Why Bodylogics

Expert Care for Golfer’s & Tennis Elbow

Despite their names, golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow affect far more than sportspeople. They are among the most common causes of elbow pain we see, often developing in people whose work or hobbies involve repeated gripping, lifting or wrist movement. Our specialist physiotherapists assess and treat both conditions across our four North London clinics.

The encouraging news is that these problems usually settle well with the right care and rarely point to anything serious. Our hands-on approach is designed to relieve your pain, restore your grip and movement, and give you the confidence to return to the activities you enjoy.

Patient Stories

Trusted by Patients Across North London

I was so pleased to find Gemma when I was looking for an acupuncturist. She is so professional and always greets you with a smile. I feel safe knowing that she is well qualified to do her job and she is able to answer my questions with confidence. I have not felt pressured into doing more sessions than needed and each time I have made an appointment I have been given time to relax and have been cared for without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend Gemma especially if it is your first time having acupuncture or if you are unsure about having a session.

Very happy with the treatment received from Rui at Bodylogics. He implemented a clear treatment plan, made me feel comfortable during appointments, and put together an exercise programme for me to follow at home. He was very approachable, offered clear advice and always answered any questions I had. Overall 10/10 service and would highly recommend!

I had gone to see Charles as I had torn a thigh muscle. He was thorough, patient and an excellent clinician. His work on my thigh, his advice and suggested exercises meant I healed quickly. Lovely bloke as well. Whole heartedly recommend Charles.

Absolutely brilliant session with Daniel. I have been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for a long time due to a spine related problem, and Daniel found the root cause of it. Absolute specialist, and very skilled with acupuncture. I would definitely recommend if you are experiencing a similar problem.

I have had a great experience with Evelyn. She has been incredibly helpful and supportive with my rotator cuff injury. She really listened to my problems and very patient with my progress as well!

I can’t recommend Ben highly enough. He treated my daughter’s back pain with exceptional care and expertise. From the very first appointment, he took the time to understand her symptoms, explain everything clearly, and make her feel comfortable. He was friendly, warm and professional and after a few sessions she felt so much better and was sent away with exercises she can do to ensure that she remains pain free
Laura Sloma 2 weeks ago
I highly recommend Rui. After developing tennis elbow, Rui carefully listened to my concerns, assessed my condition, and created a personalized recovery plan. My progress has been excellent, with a much faster recovery than I expected. I am now back playing badminton, my elbow is getting stronger every week, and the strengthening exercises Rui recommended have been very effective. Rui is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for patients. Thank you for all your help and support!

Always a fantastic experience working with Jessica at Bodylogics. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive, and her approach is always reassuring.

After a tough recovery following my knee replacement, my physio Jess, has been outstanding. Her expertise, encouragement, and personalised approach helped me stay positive and keep making progress, even when things felt challenging. She always takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and adapt my treatment to my needs. Thanks to her support, my mobility, strength, and confidence have improved significantly.

Simon Eardley 2 weeks ago
I went to Veronica yesterday evening in agony, with inflammation and tightness in my neck and trapezius muscles which had stopped me turning my neck and left me in a lot of pain. Veronica gave me her time, energy, and her quality massage skills to support the issue, relieving tension in my back, and enabling me today to wake up with reduced pain, and gave me more turning range back in my neck, getting me mobile enough to drive again. I’ve been to body logic several times over the years, and care has always been positive :) worth the spend.
Laura Heard 2 weeks ago
I have been using various physio providers for over a year with no success until I have met Ben at Bodylogics in New Barnet. After three sessions I have already made significant progress and growing in confidence day by day with the reduction in pain from my injury. Would definitely recommend Ben.

Working through my recovery from an ACL reconstruction and meniscus partial removal and repair. George Kyriacou at Bodylogics in Winchmore Hill has been great, built me a plan for my recovery and has been progressively increasing the exercises to build strength and stability, helping with a plan that allows me to do most of the exercises at home, really clear instructions and demo’s of the movements that have been tailored to my recovery needs. The knee is feeling stronger every week, thank you George!.
Lucien Fletcher 2 weeks ago
George has been great at helping me with my injuries and the improvement in the last two months has been amazing. He goes in to all the details and is really good at explaining all the exercises.

