How we can help

Physical therapy can be an effective treatment for tennis elbow by helping to reduce pain, improve flexibility, and strengthen the muscles and tendons in the affected area. A physical therapist can work with the patient to develop an individualized exercise program that includes specific stretches and strengthening exercises to alleviate pain and promote healing.
