Athletic training environment

You should not have to guess which movements are helping, irritating, or holding you back. Coby Performance helps you build a clearer plan for movement, strength, and progression.

Why Elbow Pain Needs a Clear Plan

Move Away from Guesswork

Elbow pain can be frustrating because it often shows up during the activities people rely on most: lifting, gripping, pressing, pulling, carrying, training, sport, work, or everyday movement. Some people try to rest until it goes away. Others keep pushing through without knowing what to modify or how to progress.

Coby Performance helps clients move away from guesswork by looking at movement, strength, symptoms, activity demands, training history, and goals. The plan is built to help clients understand what to work on, what to adjust, and how to move forward with more clarity.

What We Support

Common Elbow Pain Challenges Coby Performance Can Help Support

Elbow Pain With Lifting or Gripping

For people who notice elbow pain during lifting, gripping, pulling, pressing, rows, curls, carries, or gym training. The focus is on movement, loading, strength, and exercise progression.

Elbow Pain With CrossFit or Gym Training

For CrossFit athletes and active adults who notice elbow irritation during pull-ups, pressing, barbell work, kettlebell movements, or repetitive training volume. The plan helps clients understand what to modify and how to progress.

Elbow Pain With Golf, Sport, or Repetitive Activity

For golfers, athletes, and active adults dealing with elbow discomfort during sport, rotation, gripping, repetitive work, or training. The focus is on loading, strength, movement quality, and activity-specific demands.

Elbow Pain With Work or Daily Activity

For people who feel limited by elbow pain during work tasks, carrying, gripping, lifting, or repetitive daily movement. The approach focuses on practical strategies, strength, and function.

Recurring or Overuse Elbow Pain

For people who feel like elbow pain returns when training volume, gripping, lifting, or repetitive activity increases. The focus is on movement education, loading, recovery habits, and progression.

Return to Activity After an Elbow Injury

For people working back toward lifting, sport, work, or active life after an acute elbow injury or setback.

The Approach

A Strength and Loading-Based Approach to Elbow Pain

Elbow pain is not always solved by avoiding movement completely. Coby Performance looks at how the client moves, how they load the elbow, what grip and strength demands are involved, and what activities they want to return to. Dr. Jordan Coby builds a personalized plan around the client's symptoms, movement, strength, training history, lifestyle, and goals.
