Tennis elbow, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition where the tendons on the outer side of the elbow become inflamed due to repetitive wrist and forearm movements. Despite the name, this problem does not only affect tennis players. Office workers, carpenters, housewives, plumbers, and anyone who performs repetitive gripping or wrist actions may suffer from this condition. At Asia Digital Physiotherapy Orthopedic Rehabilitation Center (ADPORC), located in Jatrabari, Dhaka, we provide advanced, non-surgical treatment options for tennis elbow, helping patients recover faster and return to daily activities without pain.
Led by Dr. Saddam Hossain, a certified physiotherapist in Jatrabari, Dhaka, we design targeted Tennis Elbow rehab programs using a combination of manual therapy, progressive strengthening, and hand-specific drills.
