SHOULDER, ELBOW, AND WRIST PAIN It’s time to say goodbye to elbow, wrist and shoulder pain once and for all. Identifying the cause of your pain and taking steps to combat ill habits that may be contributing to your discomfort can have a significant impact on your quality of life. Wave goodbye to pain in your hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders with targeted techniques from your experienced physical therapists. Think about the tasks that make up the majority of your day-to-day life. It is often said that life in the 21st century is way easier on the body than life during any other time in human history — and it’s true that there is a fair amount of evidence to support this idea. Rather than spending all of your days working in a factory or on a farm, the vast majority of Americans work indoors, often at a computer for a predetermined number of hours week after week. But this new lifestyle isn’t exactly harmless for the body, either. There are plenty of ways in which the common tasks of 21st-century life put the body under a great deal of stress. Sedentary lifestyles frequently contribute to weight gain, which increases your risk for a long list of obesity-related diseases. This puts additional stress on your body, which could result in pain in crucial joints like your shoulders, elbows and yes, even your wrists. But even aside from that, there are a lot of potential issues that your body can face as a result of sedentary behavior in the workplace — including shoulder, elbow and wrist pain. Elbow,wristandshoulder injuriesareespeciallycommonasa resultofworkplace injury and overuse. While it is sometimes possible to take action to prevent an injury from developing, it is especially important to be able to recognize when Where Is It Coming From?

an injury develops and to understand ways that you can combat that injury by identifying what may have caused the pain to develop in the first place. Common issues that can lead to shoulder, wrist and elbow pain include: • Issues with poor posture • Carpal tunnel syndrome, which can develop from overuse of the wrist and regular, repetitive motions, such as typing • Heavy lifting

• Athletic injuries • Muscle sprain • Muscle strain • Dislocation or hyperextension of the joints Getting a Handle on Wrist, Elbow and Shoulder Pain

One of the biggest concerns regarding pain in the wrist, elbow and shoulder is that it is difficult to impossible to actually allow these parts of the body time to rest. Every movement and action requires these body parts — and when the pain develops in both arms, as it often does, treating the pain becomes even more complicated. It is impossible to care for your basic needs without involving your shoulder or wrist, let alone get through a day at the office. This is why so many issues regarding pain in the wrists, elbows and shoulders typically become chronic. Since it is difficult to allow these body parts time to properly rest, they continue being overused and the pain can actually worsen.

Treating Shoulder, Elbow, & Wrist Pain

Addressing the pain early on is the best way to prevent an issue from becoming chronic. Turning to medication and braces for pain management is not a long-term solution and will only push off the inevitable truth — that you need to find a solution for the problem that is causing you pain. Physical therapy is the ideal tool forsupport in this regard.Workingwith a physical therapist will provide you with an opportunity to understand what movements may be causing further discomfort, and can help you to strengthen the surrounding muscles while improving range of motion, which togetherwill likely alleviatesomeof thepain associated with your injury.

TOPHER STESBY "I first came to Greg towards the beginning of my senior year in high school. Prior to this point I had won three swimming High School State Championships. Early in my senior season I developed a shoulder injury which led me to Greg as I knew that he had worked with swimmers in the past. My main issue came from an over tightness in my chest and shoulders. At the time this first started bothering me I didn’t really expect to be able to come back very quickly or swim at the same level that I was at before. After a week of kicking during practice, to give my shoulders a break, I went back to swimming and continued to work with Greg twice a week trying to get back to where I was before. With his help, I ended my senior season with another State Championship and personal best times in the 50 freestyle (going 19.93 at High School State and 19.76 at Senior State a week later). With the help of Rebound Fitness & Rehabilitation, I know I will be well prepared for the challenges that will be presented to me, swimming at the D1 level at the University of Notre Dame."
