What & How We Treat
Comprehensive Assessment
Our therapists perform a complete evaluation to determine the causes of your elbow pain. This includes factors like joint mechanics, muscle imbalances, and range of motion.
Range of Motion Exercises
Your therapist may prescribe customized exercises focused on improving flexibility, relieving stiffness, enhancing range of motion in the elbow joint, and creating improved mobility.
Strengthening Exercises
We provide specific exercises designed to strengthen the muscles around the elbow (which include the forearm flexors and extensors). This will reduce strain, increase stability, and prevent further injuries.
Joint Mobilization and Manipulation
Our therapists utilize hands-on techniques to reduce pain, increase joint mobility, and restore normal elbow function.
Posture Correction
Our physical therapists provide you with guidance on maintaining proper elbow and wrist posture. This is very important in relieving and preventing elbow pain caused by poor alignment.
Cubital Tunnel or Radial Tunnel Syndrome Management
Your therapist may prescribe specific exercises and activities focused on relieving the symptoms associated with nerve compression syndromes.
Activity Modification
Our therapists offer education and guidance on how to modify your daily activities in order to reduce stress on the elbow, promote healing, and prevent overuse.
Manual Therapy Techniques
We utilize trigger point therapy, soft tissue mobilization, and massage to relieve muscle tension and improve overall tissue health.
Coordination and Proprioception Training
We offer specific exercises to improve coordination and proprioception (awareness of body position). This will enhance overall elbow stability and improve control.
