Kinesiotaping + Exercises Decreases Elbow Pain

Have persistent elbow pain? Is it getting in the way of playing tennis, gardening, or carrying the groceries? Maybe you’ve tried stretching, or massage. Maybe you’ve tried rest or ice.

Don’t worry! We can help!

A study in 2019 found that elbow pain significantly improved when patients were given exercises in addition to kinesiotaping. This was compared to groups who were given only exercises, or a sham taping technique.

All of our physical therapists can teach you how to tape your own elbow for pain relief, and give you the appropriate exercises to help you recover!
