Elbow injuries can disrupt your ability to engage in sports and physical activities, affecting your overall performance and quality of life. Common causes of elbow injuries include overuse, traumatic injuries, and sports-related incidents. Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and elbow sprains are among the common conditions that active individuals may encounter.

Understanding the root causes of elbow injuries is crucial for effective treatment. Overuse of the forearm muscles, improper technique, and repetitive stress are often contributors. Common causes of elbow injuries include:

  • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Overuse of the forearm extensor muscles.
  • Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Overuse of the forearm flexor muscles.
  • Elbow Sprains: Ligament injuries due to trauma or overextension.

For athletes and active individuals, a swift return to their favorite activities is essential. Physical therapy emerges as a game-changer in managing elbow injuries. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends physical therapy as an effective, non-invasive approach to alleviate pain and restore function.

Can’t say enough about Wes

I hurt my leg training for a marathon and after working with him a few months, my leg feels GREAT! I just got home from a trip to Europe that I was a little worried about. I felt 100% the 2nd or 3rd day in Paris - maybe it was the 12-13 miles we were walking every day, maybe it was the French bread/wine, maybe it was both. Since i've been back, i've been riding my (indoor) bike too, just trying to get my leg stronger (still going to the gym, still doing my exercises). 

THANK YOU for all of your efforts, your knowledge, your patience. I couldn't have done it without your guidance.  And it is 100000% appreciated.

Skilled and very engaging

I found Wes while he was at Diablo PT via Yelp when I needed help with severe sciatic pain. I was able to schedule sessions with Wes and was amazed at his knowledge, skill and very engaging personality.

At no time did I ever feel that I was getting a "cookie cutter" problem. He listens very well and works with you as an individual to provide exactly what you need.

I can't say enough good things about Wes and how much he helped me fully recover and get even better than I was before my injury.

I feel better each time I leave

Wes Anderson is one of the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is professional, bright, explains everything he is doing to strengthen my body, and I feel better each time I leave. He does not just give you a massage. He is breaking down tight muscles and gives me more flexibility and movement.

No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care

I highly recommend Wes in Danville. Before going to Wes I had gone to several other places. Wes is, hands down, the one of the best. I saw him at his old clinic in Danville Diablo Physical Therapy. No matter what your issue is, you will get the best of care.

Wes is awesome. Very knowledgeable and supportive.

Super detail oriented, reviewed my surgery notes and stick with me through each rep to make sure I'm doing it right. Hands down the best PT experience l've ever had.
