Not tennis elbow? You leave with written findings and where to go next.
What our clients say.
Google reviews from our clinics in Kings Cross and Hampstead.
“After struggling with Achilles tendon pain that had prevented me from running properly for some time. The rehabilitation was structured around gradually increasing my capacity rather than rushing the process. I was given clear guidance on loading, recovery and exercise progression, which made the whole process much easier to understand. Excellent clinical approach and very professional throughout, single handedly by one practitioner only. Highly recommend this clinic for anyone in Hampstead”

“Absolutely excellent therapist. I arrived with horribly tight and tense shoulders and neck and after a thorough consultation I got a thoughtful and bespoke treatment addressing the issues I raised and more I didn’t know were there. Alexander was very professional and polite and clearly knows what he is doing. I will be back!”

“I injured my ankle playing sport a few months ago and was still having stability and flexibility issues. Alexander did a very thorough assessment, getting to the root of the problem and building plan for going forwards - highly recommend!”

Why a strap, rest and an injection have not fixed it.
Tennis elbow is a tendon problem. The tendon that holds the wrist steady when you grip is asked to carry more than it is ready for, through hours at a keyboard, a new racket sport, DIY or a heavy week of lifting. A strap and rest ease it, then it returns when you grip again. An injection can calm it for a while, but it does not make the tendon stronger. What changes it is the right load, built up over time, with someone checking it is working. That is what the programme is for.
The Achilles Method: one practitioner, three phases.
1
Assessment
We confirm it is tennis elbow, and check the neck and shoulder for anything adding to it.
2
Tension Release
Hands-on treatment to settle the forearm, the upper arm and the tissue around the elbow.
3
Strength Rebuild
A loading plan written for you, so the tendon can take your grip, your work and your sport again.
Your plan is explained in the room and given to you in writing.
Prices: two ways to start.

Questions before you book.
About the programme
Can I book the whole programme now?+
Yes. Book it online and your first session is The Cornerstone. If the assessment shows the programme is not right for you, we refund everything except the assessment. You can also cancel within 14 days of booking and pay only for the sessions you have used. Prefer to meet first? Book The Cornerstone on its own, and if you go ahead the £120 comes off the programme.
Do I have to stop playing or training?+
Usually not entirely. Resting completely weakens the tendon further. We agree what your elbow can handle at your assessment and adjust your sport, lifting and grip work around it.
How long does it take?+
The programme usually runs over eight to ten weeks. Tendons adapt slowly, and your assessment sets the length for your elbow. You leave with the plan to carry on.
What if it is not working?+
If it is not moving, the plan changes, or we refer you on.
Is Alexander a physiotherapist?+
No. Alexander is an ISRM Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist, not a registered physiotherapist. Physiotherapy on this site describes a type of service, not a registration. If your case needs a registered clinician or a doctor, we tell you and refer you.
Can I claim on health insurance?+
We do not work with private medical insurers. We provide a full receipt and a paid invoice for every session, so if your policy or health cash plan reimburses treatment, you can claim it back yourself.
About tennis elbow
What is tennis elbow?+
Doctors call it lateral epicondylitis, or lateral elbow tendinopathy. It is pain where the tendons that lift the wrist attach to the bony point on the outside of the elbow. Cases that have lasted a while are mostly about the tendon and how much load it can take, not inflammation, which is why loading, not rest, is what changes it.
I do not play tennis. Can I still have it?+
Yes. Most people with tennis elbow do not play tennis. It is common in desk workers, people who do manual or DIY work, climbers and people who lift.
Does a brace or strap help?+
A strap just below the elbow can ease pain during activity, and it is fine to use one for now. It does not make the tendon stronger. Building strength does, and that is what the programme is for.
What about steroid injections?+
They can ease pain in the short term, but research shows the pain often returns, and in some studies people did worse in the long run than with loading. If your case would benefit from another option, we will say so and refer you.
Do I need a scan first?+
Usually not. Tennis elbow is normally confirmed by assessment. Imaging helps after a fall, when the diagnosis is unclear, or when progress stalls, and we will tell you if yours is one of those.
Who gets it?+
It is most common between 35 and 55, in desk workers, tradespeople, climbers, lifters and racket players. We see it at both clinics, in Kings Cross and in Hampstead, and the assessment and the programme are the same at each.
When does elbow pain need a doctor?+
Go to A&E or urgent care if you fell onto the arm, felt a pop with sudden weakness, the elbow looks out of shape, or you cannot bend or straighten it.
See your GP first if the elbow is hot, red and swollen, if you feel unwell or feverish, if you have numbness or tingling in the hand or fingers, or if the pain is constant and worse at night. We screen for all of these at your assessment and refer you on if your case needs it.
