IS ELBOW PHYSICAL THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Whether you’re carrying groceries, picking up your toddler, or using your mouse at work, your elbows are the unsung heroes of your daily tasks. That’s why it’s essential to recover from an elbow injury (or prevent one) and understand its cause and full-body implications. 

In the MOTIVNY studio, your physical therapists will assess your body as a whole to treat your current symptoms and prevent further injury to your elbow and entire body. 

If you’re wondering whether elbow physical therapy is right for you, check out some of the most common symptoms we treat: 

PAIN

Elbow injuries can result in prolonged dull or severe pain and swelling, resulting in constant discomfort.

IMMOBILITY

Soreness and loss of wrist function often accompanies elbow pain, making lifting, carrying, and weightbearing with your upper body difficult.

WEAK GRIP

Many athletes find grasping objects or maintaining a stable grip challenging due to elbow pain.

DISRUPTION

Your day-to-day activities might be disrupted, including working, exercising, and socializing.

“Unlike other PTs, James took time to understand. He worked with me to test my specific symptoms, listen to my goals, and work with me to create a plan that helped me achieve them. If you want to not just recover but come back strong and better than you were before, go to James.”

MOTIVNY’s Approach to Physical Therapy for an Elbow Injury

Manual physical therapy for your elbow is a targeted approach focusing on manipulating your joints and tissues based on findings from a biomechanical assessment. 

We use various manual physical therapy techniques to treat athletes holistically and examine every possibility without solely focusing on one injury. Check out our FAQ section to see what types of techniques we use. 

You can also work with our expert coaches to complement your physical therapy with one-on-one training.
