“Sixty-eight years old. Came in for shoulder pain, stayed for the strength classes. The PT and the trainers are on the same team. Nobody else does that. My golf swing has never felt better.”

Physical Therapy · Tennis & golfer's elbow
The elbow isn't the whole story. Build the load it can handle.
Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are tendon-overload problems. The tendon got loaded faster than it could adapt: usually from work, not sport. The fix isn't rest alone; it's building the tendon's capacity so it can handle the load again.
- Rest alone rarely fixes a cranky tendon. We load it the right way so it rebuilds
- First we find what loaded it: the work, sport, or grip pattern that's compensating
- Direct access: no referral required to start
What you're feeling
Is tennis & golfer's elbow starting to shape what you'll do and what you skip?
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) are tendinopathies: overuse and under-recovery of the wrist extensor or flexor tendons. Computer work, gardening, lifting, racket sports, and sudden jumps in volume all show up here. Underneath: a weak shoulder and shoulder blade pushing load down the arm, and grip patterns that loaded the tendon faster than it could adapt.
What we usually hear- A.Pain on the outside of the elbow (tennis) or inside (golfer's)
- B.Weakness or pain gripping: coffee mugs, doorknobs, weights
- C.Discomfort lifting with the palm down, or twisting motions
- D.Stiffness in the morning that loosens as you move
- E.Dull ache that started as occasional and is now constant

From your first visit to moving better for good.
01
Find it.
A 60-minute first visit with a PT or coach: postural pictures, a full movement assessment, baseline numbers. We find where your body is compensating, not just the joint that hurts.
02
Restore the movement.
Manual therapy, targeted programming, progressive loading, aimed at the movement vulnerability driving the pain, not around it. Same practitioner every visit, and the plan adjusts as your movement changes.
03
Reinforce it.
When your tissue can take it, the same system carries into classes and small-group training, reinforcing better movement about 3x a week until it's just how you live. Members come for relief and stay for years because the system keeps progressing.
How we work
Our approach to tennis & golfer's elbow.
Manual therapy for the elbow and forearm, loading of the affected tendon, and progressive grip and shoulder work to reinforce it. We look at what you do all day, the workstation, the racket grip, the lifting pattern, and adjust the load while the tendon catches up.

“I needed some adaptations to the exercises and Carly did great with that. I like how she checked in with me to see how I was doing. This was my first class in over 6 years. I have worked hard to get to this point. She gave me the confidence to know I can do this.”

Why ADAPT
Five reasons members come, and stay for a decade.
01
One system, not a handoff.
Your PT and your coach aren't running separate playbooks. They read the same intake and apply the same movement principles, so restoring better movement in the clinic and reinforcing it in training is one continuous plan, not a baton pass.
02
Direct access in Oregon: no referral required.
Skip the doctor's-office stop-over. Walk in, get assessed, start moving better. PT is cash-pay: only motor-vehicle-accident (PIP) insurance is billed.
03
Same practitioner every visit.
Continuity that compounds. Each session builds on the last because the same eyes track how your movement is changing, and consistency is what actually changes the body.
04
Long-arc, not quick-fix.
A few weeks of relief is fine. Decades of capability is the goal. Getting older doesn't mean giving things up. Members come in for one problem and stay for years because the system keeps progressing with them.
05
We read movement, not just imaging.
Imaging describes the structure. The movement assessment shows where your body is compensating and loading the wrong tissue. We work with what your body actually does, then restore it doing the right job.

What to expect
Get your week back from tennis & golfer's elbow.
Symptoms typically improve within six to twelve weeks of consistent loading, though it varies. Stubborn cases can run three to six months. The catch: rest alone usually fails. Load is the medicine.
Why the system works
- Comprehensive assessment. Postural pictures, full movement screen, and a baseline you can measure progress against. Numbers, not vibes.
- A plan built for your body.Shaped around your goals, your imaging, and what your body actually does, not what it's supposed to do.
- Same practitioner, every visit. Continuity that compounds. The plan adjusts as your movement changes.
- Reinforced until it sticks.As the pain quiets, the same system carries into classes and small-group training so the gains don't slide back.
