Yes, physical therapy can be very effective for managing chronic elbow pain. It helps by improving flexibility, strength, and stability in the muscles around your elbow, which can reduce pain and enhance your range of motion.
Simply answer: No! Physical therapy (hot/cold application, electrotherapy, massage, manipulation, stretching, strengthening, etc.) is not effective and stretching/strengthening should be avoided. Elbow pain, commonly called "tennis elbow", comes from soft tissue injury (muscle/fascia strain). The jammed-up strained/tightened tissue, like tangled hair, must be untangled/released to recover, otherwise the injury is likely to remain unresolved for life. The only way to resolve the injury is done internally by the body itself via light touch, i.e., Touch-and-Hold of The Precision Method to initiate self-healing. It usually takes only one hour to cure pain. This is detailed in my book "NO MORE PAIN  All Pain Considered - A Breakthrough". Please refer to my website: NoMorePainClinic.com.
