Potential patients will be referred for physical therapy with elbow nerve pain arising from a non-structural lesion. We believe by addressing spine and trunk posture and mobility we can relieve elbow pain associated with a nerve compression with physical therapy.~Patients will be put on a staged exercise program to regain spinal mobility and strengthen proximal core musculature and scapular musculature. Manual therapy to facilitate mobility will be incorporated. Patients will undergo standard physical therapy by an unblinded therapist until resolution of symptoms.
This study is investigating the effect of using a regional interdependence approach of managing non-structural elbow pain with physical therapy.
