Tennis elbow—also known as lateral epicondylitis—impacts people who frequently rely on their arms and hands, causing pain and tenderness along the outside of the elbow.

For those in Kalispell South, MT, tennis elbow is a common overuse injury caused by repetitive strain on the forearm muscles, leading to tiny tendon tears where they attach at the lateral epicondyle of the elbow. Physical therapy helps reduce pain and inflammation while rebuilding strength and restoring arm function. Physical therapists create individualized treatment plans tailored to each person’s needs, addressing pain, stiffness, and limitations in range of motion.

During a tennis elbow physical therapy session, your therapist begins with a thorough evaluation to identify the source of pain or discomfort in the affected area. Through hands-on methods and clinical assessments, they determine which muscles, tendons, or tissues are contributing to the problem.

Your care plan may include rest and ice, targeted exercises and rehabilitation, manual therapy, supportive braces or straps, and ergonomic adjustments. Progress is closely tracked to ensure pain is easing and function is being restored.
