Golfer’s elbow isn’t just a problem for golfers. Repetitive gripping, lifting, wrist flexion and forearm rotation can overload the tendons that attach to the inside of the elbow.

In Part 2 of our elbow pain series, we cover:

What golfer’s elbow is Where the pain is normally felt Common causes and symptoms How it differs from tennis elbow Other conditions that may cause elbow pain Who is most at risk Exercises that may support recovery When it is time to seek professional help

Recovery is not simply about resting the elbow. The underlying workload, movement patterns and strength of the wrist, forearm, shoulder and upper back may all need to be assessed.

If your symptoms have lasted more than a few weeks, are affecting everyday activities or are not improving with self-care, contact TherapyFit for a professional consultation, assessment, treatment and tailored rehabilitation plan.

Booking details are available in our bio. A ladies-only clinic is also available.

🎾 ELBOW PAIN: PART 1 – WHAT IS TENNIS ELBOW?

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is one of the most common causes of elbow pain that we see in clinic. Despite the name, you don’t have to play tennis to develop it!

Tennis elbow occurs when the tendons on the outside of the elbow become overloaded through repetitive gripping, lifting, twisting, typing, manual work, gym training, DIY tasks, or sporting activities. Over time, this can lead to pain, reduced grip strength, and difficulty carrying out everyday tasks.

🔎 Common symptoms include: ✅ Pain on the outside of the elbow ✅ Pain when gripping, lifting or twisting objects ✅ Weakness in the hand or forearm ✅ Discomfort that may travel down the forearm ✅ Difficulty with daily activities such as opening jars or carrying shopping bags

The good news? With the right assessment, treatment and rehabilitation programme, most cases can be managed effectively and symptoms can improve significantly.

👉 If you’re experiencing elbow pain, or your symptoms aren’t improving, don’t ignore it. Book an appointment with our clinical massage therapists for a thorough consultation, treatment and personalised rehabilitation programme.

💧 MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE 💧

Do you often experience swollen feet, heavy legs, fluid retention or simply feel sluggish, especially during hot weather?

Your lymphatic system plays a vital role in removing waste products, maintaining fluid balance and supporting your immune system. When lymph flow becomes sluggish, fluid can build up, leaving you feeling uncomfortable, swollen and fatigued.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialised treatment designed to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid throughout the body.

✅ May help reduce fluid retention
✅ Can support recovery after surgery
✅ May assist following cancer treatment (where appropriate)
✅ Supports healthy circulation and lymph flow
✅ Can help reduce feelings of heaviness and swelling
✅ Promotes relaxation and overall wellbeing

With the recent heatwave, many people are noticing increased swelling in their hands, feet and ankles. MLD may help support your body’s natural fluid movement and leave you feeling lighter and more comfortable.

At TherapyFit, we provide professional assessment and treatment tailored to your individual needs.

🚨 SCIATICA SERIES – PART 2 OF 2 🚨
Do You Suffer From Sciatica?
Last week we looked at one of the most common causes of sciatic symptoms that we see in clinic – Bulging / Pr*****ed Discs.
This week we’re exploring another common cause of sciatica symptoms that we regularly see at TherapyFit:
🔴 Piriformis Syndrome
Many people automatically assume that sciatica must be coming from their lower back, but that’s not always the case.
👉 Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis.
The piriformis is a small muscle located deep within the buttock. Its job is to help stabilise and rotate the hip. The sciatic nerve runs underneath this muscle (and in some people, through it).
When the piriformis becomes tight, irritated or inflamed, it can place pressure on the sciatic nerve and produce symptoms very similar to those experienced with a disc problem.
Common symptoms include:
✅ Pain deep in the buttock ✅ Pain travelling down the back of the leg ✅ Tingling or pins and needles ✅ Numbness in the leg or foot ✅ Pain when sitting for long periods ✅ Discomfort when walking uphill or climbing stairs ✅ Tenderness within the buttock region
One of the biggest challenges with sciatica is that symptoms from Piriformis Syndrome can often mimic those caused by a Bulging or Pr*****ed Disc, which is why a professional assessment is so important.
In this post we explain:
📌 What Piriformis Syndrome is 📌 How it affects the sciatic nerve 📌 Common symptoms 📌 How it differs from disc-related sciatica 📌 Who is most at risk 📌 Typical recovery timeframes 📌 Exercises that may help recovery
The key to successful treatment is identifying the true cause of your symptoms rather than simply treating the pain.
If you’ve missed Part 1, head back to our previous post where we discuss Bulging / Pr*****ed Discs and Sciatica.

🚨 SCIATICA SERIES – PART 1 OF 2 🚨

Do You Suffer From Sciatica?

Sciatica is one of the most common symptoms we see in clinic, but here’s something many people don’t realise:

👉 Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis.

