Elbow Pain That Won't Quit Is Costing You More Than You Think
You're Missing Out on the Activities You Love
Whether it's swinging a racket, lifting at the gym, or simply shaking hands without wincing—elbow pain puts your favorite activities on hold and chips away at your quality of life one day at a time.
Generic Treatment Keeps You Stuck in a Cycle
Cookie-cutter exercise handouts and rushed 15-minute appointments don't get to the root cause. Without a personalized plan, elbow pain tends to come back—often worse than before.
Waiting Too Long Turns a Minor Issue Into a Major One
What starts as nagging tennis elbow or a dull ache can progress to chronic tendinopathy or nerve involvement. The longer you wait, the longer your recovery. Getting the right help now protects your long-term health.

"Dr. Ben is excellent. It was easy to ask him questions and it always felt like he understood my goals. He helped me feel more knowledgeable about my ankle recovery and all the different things I can do to make it stronger. I gained a lot of confidence in my ankle from going to our sessions and doing the exercises at home. Thank you Ben!!!!"
Mary Wagner
"I've done PT at several different places and think this is my favorite as far as effectiveness. Ben carefully examined my foot and ankle and prescribed a set of exercises specifically designed to strengthen that area. After I left, I was able to access on-line videos of Ben clearly demonstrating how to do each exercise correctly. I would definitely recommend Bend Movement Physical Therapy and Dr. Benjamin Klingelhofer for all of your physical therapy needs."
Ellen Armstrong
"Ben is amazing! I own a gym, and I have members who also play volleyball, soccer, pickleball, basketball, or run. In addition to proper recovery, Ben helps you focus on building strength to prevent future injuries. I recommend Ben to all my members and to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable physical therapist! Plus he's just a great guy who everyone loves and respects! Highly recommend!!!"
