Elbow Pain & Tennis Elbow Treatment for Athletes

Train and recover inside Wilmington’s only sports physical therapy facility designed like a professional training environment - combining rehab, performance training, and return-to-sport testing under one roof.

Elbow pain can make lifting, throwing, gripping, swinging, and training frustrating. Whether you’re dealing with tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, throwing pain, or persistent elbow symptoms that keep returning, the goal is more than pain relief - it’s getting back to sport and activity confidently.

At SciSport, we combine performance-based rehab, objective assessment, and return-to-sport principles to help athletes recover and stay healthy.

Why Elbow pain keeps coming back

Many elbow injuries persist because rehab stops after pain decreases.

Athletes often return before restoring:

  • Strength capacity

  • Tendon loading tolerance

  • Grip strength deficits

  • Throwing or lifting capacity

  • Sport-specific movement demands

Our focus is preparing you for performance - not just reducing pain.
