How does Paths in Healing address hand, wrist, arm and elbow pain?

A thorough detailed assessment is done on the injury and posture is charted out. We work the site of pain however we look for other sources that may be causing the problem. Proper soft tissue release is done on areas that require such work. Correct stretching and strengthening exercises are given for homework to continue the progress of work between sessions. We approach the dysfunctions mentioned above as being unique and take on the assumption that no two injuries are the same. The client is taught proper movement patterns for their upper extremities.
