Tricep Pain Treatment in Ely

If you're dealing with tricep pain, our HCPC & CSP-registered physiotherapists in Ely can assess the underlying cause and build a personalised treatment plan to help you recover and get back to normal activity.

Common Causes

  • Overuse from repetitive pushing, lifting or throwing movements
  • Muscle strain from sudden heavy lifting
  • Tendinopathy at the point where the tricep attaches near the elbow
  • Referred pain from the neck or shoulder (see our neck pain and shoulder pain pages)

How Physiotherapy Can Help

A physiotherapist will assess strength, flexibility and movement patterns in the arm, shoulder and neck to establish the cause of tricep pain, then guide you through a progressive loading and stretching programme to restore strength and reduce pain.

When to Seek Urgent Care

Most tricep pain improves well with physiotherapy, but a sudden, severe tearing pain at the back of the arm during heavy lifting — especially with visible swelling, bruising or a change in the shape of the muscle, or an inability to straighten the elbow against resistance after a specific injury — can indicate a tricep tendon rupture and needs prompt medical assessment (GP, urgent care, or A&E) rather than booking physiotherapy first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is tricep pain usually serious?

Most tricep pain is due to overuse or muscle strain and responds well to physiotherapy, but sudden severe pain during heavy lifting should always be checked promptly.

Do I need a referral to be seen for tricep pain?

No — you can self-refer directly to Physio Pulse without seeing a GP first.
