Physical therapy plays a crucial role in elbow rehabilitation. Whether recovering from an injury, surgery, or overuse, targeted exercises help restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

Key benefits of physical therapy for the elbow:

Reduces pain and inflammation
Improves joint mobility and flexibility
Strengthens surrounding muscles to prevent re-injury
Speeds up recovery and supports a safe return to daily activities or sports

Consistency and guided exercises are key—working with a skilled physical therapist ensures the best results.

Wearing the right shoes is more than a style choice—it’s essential for your foot health. Proper footwear supports arches, cushions joints, and prevents common issues like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and ankle injuries.

Tips for choosing the right shoes:

Ensure a proper fit with enough room for toes.
Look for adequate arch and heel support.
Choose shoes suited to your activity, whether walking, running, or standing for long periods.
Replace worn-out shoes to maintain support and prevent injury.

Healthy feet start from the ground up—your shoes make all the difference!

Many people notice increased stiffness or pain in their joints when the weather changes, especially during cold, rainy, or humid days. Barometric pressure shifts can cause tissues around joints to expand, triggering discomfort.

Tips to ease weather-related joint pain:

Stay active with gentle exercises to keep joints flexible.
Keep warm with layers or heated wraps.
Maintain a balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods.
Stretch regularly to reduce stiffness.

Remember, listening to your body and making small adjustments during weather changes can help manage discomfort.

✅ Prioritize Nutrition: Protein, vitamins, and hydration fuel healing.
✅ Rest Smart: Quality sleep speeds recovery.
✅ Stay Positive: Mental resilience is just as important as physical healing.

✋ Tendonitis or Carpal Tunnel? Know the Difference

Hand and wrist pain can slow you down, but the cause isn’t always the same:

🟢 Tendonitis

Pain, swelling, or tenderness in the wrist or hand
Often caused by overuse or repetitive motion
Pain usually worsens with activity

🔵 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand/fingers

Caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist

Symptoms may worsen at night or with certain hand positions

💡 Both conditions can impact your daily life, but they need different treatment approaches. Early diagnosis is the key to relief.

👉 Don’t let wrist or hand pain hold you back. Schedule an appointment with Southern Bone & Joint Specialists today and get the right care.
