Struggling with Arm Pain? Find Lasting Relief with Soft Tissue Therapy
Arm pain can make everyday tasks difficult—whether it's lifting, gripping, throwing, or even simple movements like reaching for an object. Whether caused by muscle imbalances, nerve compression, repetitive strain, sports injuries, or postural dysfunction, arm pain doesn’t just go away on its own.
At Elite Recovery Sports Therapy, we specialize in neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, and soft tissue therapy to eliminate pain at its source and restore full mobility.
What Causes Arm Pain?
🚫 Repetitive Overuse & Strain: Activities like lifting weights, throwing, gripping, or prolonged typing cause muscle fatigue.
🚫 Postural Imbalances: Poor posture can lead to tension in the scalene, subclavius, and trapezius, referring pain down the arm.
🚫 Nerve Compression & Fascial Restrictions: Tight muscles like the pectorals, subscapularis, and infraspinatus can cause nerve entrapment, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness.
🚫 Sports & Impact Injuries: Baseball, tennis, CrossFit, and combat sports create overuse injuries in the biceps, triceps, deltoid, and rotator cuff.
🚫 Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or overuse in opposing muscle groups can lead to compensation patterns, causing chronic pain and dysfunction.