In this first part of our Sciatica Series, we’re exploring one of the most common causes of sciatic symptoms that we see at TherapyFit:

🔴 Bulging / Pr*****ed Discs

Between each vertebra in your spine sits a disc that acts as a cushion and shock absorber. When a disc begins to bulge or prolapse, it can place pressure on nearby nerves. If that pressure affects the sciatic nerve, it can lead to symptoms such as:

✅ Pain travelling from the lower back into the buttock and leg ✅ Tingling or pins and needles ✅ Numbness in the leg or foot ✅ Weakness in the leg ✅ Difficulty sitting, walking or bending

The good news? Not every disc bulge requires surgery, and many people make excellent progress with the right assessment, treatment and rehabilitation programme.

In this post we explain:

📌 What a bulging/prolapsed disc is 📌 Common symptoms 📌 Who is most at risk 📌 Typical recovery timeframes 📌 Exercises that may help recovery

Understanding the cause of your symptoms is the first step towards getting back to doing the things you enjoy.

📞 If you’re suffering from sciatica symptoms, book an appointment with our Clinical Massage Therapists at TherapyFit for a professional assessment, treatment and personalised rehabilitation programme.

👀 Tune in next week for Part 2 of our Sciatica Series, where we’ll look at another common cause of sciatic symptoms that we regularly see in clinic.

❄️ FROZEN SHOULDER – MORE THAN JUST SHOULDER PAIN ❄️

Frozen shoulder (also known as Adhesive Capsulitis) is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and a progressive loss of shoulder movement. It can make everyday tasks such as dressing, driving, reaching overhead, and even sleeping extremely difficult.

🔹 What are the stages?

1️⃣ FREEZING STAGE Pain gradually increases and shoulder movement becomes more restricted. ⏱️ Typically lasts 6 weeks – 9 months.

2️⃣ FROZEN STAGE Pain may begin to settle, but stiffness remains significant and movement is limited. ⏱️ Typically lasts 4 – 12 months.

3️⃣ THAWING STAGE Movement slowly begins to return and shoulder function improves. ⏱️ Typically lasts 6 – 24 months.

🔹 How do you know if you have a frozen shoulder?

Common symptoms include: ✅ Persistent shoulder pain ✅ Progressive loss of movement ✅ Difficulty reaching overhead ✅ Pain when dressing or fastening clothing ✅ Night pain that disturbs sleep ✅ Stiffness that gradually worsens over time

🔹 Can frozen shoulder be reversed?

The good news is yes. Most frozen shoulders improve over time, but recovery can take anywhere from 1–3 years. Early assessment, appropriate treatment, pain management, and targeted rehabilitation can help improve function and potentially reduce the impact of symptoms during recovery.

🚨 If you are experiencing symptoms of frozen shoulder, don’t just wait and hope it goes away.

At TherapyFit, our Level 5 Advanced Sports Massage Therapists can provide a professional assessment, hands-on treatment, and a personalised rehabilitation plan to help you regain movement and reduce pain.

🚨 LOWER CROSSED SYNDROME 🚨

Do you suffer with persistent lower back tightness, aching hips, poor posture, or feel stiff after sitting for long periods?

You may be experiencing Lower Crossed Syndrome (LCS) — a common postural imbalance where certain muscles become tight and overactive while others become weak and underactive.

In this post, we break down: ✅ What Lower Crossed Syndrome is ✅ Why it’s often referred to as a “Sway Back” posture ✅ Which muscles are affected ✅ Who is most at risk ✅ Simple exercises that can help restore balance and reduce discomfort

The reality is that many people spend hours sitting at desks, driving, or looking down at screens without realising the impact it has on their posture, movement, and overall wellbeing.

The good news? With the right exercises, movement habits, and hands-on treatment, these imbalances can often be improved.

Have you ever had a sports massage without a posture assessment? 🤔

One of the most common things we see in clinic is clients who have had multiple sports massages over the years, yet nobody has ever assessed their posture.

While massage can be fantastic for relieving tightness, tension and discomfort, it often only addresses the symptoms. If the underlying cause isn’t identified, those same aches and pains can keep returning.

A posture thorough consultation and posture assessment allows us to look at how your body is aligned, how you move, and where compensations may be occurring. Poor posture can place unnecessary stress on muscles, joints and connective tissues, leading to recurring pain, reduced performance and an increased risk of injury.

By carrying out a thorough posture assessment, we can:
✅ Identify the root cause of your symptoms
✅ Spot muscular imbalances and compensations
✅ Create a more targeted treatment plan
✅ Improve movement efficiency and performance
✅ Help prevent future injuries
✅ Achieve longer-lasting results

At TherapyFit, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, we believe treatment should be about more than just easing symptoms. Understanding why the problem exists is often the key to lasting improvement.
