Tennis Elbow Pain: Symptoms, Tests, and Treatments for Lateral Epicondylitis

Book excerpt: Tennis Elbow Pain can linger and be frustrating for anyone suffering from it. This condition can affect a person's daily activities, hobbies, and even their job. Many people are affected by Tennis Elbow, and in my experience as a board certified Doctor of Physical Therapy, I have seen patients confused and unsure of how to go about the recovery process. Therefore, my goal with this publication is to educate people who are suffering from Tennis Elbow and help them get back to a pain free lifestyle. In my personal experience, people can often be treated through conservative management. However, it is imperative to perform the correct exercises at the right time. In this publication, I go over in detail of the examination process, treatment, and recovery process. The tests and treatments I have included are clinically proven in the research community and in my own personal clinical experience. I provide a systematic approach and show their appropriate progressions. For the tests and treatments talked about I also provide free supplemental videos on my YouTube Channel: Physical Therapy 101. This I have found to be an essential piece in the recovery process so that people perform their exercises effectively and correctly.Tennis Elbow Pain does not have to linger for months, it can be treated effectively with conservative management. With correct treatment, people can return to their daily lives effectively and also prevent it from recurring.
