ElbowHealth In Motion offers multiple locations in Wisconsin, with an additional location in Western Pennsylvania.

Your elbow is a complex joint formed by three long bones in your arm. Four sets of muscles help move the joint and are attached to the bones by thick tendons. Any of these structures or the joint’s network of nerves, blood vessels and ligaments can lead to elbow pain. Most elbow pain isn’t serious, but because you use your elbow in so many ways it can be disruptive to daily life. Most elbow pain can be improved with simple home treatments. However, if your elbow pain results from injury, physical or occupational therapy can help in healing and preventing future problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into a room for initial evaluation. We discuss what is going on, where the pain is coming from, and how the pain has been since the last visit or before your first visit.
    3. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    4. You perform exercises and stretches which may include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    5. We can initiate other techniques to include spinal manipulation, joint mobilization, taping, cupping, dry needling and the Neubie as needed.
    6. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, make any appointments necessary, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
  • You should wear loose clothes that make it easy to move. We also recommend sneakers. Workout clothes will work, but any comfortable clothing will work fine. Plan on giving your therapist access to your area of concern. The less your clothes restrict your movement and the more comfortable you are, the better. Shorts or athletic/loose fitting pants and a tee shirt are all good options.
