Sharp pain on the outside of your elbow every time you lift a cup, shake a hand or grip a racquet? Our specialist tennis elbow physiotherapists in Vashi diagnose the real problem and build a physiotherapy treatment plan that gets you back to pain-free work, sport and daily life — without unnecessary surgery.
Tennis elbow is an overuse injury of the tendons that attach your forearm muscles to the bony bump on the outside of the elbow. Despite the name, most people we see in Vashi have never picked up a racquet — the strain usually comes from repetitive gripping, typing or lifting.
The tendon develops tiny, repeated micro-tears faster than the body can repair them, leading to persistent, gnawing pain. Left untreated, a simple ache can quietly turn into weeks of weak grip and disturbed sleep.
The good news: tennis elbow responds extremely well to structured physiotherapy treatment when it's guided by someone who understands tendon healing — not just rest and painkillers.
"It'll heal on its own if I just rest it." In reality, tendons need controlled loading, not complete rest, to rebuild strength — which is exactly what a tennis elbow physiotherapist prescribes.
What our Vashi patients usually don't expect
Our physiotherapists trace each case back to its root cause — because treating the trigger is what stops the pain from returning.
