The elbow poses a unique set of challenges for physical therapists, particularly with chronic conditions like tennis elbow. This condition, while commonly associated with tennis, has become more frequent in today’s fast-paced world, where repetitive tasks like typing, painting, or packing can trigger it. Fractures of the radius and ulna bones are also common elbow problems we treat. 

In the wrist, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most frequent condition, typically caused by repeated hand and wrist movements, often seen in those working long hours at a desk or performing manual tasks.
