Once our therapist has determined the source of your pain, we’ll develop a customized treatment program to help you find relief. The good news is that physical therapy alone can resolve most common sources of wrist and elbow pain. Here are a few of the techniques we might incorporate into your program: • Manual Therapy: Manual therapy techniques help reduce pain and restore mobility restrictions. We might guide the joint through its current range of motion, manipulate your soft tissue, or try other techniques. • Therapeutic Exercises: We’ll create a targeted, progressive exercise program to ease your symptoms. We’ll start with gentle stretches and mobility work, then move on to strengthening exercises to help support and stabilize the impacted joint. • Braces and Splints: Some conditions might benefit from a brace or splint, which temporarily immobilizes the joint as you work on treatment. We’ll let you know if it’s a good choice and help you find the right device to suit your needs. • Injury Prevention: We’ll let you know what you can do to prevent future injuries. We might show you ergonomic adjustments to reduce the impact of repetitive movements,
postural corrections to minimize strain on your wrist or elbow, or other strategies.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH VEGAN JERK TACOS
Mango Avocado Salsa: • 2 c diced mango • 1 ripe avocado, diced • ¾ c diced red onion • ½ c diced cucumber • 3 tbsp fresh orange juice • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice • ½ c cilantro, chopped
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon • ¼ tsp nutmeg Jackfruit: • 2 (20-oz) cans jackfruit • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil • 6 scallions, sliced • 4 garlic cloves, minced
• Sea salt Jamaican Jerk Seasoning: • 1½ tsp onion powder • 1 tsp sweet or hot paprika • 1 tsp ground black pepper • 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1½-in fresh ginger, grated • 1 jalapeño pepper, minced • 2 tbsp coconut sugar • 2 tbsp tomato paste • ¼ c tamari • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice • 12 corn tortillas, warmed
• ½ tsp ground allspice • ½ tsp ground cumin
Directions: Make the mango-avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the mango, avocado, onion, cucumber, orange juice, lime juice, and cilantro and mix gently. Season to taste with salt. Make the Jamaican Jerk Seasoning. Combine all of the spices together in a small bowl. Prepare the jackfruit: Drain the canned jackfruit and lightly rinse under water, shaking off excess water. Use your fingers to remove any thick cores and pull the pieces apart so that it resembles shredded pork. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and chile pepper and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add all of the Jamaican jerk seasoning, stir to coat, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until very fragrant. Add the shredded jackfruit, coconut sugar, tomato paste, tamari, and lime juice. Stir well. Pour in 1/2 cup water and mix again. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve the jackfruit with the tortillas and mango avocado salsa.