Charles Is an example of professionalism. After months of stubborn pain in the neck and shoulder I was nearly giving up on sports. I visited Charles and after 3-4 sessions I felt a significant improvement, the pains almost disappeared. He didn’t just help me to recover but to maintain a healthy and better way of exercising.
Nir Harnik 3 weeks ago
I was struggling with persistent tennis elbow that was affecting both my daily activities and sport. After an assessment, physio Rui recommended shockwave therapy. My pain has reduced significantly over the course of treatments, and I have little or no pain, anymore. I will continue my custom exercises to strengthen my tendons. I would highly recommend Bodylogics in treating tennis elbow pain.
Stella James 3 weeks ago
Monika, has helped me a lot with a very difficult back problem in the L4-L5 area, which spread to my upper legs. I was concerned that I might need back surgery, but after having intense physio and following the exercise routine, I’ve turned the corner and feel in a much better place. I’ll be resuming light Golf very soon.
Mark Bussandri 3 weeks ago
It was my first time visiting a physiotherapist after injuring my knee while running, and I had a great experience. Dan was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly explained what had happened to my knee. He also put together a recovery plan with exercises to do at home and will assess my running technique in future sessions to help prevent further injuries. I’m very happy with the care I received and would highly recommend Dan.

I recently visited Bodylogics for my back pain and had a very positive experience. My physio, Dan is highly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. He took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns and provided clear, practical guidance for both pain management and strengthening exercises. What stood out most was his hands-on approach and ability to explain things in a way that was easy to understand and apply. After every session, I am feeling more and more confident about managing my condition and making progress. Overall, I would highly recommend him and the team at Bodylogics to anyone looking for expert physiotherapy care.

I saw Eilinoir following a severe fall on my knee and her experience and expertise has made a huge improvement to my mobility. Her prediction of how long my recovery would be was spot-on. She is friendly, knowledgeable and approachable and has helpfully adapted my exercises to incorporate other problem areas. I’m so pleased to be back at reformer Pilates. Thanks Eilinoir!

I’ve been attending Bodylogics for a few years now with various sports issues and they have been fantastic. Monika is so friendly and knowledgeable and I have usually only needed a couple of sessions before recovering. I have been recommending them to friends with sports related issues and they are equally happy with the treatment.
Alison Monaghan a month ago
I can’t recommend Eilinoir @ Bodylogics Physio highly enough. From my very first appointment, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me recover. She carried out a thorough assessment, explained my injury clearly, and put together a treatment plan for me, including a home exercise plan which she adjusts as my injury improves. Her encouragement, expertise, and attention to detail has made a huge difference to my recovery & helped me get back to golf much quicker than I expected.

VIVIANE POTTER a month ago
I’ve been seeing Charles for a number of months to treat a shoulder injury, and the improvement has been great. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything clearly, and always takes the time to make sure you understand both the treatment and what you can do yourself to aid recovery. On top of that, he’s a genuinely friendly, approachable guy who makes every session a positive experience. My shoulder is now almost back to normal, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charles to anyone looking for an excellent physiotherapist.
David Jenkinson a month ago
The treatment and education I’ve received from Grace has been outstanding. She helped me understand why I was getting injured and after really being diligent with her stretching and strengthening exercises I have overcome the pain and mobility issues. She listened to my concerns and applied personalised techniques and treatments. She’s very good with communication and efficient with replies and programs. I believe she has changed my whole perspective on running warm up routines for the rest of my life.
Sherilyn Jutronich a month ago

Golfer’s & Tennis Elbow assessment at Bodylogics
The Basics

Understanding Golfer’s & Tennis Elbow

Both conditions involve the tendons that attach your forearm muscles to the bony points of the elbow. They are forms of tendinopathy, meaning the tendon becomes irritated and painful, usually through repeated or unaccustomed loading rather than a single injury. The two conditions are closely related but affect different sides of the elbow.

