Treating Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow with Manual Therapy & Dry Needling at The Body Remedy

If you're dealing with nagging elbow pain that just won’t go away, you’re not alone. At The Body Remedy, we regularly help patients overcome two of the most common elbow conditions—tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow—using targeted manual therapy and dry needling techniques that address the root cause of pain.

What Is Tennis Elbow? What Is Golfer’s Elbow?

Despite their sporty names, you don’t have to play tennis or golf to suffer from these conditions.

• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) causes pain on the outside of the elbow. It’s often the result of overusing the muscles that extend your wrist and fingers—activities like typing, gripping tools, or lifting.

• Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) affects the inside of the elbow and is caused by overuse of the forearm flexor muscles, which help you grip and bend your wrist.

Both conditions are forms of tendinopathy—microtears and inflammation in the tendons that cause pain, weakness, and stiffness with movement.

Manual Therapy for Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow

At The Body Remedy, we use hands-on manual therapy to improve blood flow, reduce tension, and restore proper function in the elbow and surrounding tissues.

Effective Techniques We Use:

✅ Myofascial Release & Soft Tissue Work

We target tight, overworked muscles in the forearm that pull on the tendons and contribute to pain.

✅ Joint Mobilization

Stiff or restricted joints in the wrist, elbow, or shoulder can lead to compensation patterns. Mobilizing these joints improves overall movement mechanics.

✅ Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

We use specialized tools to break down adhesions and stimulate healing in chronically irritated tissue.

Dry Needling for Elbow Pain Relief

Dry needling is one of the most effective tools we use for elbow tendinopathies. It involves inserting thin, sterile needles into trigger points or dysfunctional tissue to release muscle tension and promote healing.

Benefits of Dry Needling for Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow:

• Reduces muscle tightness and spasms

• Stimulates healing in the tendon and surrounding tissue

• Decreases inflammation

• Speeds up recovery and pain relief

When combined with manual therapy, dry needling often results in faster, longer-lasting relief.
