Despite the name, tennis elbow mostly affects people who never play tennis. The tendons of the muscles that lift the wrist and fingers share an attachment on the outer bony point of the elbow, and repeated gripping and twisting overloads it. The tradesman turning a screwdriver, the office worker on a mouse all day and the parent carrying a baby can all end up with the same picture. Fzt. Kemran Hafız runs a programme in Bursa Nilüfer built not on resting the tendon but on raising, step by step, the load it can carry.
About your physiotherapist
Fzt. Kemran Hafız provides one-to-one care for tennis elbow at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
If numbness, tingling or a loss of dexterity in the hand and fingers accompanies pain on the outer side of the elbow, the picture isn't explained by the tendon alone. Findings originating from the neck root or from nerve passage points in the forearm can be felt in the same area as tennis elbow.
Fzt. Kemran Hafız makes this distinction by examining the neck, shoulder and forearm together; sensory and strength findings are recorded. If there's a nerve-related contribution, the programme also includes gliding exercises — it isn't limited to tendon loading alone.

Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation
Even though their names come from sport, these two conditions are seen most often in people who don't play sport at all. Both are overuse of the elbow tendons.

Chiropractic and manual therapy are often confused. Both are done with the hands, but their approaches and frameworks differ.

Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation
The sharp heel pain on the first step in the morning is often assumed to be a heel spur. But the real name for this condition is plantar fasciitis, and the two aren't the same thing.
