Tennis elbow treatment During the first session, the therapist will perform an assessment of posture, range of motion, and pain, if any, to create an appropriate treatment plan for you. These will also be reassessed at the beginning of each follow-up session.
The treatment method consists of advanced myofascial release techniques, trigger point work, and advanced stretching techniques combined and performed with a whole body approach where the entire body is viewed as one cohesive unit and incorporated into the treatment as needed. This increases the effectiveness of the treatment and produces long-lasting results.
Based on the wrist and forearm protocol, most of the work is focused on the arm, neck, upper and middle back, chest, and shoulder area, although, as mentioned earlier, the entire body is addressed as needed.
The therapist’s primary focus is on resolving the pain conditions and other associated symptoms that the patient is exhibiting, as well as resolving secondary structures that may be contributing to the discomfort.

During the first session, the therapist will perform a postural assessment as well as a range of motion assessment and pain assessment, if necessary, to create an appropriate treatment plan for you. These are reassessed at the beginning of each follow-up session and again as needed.

There are several muscles in the hip and pelvis area that, when irritated, transmit pain to the leg, either backward or forward. For this reason, we use a combination of the protocols for the hip and pelvis and for the Leg pain treatment, knee and foot.
The therapist uses the initial assessment mentioned above to identify the muscles and structures that may be causing the symptoms and focuses primarily on those areas when working, although as mentioned above, the entire body is addressed if needed.
The therapist’s primary focus is on relieving the pain and other associated symptoms, such as numbness and tingling in the leg, as well as alleviating secondary structures that may be contributing to the symptoms.
Understanding arm pain
The arm is one of the clearest examples of how pain is transmitted throughout our bodies. Although muscles that are part of the arm can directly cause pain in the arm when injured or irritated, and we deal with those in our clinic as well, a great many cases of pain in the arm, hand, and fingers are due to pain originating from a muscle located somewhere between the mid-back and the base of the skull, both on the front and back of the body, rather than in the arm itself.
These muscles, from which pain radiates into the arm, can cause severe pain and weakness, as well as major problems, mainly because in many cases they have symptoms similar to more serious conditions that are often misdiagnosed, sometimes leading to surgery or years of chronic pain and pain-relieving medications.
For example, the brachial plexus nerve plexus passes under the collarbone and chest on its way to the arm. The passageway is small, so an irritated muscle or restricted fascia in this area can cause irritation of the nerve and pain in the arm, hand and/or fingers.
Nerves are not always affected. Muscles such as the lattisimus dorsae or most rotator cuff muscles transmit pain to the arm and hand when they are irritated or have trigger points.
It is the therapist’s job to assess the characteristics of the symptoms and identify, release, and rebalance the structures that are causing the pain, if any Arm pain treatment.
