Osteopathy for Elbow Pain
Book Osteopathy in Cannon Hill
Elbow pain can interfere with work, sport, and daily tasks like gripping, lifting, or typing. Conditions like tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) cause pain on the outer or inner elbow, often linked to overuse, repetitive movements, or muscle imbalance. Glenn Strutt provides targeted Osteopathy sessions to reduce strain, improve function, and restore comfortable movement.
Appointments are available at Brisbane Livewell Clinic (Cannon Hill).
FAQs
How an Osteopath Supports Elbow Pain
Glenn assesses the elbow in the context of the whole arm, shoulder, and upper back to identify mechanical contributors to pain. He examines:
Tendon and muscle tension in the forearm
Wrist, elbow, and shoulder joint mechanics
Posture and movement patterns that may overload the elbow
His hands-on care is tailored to your symptoms and activity demands, helping to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and improve functional strength. Each session includes a Wellness Plan with practical exercises and activity guidance.
Common Causes of Elbow Pain
Patients often book for:
Pain on the outside of the elbow (tennis elbow)
Pain on the inside of the elbow (golfer’s elbow)
Weak grip or difficulty lifting objects
Pain during repetitive tasks like typing, racket sports, or weightlifting
Ongoing discomfort after overuse or injury
Glenn works with people of all ages, from recreational athletes to office workers.

Is Osteopathy Right For Elbow Pain
Osteopathy may be suitable if you want to:
Reduce pain from repetitive strain or tendon irritation
Improve elbow and forearm function
Restore grip strength and daily activity comfort
Receive practical guidance for prevention and recovery
Elbow pain often comes from repetitive strain or muscle imbalance, not just the joint itself. I work to reduce tension in the forearm, improve movement patterns, and support patients in returning to work or sport without pain.
