Join the APTA Colorado West District for a social-educational gathering of therapy professionals to discuss the CPG: Lateral Elbow Pain and Muscle Function Impairments - from the December 2022 issue of JOSPT. "Although often described as a self-limiting condition and likely to resolve on its own, high recurrence rates and extended sick leave frame a need for effective non-surgical treatment for people with lateral elbow tendinopathy. The interrelationship of histological and structural changes to the tendon, the associated impairments in motor control, and potential changes in pain processing may all drive symptoms. This clinical practice guideline covers the epidemiology, functional anatomy and pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical course, prognosis, differential diagnosis, tests and measures, and interventions for managing lateral elbow tendinopathy in the physical therapy clinic. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2022;52(12):CPG1–CPG111. doi:10.2519/jospt.2022.0302"

All are welcome to this free event, and we will be joined by therapists from Bariloche, Argentina who will be on exchange to the Roaring Fork Valley. Potluck style dinner with empanadas provided. The clubhouse does have electricity, a stove, and a refrigerator if needed. BYOB.
