Physical Therapy is perhaps the most effective treatment method to get rid of elbow pain. With the combination of exercise, stretching, and therapeutic modalities such as massage, ice, and electrical stimulation, the cause of elbow pain can be relieved and the elbow is made stronger to prevent the onset of future injury.
Elbow Physical Therapy
Our Howard Beach physical therapists at Cross Bay Physical Therapy are trained to heal elbow pain through exercise strategy and have helped patients in Howard Beach for over 30 years. Cross Bay Physical Therapy's program is patient-focused, where physical therapists create a individualized treatment plan based on the patient’s age and lifestyle to produce the maximum results.
The goal of treatment is to eliminate elbow pain, stretch, and make the elbow stronger. We want you to finish the several week program able to fully do the activities that make your day great. Here are two effective elbow exercises that strengthen the elbow and it’s surrounding muscles.
- Tubing Exercise For External Rotation - The first beneficial exercise during your program applies an exercise band. This exercise band is attached to a post. Stand at rest and grab the band with the injured hand. Keep your elbow at a 90 degree angle and pull the band away from the body until you feel muscle resistance. Keep your elbow at it’s original 90 degree angle and the arm parallel to the floor. Repeat the recommended number of times.
- Wrist Extension and Wrist Flexion - Lying the forearm on a flat surface such as a table and holding a light weight, slowly bend the wrist upward and back down to it's orginal position. Repeat recommended number of times.
These two example are a few of the important exercises your learn during phycial therapy. Physical Therapy exercise strengthens the elbow without damaging it allowing the elbow to become stronger. Before and after each therapy session, our physical therapists provide therapeutic massage, ice and/or heat, and electric muscle stimlation. Treating the elbow after and before the exercise session is tremendously important to facilitate the elbow’s fully recovery.
