How Does Physical Rehabilitation Therapy Help Elbow Pain?
Muscle Imbalance is a common cause of joint dysfunction, often leading to inflammation and Elbow pain. When left unaddressed, this imbalance can progress to chronic pain and disability. Physical rehabilitation therapy offers a solution by targeting both sides of the problem: strengthening weakened muscles and stretching tightened ones. This dual approach helps restore balance and proper joint function, alleviating pain and preventing further complications.
Physical Therapy can help by:
- Strengthening Weak Muscles: Targeted exercises can strengthen muscles that have become weak due to overuse or disuse.
- Stretching Tight Muscles: Stretching exercises can help to lengthen tight muscles and improve flexibility.
- Improving Posture: Physical therapists can provide guidance on proper posture and teach exercises to improve posture and reduce stress on the joints.
- Modalities: Therapies like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and massage can help reduce pain and inflammation.
By addressing the underlying muscle imbalances, physical therapy can help alleviate elbow pain and improve overall joint health.
