Elbow Therapy, also known as elbow rehabilitation, aims to restore function and reduce pain in the elbow joint. It is typically used to treat a range of conditions that affect the elbow, such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and dislocated elbow. Therapy for the Elbow typically involves a combination of exercises, stretches, manual therapy, and other techniques designed to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the elbow joint. The specific techniques used in the therapy will depend on the individual’s condition and their treatment goals.

An Elbow Therapist or Elbow Therapy Practitioner has a Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy degree, can be registered with the Australian Hand Therapy Association, undertakes extra on the job training and focuses exclusively on the upper extremity or arms. They collaborate with other professionals, including hand surgeons, GPs, and rehabilitation consultants, to ensure you get the best care possible.
