Elbow Pain

Can Physiotherapy Heal My Sore Elbow?

Does your elbow hurt when you throw a ball, swing a tennis racquet, or hit that perfect drive with the golf club? How about does your elbow hurt when you lift your coffee cup in the morning or while carrying groceries?

We see lots of elbow injuries at this time of year as people are outside enjoying summer sports like baseball, tennis, and golf. The elbow is an important joint that allows us to enjoy these activities, but the elbow can become very sore if it is injured or overused.

At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks, we evaluate every injury to determine what your injury is and what is likely causing it. We then use hands on treatment and exercises to fix your injury and then prevent it from reoccurring.

If you are dealing with an elbow injury (or any injury) this summer, call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks today to find out how we can help resolve your pain and get you back to enjoying this summer heat. 403-982-5600!

Pulled Hamstrings

Can Physiotherapy Heal My Pulled Hamstring?

The body has three hamstring muscles that run down the back side of the upper thigh. These three muscles bend the knee and also slightly help extend the hip.

Hamstrings are often injured during sports that involve rapid changes in speed, during heavy lifts, or during activities that cause the leg to be torqued in different directions.

Hamstring injuries often feel like sharp pains that run down the back of the leg and can sometimes include large areas of bruising.

At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks, we routinely treat hamstring injuries and return our clients to full function quickly and effectively. Rehab for hamstring injuries involves hands on therapy, stretching, and progressive strengthening exercises. Hamstrings that are not properly treated become weak points for future injury.

If you are dealing with any hamstring pain, call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks today to find out how we can help you get back to your full potential quickly. You can reach us at 403-982-5600, Monday-Friday 7am - 8pm!
