovery isn't instant — progress takes months, not weeks.

The key? An accurate assessment and a plan you can follow anywhere.

That nagging elbow pain? It's trying to tell you something.
Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow sound like athlete problems — but here's the truth: you don't need to swing a racket or club to get them.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

Pain on the outside of your elbow. Triggered by gripping, lifting, typing, or anything that overworks your wrist extensors.
Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Pain on the inside of your elbow. Usually from repetitive twisting, flexing, or heavy lifting that strains your wrist flexors.
Different tendons. Different sides. Same frustrating cycle if left untreated.
And no — rest alone won't fix it. These are tendon overuse injuries that need the right loading strategy, not just time off.
The fix?

Early intervention. Smart rehab. Gradual strengthening. That's how you break the pain cycle and actually get back to what you love doing.
Ignoring it only makes it stick around longer.
Elbow pain that won't quit? Let's assess it properly — before it becomes your new normal.

Got tennis elbow? Ice can be a really helpful way to calm pain and soreness, especially after activity. It works by reducing pain sensitivity and settling irritated tissues.

Used alongside the right loading and rehab, ice can make symptoms easier to manage and help you stay consistent with recovery (Manias et al., Br J Sports Med, 2006).

Did you know your elbow doesn't work alone? How your shoulder stabilizes, your wrist controls force, and your grip works all affects the stress on it. People with tennis elbow often have weaknesses not just in the wrist, but also in the forearm and shoulder, making the elbow more prone to injury (Malliaras et al., 2021).

Strengthening the whole arm, not just the elbow, can help prevent pain and improve performance

Heat is one of the most commonly used pain relief tools — but is it actually backed by science? 🤔

Here's the short answer 👇
Heat can be a simple, affordable and effective way to ease muscle soreness, improve comfort and help your body relax. When you feel more at ease, pain levels often come down too.

But heat isn't for everything.
🚫 New or fresh injuries
🚫 Damaged or inflamed tissues

Using heat at the wrong time can do more harm than good.

If you want to understand when heat helps, when it doesn't, and what to use instead, we've broken it down in full on our website.

Here's what we've noticed: when you remove the commute, the waiting rooms, and the rigid appointment times, something shifts.

Traditional physio often focuses on hands-on treatments. You lie on a table, someone does something to you, and you leave. But here's the thing: research shows that what really creates lasting change is understanding your injury, having a tailored exercise programme, and actually doing it consistently.

That's where online physio shines. We focus on expert assessment, giving you the knowledge to understand what's happening in your body, and building a rehab plan you can actually stick to. No dependency on passive treatment. Just you, empowered with the right tools and guidance.

Then add the convenience factor. No waiting lists. No travel time. Sessions that fit around your life, not the other way round. And suddenly, you're not skipping appointments or putting off your exercises because life got busy.
That consistency? That's what gets results.
