I thought I hurt my elbow playing in an adult softball league. But I didn’t get better with physical therapy until the therapist changed my computer station. She adjusted things to fit my size and improve my sitting posture. I want to pass this tip on to other elbow tendonitis sufferers.

Thank you! And there’s a study to back you up on this. Researchers in Canada found that workers with tennis elbow using their forearm at least 25 hours/week have poorer results after treatment than those with fewer hours at the computer. Repetitive-work tasks appear to be the problem.

hanging the computer station at home and at work can help patients recover from tennis elbow … even when the tennis elbow came from a sports injury. Women (and especially women with neck or nerve pain) also had a slower recovery time.

Finding risk factors like these can help therapists and patients alike in planning the best rehab program. It will help predict how long recovery may take.
