The elbow can experience a number of overuse injuries, such as tennis elbow (extensor tendonopathy) and golfer’s elbow (flexor tendonopathy). Padel players are also susceptible to both of these presentations! Despite their names, these injuries are not only experienced by sports people, and can be often associated with repetitive movement and overuse. Dysfunction of the neck, upper back and shoulders can contribute to elbow pain, which is where a thorough assessment to address any dysfunction allows the development of an active treatment plan.
