Abstract	Olecranon bursitis is a condition which is characterized by pain and swelling over the tip of the olecranon process. It usually develops due to repeated pressure, minor trauma, or prolonged leaning on hard surfaces. It is commonly seen in students and office workers who tend to rest their elbows on desks for long periods, which is why it is often called “student’s elbow.” In most cases, the condition is non septic and can be managed conservatively. Physiotherapy plays an important role in reducing swelling, relieving pain, and restoring normal range of motion. Among the different modalities used in physiotherapy, Interferential Therapy (IFT) is widely used because of its deeper penetration and effectiveness in reducing pain and edema. This case study focuses on the role of IFT along with basic physiotherapy in treating a patient with olecranon bursitis.
Keywords	This study focuses on olecranon bursitis (non-septic bursitis) and its physiotherapy management using interferential therapy (IFT), highlighting its role in pain reduction, edema management, and improvement of range of motion through conservative treatment.
