Tennis Elbow Physical TherapyBaton Rouge, Denham Springs, Gonzales & Surrounding Cities

Despite the name, tennis elbow is a painful condition that is relatively common even among patients who do not play tennis. Tennis elbow can cause pain and tenderness and prevent patients from continuing their sports or physical activities as well as prevent them from working especially if their job involves persistent motion of the arm, wrist, or elbow. Regardless of your limitations, physical therapists are very helpful in reducing pain and improving mobility for patients with tennis elbow.

What is Tennis Elbow 

Tennis Elbow is a condition caused by strain on your tendons in your forearm that results in pain that can spread anywhere from your elbow down to even your wrist. The strain can be caused by sports, jobs, or even hobbies that require repetitive motion of the arm and wrist over long periods of time. The injury earned its name due to its frequency in tennis players who overuse the muscles in their forearms. The condition can make it painful to do simple daily tasks like opening a door, holding a cup, or cutting vegetables.

Effectively Treat Tennis Elbow 

Tennis Elbow can be easily treated with a physical therapist and at home methods. Physical therapy can be a useful tool for evaluating your range of motion and the severity of the condition as well as finding the best ways to help decrease the strain on your injury. Additionally, a physical therapist can help you gain strength and mobility through exercises and stretches that will help you even after your injury has healed. Along with a physical therapist, Tennis Elbow can be treated with over the counter medications and rest to help with any remaining pain. It is important to get treatment for Tennis Elbow to prevent the possibility of surgery or irreparable damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.

  • 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.

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! 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.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.

Best place ever. I had at least 4 separate injuries/surgeries where I needed therapy for my knee and back. Each time Tyler, Seth and crew got me back on track. You can't beat their personal attention to your specific needs.
