If you feel pain when gripping objects, weakness in your hands, or discomfort when typing or lifting, it’s more than just an inconvenience—it’s a sign that your joints, nerves, or muscles are under stress.
At On The Run Physical Therapy in Cedar Park, our specialists find the root cause of your pain and develop a targeted treatment plan to restore movement, prevent long-term damage, and get you back to pain-free living. Ignoring discomfort won’t make it go away. The sooner you seek treatment, the faster and easier your recovery will be.
Common Causes of Elbow, Wrist, and Hand Pain in Cedar Park
Your hands and arms go through thousands of repetitive motions daily, making them highly vulnerable to strain and injury. Common causes include:
- Repetitive Strain & Overuse – Gripping, lifting, or repetitive motions inflame tendons and joints.
- Poor Ergonomics – Awkward hand positioning while working or exercising leads to long-term tissue irritation.
- Trauma & Injury – Falls, impacts, or sudden force can cause fractures, sprains, or nerve damage.
- Arthritis & Joint Degeneration – Chronic inflammation leads to stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Left untreated, these issues can lead to nerve damage, chronic pain, or permanent joint stiffness.
How We Diagnose and Treat Your Pain
At On The Run Physical Therapy, we go beyond just relieving symptoms—we find and fix the underlying cause of your discomfort through a comprehensive evaluation and targeted treatment plan.
What to Expect from Your Evaluation:
- Activity & Movement Analysis – Identifying repetitive strain from work, sports, or daily habits.
- Postural & Alignment Assessment – Detecting imbalances contributing to pain and joint stress.
- Hands-On Strength & Flexibility Testing – Measuring mobility limitations and pinpointing muscle weaknesses.
- Nerve & Circulation Screening – Evaluating whether nerve compression or blood flow issues are involved.
- Medical & Injury History Review – Examining past injuries and factors that may worsen your condition.
Once we identify the root cause, we create a customized treatment plan that includes:
- Hands-on therapy to restore flexibility and reduce pain
- Ergonomic adjustments to prevent future strain
- Strengthening exercises to build resilience in your joints and muscles
FAQs: What You Need to Know About Your Pain and Recovery
How do I know if my pain is serious?
If your pain is persistent, worsening, or affecting daily tasks, it’s a sign that something isn’t healing properly. Pain that lasts more than a few weeks should be evaluated to prevent further damage.
Can this pain go away on its own?
Some minor discomfort improves with rest, but chronic pain, nerve issues, and joint problems rarely resolve without treatment. Delaying care can lead to long-term complications like arthritis, tendon degeneration, or loss of grip strength.
What are my treatment options?
We offer hands-on therapy, movement retraining, ergonomic corrections, and strengthening programs designed to restore function and prevent recurring pain. Our goal is to help you recover without surgery or medication whenever possible.

As a life-long athlete and trainer/fitness instructor for over 30 years I had developed a long-term shoulder injury that had become less functional with each year. Of course, during my time as a fitness pro I had been exposed to and tried numerous methods of shoulder rehab on my own with little improvement to show for it. Luckily, around the time I had begun to settle for an old age limitation I met and began working with Sam Gallardo at On The Run PT. With regular visits and individualized care, I regained range of motion that I had not had in 2 decades and the nagging shoulder pain that came with driving, putting on a shirt, and exercising subsided completely. Unlike some pt scenarios, I know that when I have an appointment with Sam I will be working one-on-one with him for the entire session in a studio that has everything needed to improve athletic performance. Sam provides just the right amount of homework” that allows for steady improvement without being too much to fit into a busy day. At each session, he takes consistent measurements and assessments to make sure we are going in the right direction! Along with being a wealth of professional knowledge, Sam is always upbeat and caring with patients. I look forward to each appointment, knowing I will leave feeling better every time!

After suffering a serious Achilles injury, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever return to running the way I used to. Working with Sam at On the Run completely changed that. From the very first session, Sam took the time to understand my goals, my history as a runner, and the specifics of my injury. His deep knowledge, careful planning, and individualized approach helped me rebuild strength, flexibility, and confidence—step by step. Thanks to Sam’s guidance, I’ve not only returned to running but feel stronger and more balanced than before the injury. If you’re looking for a PT who genuinely cares and delivers results, I can’t recommend On the Run enough.
