Elbow and arm

Physical therapy offers benefits for elbow disorders, including pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation, improving mobility, and relieving pain. Conditions like Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow, often caused by tendonitis, can be treated with physical therapy to reduce pain and improve joint motion.

Therapists will work with you to identify the causes of your injury and suggest exercises that improve blood flow and reduce strain on the joints. Treatments may include stretching, strengthening, massage, and using supports like straps or braces.

Common Elbow Disorders

​

• Biceps Tendonitis: Inflammation of the biceps tendon due to repetitive use.

• Olecranon Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa at the elbow’s tip.

• Golfer's Elbow: Inflammation of wrist flexor tendons from overuse.

• Tennis Elbow: Inflammation of wrist extensor tendons from overuse.

Elbow Rehabilitation

​

Physical therapy focuses on stretching and strengthening the elbow muscles to aid recovery and prevent future injuries. Working on the biceps, triceps, wrists, and forearms strengthens the entire upper extremity. A physical therapist will guide you through exercises to restore elbow mobility and strength.
