A Potent Physical Therapy Toolbox for Arm and Hand Pain
At Swamp Rabbit Physiotherapy and Performance Physical Therapy, we utilize an array of evidence-based techniques to target the root causes of your elbow, wrist, and hand pain and get you lasting relief:
1. Pain and Inflammation Management
First, we focus on relieving your immediate pain and swelling to restore comfort and mobility. Hands-on manual therapy like massage, joint mobilizations, dry needling, and modalities like heat, ice, ultrasound, and e-stim dial down inflammation and irritation. This primes you for healing.
2. Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion
Next, we develop a customized flexibility program with stretches and range of motion exercises specifically suited to open up stiff, restricted joints in your elbow, wrist, and hand. Gentle, progressive movements extend your capabilities so you can complete tasks fluidly.
3. Strengthening and Neuromuscular Re-education
Finally, targeted strengthening builds up the muscular support around your arm’s joints. And neuromuscular re-education retrains proper movement patterns to prevent re-injury. Together, these strategies reinforce stability for lasting relief.
Over 6-12 weeks of therapy, most patients achieve significant reductions in arm and hand discomfort, renewed capability and stamina for daily activities, enhanced athletic performance, and substantially improved quality of life.
