At Osteopathic Consultancy, we provide expert Osteopathic treatment for elbow pain in Frimley, Camberley and Farnborough.
Elbow pain can affect your ability to lift, grip, and carry out everyday tasks. Whether your symptoms have developed suddenly or built up over time, our focus is on identifying the cause and treating it effectively.
Lifting objects
Gripping or holding items
Using tools or a computer
Sports or exercise
The elbow is part of the upper limb and plays an important role in positioning the hand.
It allows you to bend and straighten the arm so that the hand can function effectively.
Because of this, elbow problems are often experienced further down the arm.
You may notice pain in the forearm, weakness when gripping, or discomfort during everyday tasks.
Many patients initially feel they have a forearm or wrist problem, when in fact the elbow is the source.
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis)
Tendinopathy (long-term tendon irritation)
Muscle strain or overload
Joint restriction
Repetitive strain from work or sport
Overuse from gripping, lifting, or manual tasks
Nerve irritation (such as ulnar nerve irritation)
Poor upper limb mechanics (shoulder, wrist, or neck contribution)
Previous injuries that have not fully resolved
Elbow pain is often linked to how the arm is used during daily activities.
Repetitive movements and overuse can place strain on the tissues around the elbow.
Avoid overloading the arm repeatedly
Modify activities where possible
Keep the arm moving within comfortable limits
Gradually return to normal use
Many elbow problems are linked to poor ergonomics and how the body is positioned during daily activities.
This is particularly relevant for desk work, computer use, and repetitive tasks.
Small issues such as:
Keyboard and mouse positioned too far away
Poor wrist positioning when typing
Lack of forearm or elbow support
Repetitive gripping or tool use
Working off to one side rather than directly in front
can place repeated strain on the elbow and forearm muscles over time. If your forearms are unsupported, the muscles around the elbow are working constantly to stabilise the arm—similar to holding a light weight for long periods without rest. Over time, this can lead to overload, tension, and pain.
Making simple changes to your setup and taking regular breaks can make a significant difference in reducing strain and preventing symptoms. For more detailed guidance, see our Ergonomic Desk Setup Guide.

Previous injuries and contributing factors
In many cases, the tissues around the elbow become overloaded and tight.
Hands-on Osteopathic treatment can help by reducing muscle tension and improving how the joint moves.
This can often lead to improved comfort and function, particularly when combined with targeted exercises and advice.

Tennis elbow is a common condition involving pain on the outside of the elbow, often caused by overuse of the forearm muscles.
Golfer’s elbow causes pain on the inside of the elbow and is also linked to repeated strain on the forearm muscles.
This depends on the cause, but many patients begin to notice improvement early in treatment with a tailored approach.
If you are struggling with elbow pain, the sooner it is assessed, the sooner you can start improving.Book your appointment today and take the first step towards getting back to your best and enjoying life again.
