Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) Treatment in Bursa

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. Bilal Kara runs a programme in Bursa Nilüfer built not on resting the tendon but on raising, step by step, the load it can carry.

When is it needed?

  • The forearm giving out on pull-ups or pulling movements
  • Outer-elbow pain appearing once pulling volume increases
  • Weak grip
  • A complaint that eases temporarily with less weight but persists
  • Pain that changes with grip width

What we do

  • Measuring grip strength
  • Raising the pain threshold with isometric loading
  • Increasing tendon capacity with slow-tempo eccentric work
  • Opening up pulling volume and grip width based on measurement
  • Regular re-measurement of grip strength

Tennis Elbow in Bursa Nilüfer

Fzt. Bilal Kara 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 your forearm gives out on pull-ups and weights

Pain on the outer side of the elbow in people who train usually appears after an increase in pulling-movement volume. When grip stays weak, load piles up at the tendon's attachment point; reducing the weight suppresses the complaint but doesn't fix the problem.

Fzt. Bilal Kara restructures the training rather than stopping it. Grip strength is measured, the pain threshold is raised with isometric loading, and then tendon capacity is increased with slow-tempo eccentric work. Pulling volume and grip width are opened up gradually based on these measurements.

Why does the pain start once pulling volume increases?

How is the programme restructured?

When is pulling volume opened up?

Pulling volume and grip width are opened up gradually, based on measured grip strength and pain threshold.

Frequently asked questions

Should I stop pulling exercises?

Usually not; the programme aims to keep training going by restructuring pulling volume and grip based on measurement.

Why does eccentric work matter so much?

It's a particularly effective method for increasing tendon capacity; it makes the muscle carry a controlled load while lengthening.

When can I return to full load?

Once grip strength and pain threshold reach a measured level, grip and volume are increased gradually.
