Patient case studies
Real recovery paths from our Calgary clinic. Names and details are changed for privacy.
Ultrasound was applied before each session to support tendon healing at the elbow. We progressed from isometric wrist holds to slow eccentric lowering exercises with increasing load as grip strength and pain levels allowed.
Grip pain during serves eased by week four. He returned to league tennis without a brace at week eight and played a full tournament season. He still warms up with eccentric wrist exercises before matches.
