These tendons connect the forearm muscles to the arm bone. These muscles move the wrist, hand, and fingers. Physiotherapy is an effective treatment for tennis elbow.

Physiotherapy treatment for Tennis Elbow

Physiotherapy is very important in the treatment of tennis elbow. Initially, your physiotherapist can diagnose your problem, establish its severity and determine a treatment plan specific to you. This may involve activity modification, electrotherapy, soft tissue treatment such as massage and stretching, and the progression through a series of specific strengthening exercises. The physiotherapists at CAPAAR will also be able to assess and determine why you developed tennis elbow and help prevent a re-occurrence when you return to full activity.

Other physiotherapy options include:

• Taping
• Sports Injury Rehab
• Proprioceptive Exercise
• Postural Realignment

A ligament is a short band of tough fibrous connective tissue composed mainly of long, stringy collagen molecules. Ligaments connect bones to other bones in and around joints. They do not connect muscles to bones; that is the function of tendons. Ligaments limit the amount of mobility of a joint, or prevent certain movements altogether.

A sprained ankle (also known as a twisted ankle) commonly causes a tear within one or more of the ligaments of the ankle. The ligaments provide support to the ankle joint. The most common injury is to the ligaments on the outside of the ankle (lateral ligament complex). The ligaments on the inside of the ankle (medial ligament) can also be injured. Physiotherapy is a successful treatment for a sprained ankle.

After the initial RICE treatment, the aim of physiotherapy treatment is to restore the ankle to full function. This involves restoration of full range of motion, strengthening the muscles around the ankle, improving the balance (proprioception) with specific exercises and graduated return to full activity. Other treatments can include:

A meniscal tear is a tear in the cartilage within the knee joint which is called the meniscus. This cartilage provides a shock absorbency system to the knee to aid with the prevention of pain and injury. Meniscal tears can be managed through surgery or through a conservative method. The conservative method is the preferred method of treatment as it avoids an invasive approach.

Physiotherapy for Meniscal Tears

Meniscal tears cause pain and alter the mechanics of the joint. With a meniscal tear the muscles around the knee can become weakened increasing the risk of further injury. Physiotherapy treatment can help to:

• Decrease pain
• Increase the function
• Increase the strength
• Restore normal muscle balance
• Prevent injury
• Restore normal function

Physiotherapy can help to achieve these through a variety of treatments. Some of the treatments may include the following:

• Manual therapy
• Strengthening exercises
• Stretching exercises
• Taping techniques
  Electrotherapy
  Ice and heat therapy
