Ive had a great experience here with the health program and working with the NP. They went through a transition phase and handled it so well and make sure I was taken care of through the whole thing. They have been quick to respond and get me appointments. 100% recommend.

Dr. Christine Rad assessed me then put me on a stretching and exercise routine that had me back on my feet in no time.
I was very impressed with her knowledge of the anatomy. But the handiest thing had to be the app, which demonstrates each exercise using a video.

Lateral epicondylitis — more commonly known as tennis elbow — develops when the tendons anchoring the forearm extensor muscles to the outer elbow are repeatedly overloaded. That cumulative stress causes irritation, pain, and reduced function that can follow you through every part of your day, from pouring your morning coffee to finishing a work project or stepping onto the court.
Tennis elbow treatment in Ottawa, Ontario, addresses more than the pain at the outer elbow. Effective care looks at how your elbow, wrist, and shoulder work together, and at the specific physical demands of your job, sport, and home life. At Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehab, each appointment is one-on-one, giving your clinician the time to understand your situation and build a recovery plan that fits it.
Symptoms often begin as a dull ache or burning sensation on the outer side of the elbow that gradually intensifies with use. Many people find that gripping, rotating, or lifting — even with a surprisingly light object — brings the pain on quickly.
Watch for these common indicators:
Pain or burning on the bony prominence on the outside of the elbow
Discomfort when gripping everyday objects, from a coffee mug to a steering wheel
Aggravation during repetitive wrist and hand movements such as typing or using a mouse
Tenderness when pressing on the outer elbow area
Morning stiffness or pain that returns after periods of rest
Noticeable weakness in the hand or forearm during routine tasks
Tennis elbow typically develops when the forearm extensor tendons — particularly where they attach at the lateral epicondyle — are subjected to more load than they can comfortably manage over time. This can happen gradually through sustained repetitive effort or more suddenly following a change in activity level or technique.
Common contributing factors include:
In Ottawa, our clinicians regularly work with office professionals, tradespeople, active adults, and athletes at all levels who have developed tennis elbow from the demands of their daily lives. Managing both the symptoms and the underlying loading pattern is essential for durable improvement.
Treatment at Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehab combines active rehabilitation with targeted hands-on care. Every plan is individualized to your presentation, but commonly involves a combination of the following approaches:

Every appointment at Ottawa Health: Performance and Rehab is one-on-one with your clinician. Follow-up visits typically run 30–45 minutes and include time for you to ask questions, understand your program, and receive any hands-on treatment that is appropriate for that stage of recovery.
Review how your elbow has responded since the last visit
Progress or modify your exercise program based on your current tolerance and goals
Apply manual therapy or other appropriate treatment modalities
Refine your work, sport, or home activity strategies as your capacity improves
Structured rehabilitation helps many patients notice meaningful changes in their pain and function within the first several weeks of consistent treatment. While individual timelines vary, the overall goal is to help you comfortably re-engage with the tasks and activities that matter most to you.
Potential outcomes from a tailored treatment plan include:
Your clinician will speak openly about realistic timelines based on your specific situation and will adjust your plan regularly to match your progress.
You do not need to be an avid tennis player — or a player at all — to develop lateral epicondylitis. Tennis elbow treatment in Ottawa, Ontario, is appropriate for anyone experiencing outer elbow pain that is limiting their grip, their work capacity, or their activity level.
Young and recreational athletes (15–30) involved in racquet sports, climbing, or paddling who have developed overuse pain
Working professionals (30–65) spending long hours at a keyboard or performing repetitive manual tasks
Tradespeople and manual workers such as carpenters, electricians, mechanics, and plumbers
Active adults and retirees experiencing elbow pain related to gardening, home renovation, or recreational sport
Parents and caregivers with onset related to increased lifting or holding demands
