Online Physiotherapy for Elbow Pain
Guided assessment and rehabilitation for elbow or forearm symptoms affecting gripping, lifting, work and hobbies.
* No payment required for the first consultation.
Elbow discomfort can make lifting a bag, using tools or working at a computer difficult. FitMe Physio offers online assessment and exercise guidance adapted to your symptoms and activity demands. Some injuries or nerve-related symptoms need a hands-on examination or medical assessment first.
What does an online elbow assessment cover?
Your consultation explores elbow, forearm and gripping symptoms alongside work, hobbies and any injury.
Identify difficult tasks
Discuss lifting, gripping, typing or racket sports and when symptoms started.
Review movement
Your physiotherapist observes suitable arm and wrist movements and reviews any existing diagnosis or reports.
Discuss treatment options
Agree functional goals and whether exercise guidance or a hands-on examination is appropriate.
How can elbow rehabilitation help daily activities?
The plan considers the demands on your arm and your response to activity. Exercises are progressed individually rather than using one routine for every tendon problem.
- Advice on adapting repetitive gripping or lifting tasks.
- Suitable movement and strengthening work for the forearm and wrist.
- Reviews of exercise technique and your ability to manage work or hobbies.
Which elbow symptoms need medical assessment?
Ongoing overuse symptoms may suit online guidance after assessment. Severe pain with restricted movement, a snapping injury or changed arm shape, numbness, or swelling with fever needs urgent in-person care. Sudden arm pain with chest pressure or tightness requires emergency help.
Prepare for an elbow video consultation
Set up your camera so your elbow, wrist and hand can be seen without holding the device in the painful arm.
- List the tasks that provoke symptoms and any recent changes in workload.
- Keep existing medical reports available.
- Have your usual work tools or sports equipment nearby to describe how you use them.

Questions about elbow and tendon rehabilitation
Do I need to play tennis to have tennis elbow?
No. Repeated gripping and wrist or forearm movements at work or during other activities can also be associated with tennis elbow symptoms.
Should I stop all arm activity?
Discuss which tasks aggravate symptoms. Your physiotherapist can help adapt activity and select appropriate exercises rather than applying the same rest advice to every problem.
Are tennis elbow and golfer's elbow treated identically?
They can affect different areas and tasks. Assessment helps guide exercise selection and activity advice for your particular symptoms.
Does an online session include massage?
Video sessions focus on assessment, education and guided exercises. Hands-on treatment needs an in-person appointment when appropriate.
