Expert Manual Therapy in Decatur, GA
Elbow pain, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow—whatever is keeping you off the court, course, or barbell, Atlanta Sports Recovery delivers hands-on manual therapy in Decatur designed to find the root cause and fix it fast. We give everyday athletes the same world-class care that collegiate and pro athletes rely on. One-on-one sessions, no rushing, and a clear plan from day one.
Elbow Pain That Won't Go Away Is Costing You
Ignoring elbow pain or settling for generic rehab doesn't just delay recovery—it puts your entire athletic season, your training, and your long-term function at risk.
You Keep Pushing Through the Pain
Training through tennis elbow or golfer's elbow without addressing the root cause leads to chronic tendinopathy, compensation injuries, and a much longer road back to full performance.
Generic PT Isn't Built for Athletes
Most clinics put you in a group, hand you a resistance band, and call it rehab. If you're a runner, CrossFitter, golfer, or swimmer, you need a recovery plan built around how you actually move and compete.
Every Week Without Answers Is a Week Lost
Without a clear diagnosis, a realistic timeline, and a targeted treatment plan, you're guessing. You risk missing your race, your season, or your next PR—while the injury quietly gets worse.

"Dr. Dave's protocols saved my shoulder! In under 3 weeks—after more than 3 months of injury—I went from largely immobile to swimming all 6 of my events at an All-Stars meet, even managing a Personal Best in my freestyle and placing 1st in 2 events."

Common Questions
Atlanta Sports Recovery operates on a self-pay model, which means we're not in-network with insurance providers. This allows us to dedicate full one-on-one sessions to you—no double-booking, no aide handoffs, no rushing. We provide a detailed superbill after each visit that you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We also accept HSA and FSA payments. Initial evaluations are $165; follow-up sessions are $90.
Your initial evaluation is a full deep-dive into your injury. Your therapist will assess your movement, identify the root cause of your elbow pain (whether it's tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, a wrist or shoulder issue contributing upstream, or something else), and walk you through exactly what they find. You'll leave with a written recap of your evaluation, a realistic healing timeline, and a clear treatment plan—including take-home exercises. No guessing, no vague advice.
Most clinics see multiple patients per hour, rely heavily on exercise machines, and offer limited hands-on time. Every session at Atlanta Sports Recovery is 1:1 with a sports-specialized therapist who is also an athlete. We include advanced modalities—shockwave therapy, Class IV medical laser, dry needling, Active Release Technique, Graston, cupping, and joint manipulation—at no additional cost per session. The goal isn't just pain relief. It's getting you back to your sport, stronger and smarter about how to stay there.
