Elbow Physical Therapyin Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, & New York

Elbow pain can disrupt daily life, making it difficult to perform basic tasks and enjoy activities. At MOTION, we specialize in treating a wide range of elbow pain therapy to help restore mobility, reduce pain, and prevent future injuries. Our expert team uses personalized therapy techniques to target the underlying causes of elbow pain and support lasting recovery.

Common Elbow Conditions We Treat

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)

This common overuse injury is caused by small tears in the tendons on the outside of the elbow, often from repetitive arm movements, such as in tennis or other racquet sports. Symptoms include pain and weakness at the outer elbow, especially during gripping or lifting.

Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)

Golfer’s elbow affects the tendons on the inner side of the elbow, leading to pain and inflammation from activities like golf, throwing, or other repetitive arm motions. Patients often experience pain at the inner elbow and wrist.

Ligament Sprains and Strains

Sudden impacts from falls or sports injuries can lead to sprains and strains in the elbow ligaments.  Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and instability, making movement difficult and uncomfortable.

Tendinitis

Tendinitis is the inflammation of the tendons that connect forearm muscles to the elbow. Caused by repetitive motion or overuse, leads to pain and tenderness around the joint, particularly when using the affected arm.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome  

This condition occurs when the ulnar nerve, also known as the “funny bone,” is compressed or stretched. Symptoms include pain and numbness in the elbow, as well as tingling and numbness in the ring and pinky fingers.

At MOTION, we use personalized elbow pain rehab, helping patients regain mobility and strength. Our evidence-based treatments include:

  • Manual Therapy to improve wrist joint mobility and flexibility.
  • Targeted Exercises designed to strengthen wrist and hand muscles and improve grip.
  • Therapeutic Modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation for pain relief and healing.
  • Education on At-Home Techniques to support recovery and help prevent re-injury.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Please bring a form of identification, your insurance card, and a method of payment if required. Having these items ready helps us check you in smoothly and ensures there are no delays with your appointment. Some of our clinics operate as cashless and checkless locations, meaning credit card payments are the only form of payment accepted. Online payment through MyChart is also available for your convenience.

    For every visit, we recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and gives your therapist access to the area being treated. Many patients find that athletic wear, such as shorts, yoga pants, and sneakers, works best, but any clothing that lets you move comfortably is acceptable.

  • We understand that unexpected situations can arise, and you may find yourself running late or needing to cancel your appointment. If that happens, please call your clinic directly. This allows us to adjust the schedule and reschedule you in a timely manner so your care plan stays on track.

  • Your first appointment will include a full, comprehensive evaluation so we can understand what’s causing your pain and build a personalized treatment plan that works for you. We ask that you arrive 15–20 minutes early so you have time to complete any remaining paperwork and review your insurance benefits. You can save time by completing your new patient forms online before your first visit.

    During the evaluation, your therapist will take time to learn about your medical history, listen to your concerns, and perform a detailed assessment to understand the root cause of your symptoms. This information helps us create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs and goals.

    You’ll then begin your initial treatment session. This usually includes guided exercises and stretches that focus on building strength, improving mobility, and reducing pain. Depending on your condition, your therapist may also incorporate other techniques to support your recovery.

    At the end of your visit, you’ll receive a personalized Home Exercise Program (HEP) to continue your progress between sessions.
    Follow-up visits focus on advancing your program, tracking progress, and making adjustments to keep you moving forward. Because we schedule future visits ahead of time, please bring your schedule with you to help us plan your upcoming visits.

  • 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, yoga pants, or athletic / loose fitting pants and a tee shirt are all good options.
