Causes, resources and physiotherapy exercises
Elbow pain is a common problem that can affect both sedentary and physically active individuals. Symptoms may develop during daily activities, work tasks or sports participation and, in some cases, can make simple movements such as gripping objects or lifting weights difficult.
When elbow pain develops, it is common to experience difficulties with:
- Gripping objects firmly.
- Lifting bags or weights.
- Turning a key or opening a door.
- Using hand tools.
- Working on a computer for extended periods.
- Playing racket sports or performing repetitive activities.
However, not all elbow pain has the same cause. Different structures such as tendons, muscles, joints or nerves may be involved in the development of symptoms.
For this reason, generic or random exercises do not always provide good results.
In physiotherapy, understanding the possible cause of the problem first allows for a more appropriate selection of exercises and a more specific recovery strategy.

Our philosophy is simple: understand the problem before trying to solve it.
For this reason, we have developed a Complete Elbow Assessment that can help you better understand your symptoms and choose the most appropriate protocol for your situation.
Complete Elbow Assessment
If you are experiencing elbow pain but are not sure what may be causing it, we recommend starting with our Complete Elbow Assessment.
Through simple questions, guided photographs and videos, you will be able to analyze different aspects of the elbow joint and better understand the possible origin of your symptoms.
The goal is not simply to perform exercises, but to help you choose the most appropriate protocol for your specific situation.
📖 Don’t worry if this PDF contains several pages
Everyone experiences pain differently, which is why this programme includes several rehabilitation protocols.
After completing the guided self-assessment, you’ll be able to identify the section that best matches your symptoms and go directly to the exercises and recommendations designed for your specific situation.
This way, you can focus only on the information that is most relevant to you, without having to read the entire document.
Free Specific Protocols
If you already have a fairly good idea of what may be causing your pain, or if you have already received a diagnosis, you can also access our free specific protocols.
On the corresponding page, you will find additional information, 5 simple screening questions to help you determine whether you identify with that condition, and a free physiotherapy exercise protocol.
We currently offer the following free specific protocols:
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
Do you experience pain on the outside of the elbow, especially when gripping objects, lifting weights or extending the wrist?
Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
Do you experience pain on the inside of the elbow, especially when gripping objects, flexing the wrist or performing repetitive movements?
