Diagnosis

What We Do >>

We conduct a thorough examination including the head, neck, and arms. We determine the root cause of your symptoms to ensure that physical therapy treatment is the best option for you.

How We Do It >>

We examine posture, range of motion, strength, reflexes, sensation, soft tissue mobility, joint mobility, nerve mobility, and functional movements to create a custom treatment plan. We also take into account any imaging that you have had like X-Rays, MRI, CT scans, etc.

Treatment Plan

We may use a combination of the following
techniques to help you get your life back:

  • Joint manipulation/mobilization to decrease pain and improve movement in the elbow
  • Soft tissue mobilization to reduce muscle guarding and increase mobility of the forearm muscles
  • Dry Needling to reduce muscular pain and increase the health of muscle tissue especially in the forearm
  • Neuromuscular retraining to teach your body how to move in a better way from your spine down to your hand
  • Mobility training to increase flexibility and range of motion in your shoulder, elbow, and forearm
  • Strength training to increase your biceps, triceps, forearm and grip strength
  • Endurance training to improve your capacity to do what you love without pain especially if you’re a fitness or strength athlete
