How Can Physical Therapy Help With Your Elbow Pain?

We use our arms all day and physical therapy can help with your pain and function. Firstly, your
physical therapist will accurately diagnose your elbow issue . Secondly, they will watch how
your entire body moves to determine the best, most effective exercises to prescribe. In
addition, your physical therapist may use treatments such as soft tissue massage, joint
mobilizations, myofascial release, strengthening exercises, stretching, education, and electrical stimulation. Specific bracing  may be recommended so you can continue to moderately participate in the activities you love doing.

Some Common Elbow Conditions:

● Elbow Bursitis

Elbow bursae helps cushion bone structures. Upon repetitive stress, it can swell
leading to pain and stiffness.

● Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis)

Repetitive activities that your arm / elbow isn’t accustomed to can cause
inflammation and pain on the outside of the elbow.

● Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis)

Continued and new stressors on the inside of your elbow can cause inflammation
and pain in your daily activities.

● Strain/Sprains

Too much load, too quickly can cause a strain/sprain of the muscles around the
elbow, resulting in pain with your activities of daily living.
