Ann Porretto-Loehrke, PT, DPT, CHT, COMT, CMTPT, a leading expert in upper extremity rehab, joins host Phil Plisky to rethink what we really know about lateral elbow pain. Together, we dig into the clinical clues that help you distinguish between tendon, joint, and nerve involvement—and what to do when it’s not just a tendinopathy. You’ll hear how recent evidence and real world case examples can reshape your eval and treatment approach. Join us for a fresh look at a common diagnosis that isn’t always what it seems.
