Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow got it’s name from injuries playing a backhand shot. It causes pain on the outside of your elbow and into your forearm, making everyday gripping activities difficult and uncomfortable.

What Causes It?
Tennis elbow typically develops from:
- Repetitive computer work or typing
- Manual tasks like painting or hammering
- Prolonged gripping activities
- Racquet sports
