What is Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)![]()
![]()
Tennis elbow is an overload or overuse condition in which the muscles of the forearm are affected – in particular the muscles that extend the wrist – the ‘backhand’ muscles.![]()
Although the condition is termed ‘tennis elbow’ since it is common in tennis players, only a small proportion of patients actually get the condition from playing tennis.![]()
These muscles attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Hence the other term for it is lateral epicondylitis – since the ‘common extensor attachment’ is involved due to the repetitive strain.![]()
![]()
The pain may develop gradually or occasionally it may be sudden.![]()

Anterior knee pain is pain which occurs in the front of the knee around the knee cap. The ‘patella’ is the medical name for kneecap, and the ‘femur’ is the medical name for thighbone. This is why it is sometimes called ‘Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome’![]()
![]()
Normally the kneecap slides smoothly along a groove in the thigh bone. In some cases, the knee cap rubs against the side of the groove causing irritation and pain. This can be caused by imbalances in the muscles around the knee. Some muscles that support the knee joint may be weak, while other muscles are tight and inflexible.![]()
![]()
A physiotherapist can prescribe exercises to correct the imbalance in the muscles, advise about suitable activities and guide you to gradual return to full activity. ![]()