Tennis elbow, known clinically as lateral epicondylalgia, affects the outer side of the elbow and the muscles that straighten the wrist and fingers. Golfer’s elbow, or medial epicondylalgia, affects the inner side of the elbow and the muscles that bend the wrist and grip. It is entirely possible to develop either without ever picking up a racquet or club.

Why It Happens

Common Triggers

These conditions can appear gradually or after a change in activity. Common triggers we see include:

  • Repetitive gripping, twisting or lifting at work or home
  • A sudden increase in racquet sport, throwing or golf
  • Prolonged computer, mouse or manual tool use
  • Trades and manual work involving repeated wrist and forearm movement
  • Starting a new activity or heavier load than the arm was ready for
Spot the Difference

How to Tell Them Apart

The two conditions share the same underlying nature but tend to produce pain in different places:

  • Tennis elbow: pain on the outer elbow, often worse when gripping, lifting or straightening the wrist
  • Golfer’s elbow: pain on the inner elbow, often worse when gripping, lifting or bending the wrist
  • Both: tenderness over the affected bony point, a weaker or painful grip, and discomfort that can spread into the forearm
Signs to Watch For

When to Seek Help

Most elbow tendon pain can be managed well, but certain signs mean it is worth being assessed promptly. These include:

  • Pain that is severe, persistent or steadily worsening
  • A grip that feels notably weaker or keeps giving way
  • Numbness, tingling or pins and needles in the hand or fingers
  • Elbow pain following a significant fall or injury
  • Pain that disturbs your sleep or is not improving over time
Our Approach

How We Treat Golfer’s & Tennis Elbow

Our first step is a careful assessment to confirm which condition you have, identify the activities that are loading the tendon and screen for the rare signs that would need further attention. This allows us to reassure you where appropriate and to build a treatment plan around your specific situation.

Hands-on therapy can ease your symptoms and improve movement, while a graded, tendon-loading exercise programme is the cornerstone of lasting recovery. Because these are loading problems, the right exercises done at the right pace are what rebuild the strength and resilience of the tendon, and we guide you through every stage.

We place great importance on explanation and reassurance, because understanding why your elbow pain has developed is itself part of the treatment. By adjusting the activities and habits that contributed to the problem, we help you not only recover but also reduce the likelihood of it returning.

Your Care May Include

  • Assessment to confirm the diagnosis
  • Hands-on manual therapy
  • Graded tendon-loading programme
  • Grip & forearm strengthening
  • Activity & load-management advice
  • Onward referral where genuinely needed

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Difference Between Golfer’s Elbow and Tennis Elbow?

Both are tendon problems at the elbow, but they affect different sides. Tennis elbow causes pain on the outer elbow, while golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inner elbow. We confirm which one you have during your assessment and tailor your treatment accordingly.

Do I Have to Play Sport to Get These Conditions?

Not at all. Most people we treat develop these conditions through everyday activities such as gripping, lifting, manual work or repetitive computer use, rather than through sport. The names are historical and can be a little misleading.

Should I Rest or Stay Active?

Complete rest is rarely the answer, as it can leave the tendon weak and slow to recover. We will guide you on how to adjust your activity and load the tendon safely, which is what helps it heal and become more resilient.

Do I Need a Scan or Injection?

For most cases, neither is needed. These conditions typically respond well to a structured exercise and rehabilitation programme. We will advise you if a scan or onward referral would genuinely be helpful in your case and liaise with your GP where appropriate.

Do I Need a Referral to Be Seen?

No referral is needed to book with Bodylogics, and you can arrange an appointment directly at any of our four North London clinics. If you intend to use private health insurance, your provider may request a referral first, so it is sensible to confirm with them beforehand.

Which Bodylogics Clinic Should I Visit?

We treat golfer’s elbow and tennis elbow at all four of our North London clinics in Barnet, Whetstone, Winchmore Hill and Colindale. Let us know which is easiest to reach and we will arrange everything for you.
