Got pain on the outside of your elbow? It could be Tennis Elbow, and you don't need to play tennis to get it. 🎾

Tennis Elbow is a common condition that affects office workers, tradespeople and anyone who performs repetitive gripping or wrist movements on a regular basis.

It's notoriously difficult to treat and can linger for a long time if not managed correctly. Many people push through the discomfort without realising that the right approach early on can make a significant difference to recovery time.

The good news is that with patience and a targeted exercise program, most people are able to get on top of it and return to their normal activities without pain.

At West Lakes Physio, we can assess what's driving your elbow pain and put together a plan to help you recover properly and prevent it from coming back.

Feeling stiff or less flexible than usual? It might be more than just tightness. 🤔

Ongoing stiffness and reduced flexibility can sometimes be early warning signs that your body is under extra strain or at greater risk of injury.

When muscles, joints or movement patterns are not coping well with the demands placed on them, the risk of injury increases over time if left unaddressed.

At West Lakes Physio, we look at the bigger picture to help identify what may be contributing to your stiffness and create a plan to help you move better, reduce injury risk and stay active long term.

Addressing these issues early can make a real difference to how your body holds up.

Are your running shoes doing more harm than good? 👟

Unsupportive or poorly fitting footwear is one of the most common, and most preventable, contributors to running injuries.

Wearing the wrong shoes for your foot type or running style can place extra stress on your feet, ankles, knees and hips over time. This can lead to a range of issues including shin splints, knee pain, plantar fasciitis and stress injuries that sideline you from training.

At West Lakes Physio, we can help assess your movement, identify any contributing factors to your pain or injury, and guide you in the right direction — including whether your footwear could be part of the problem.

Don't let the wrong shoes hold you back from running your best.
