It depends…. The severity and causes of the tendonitis all have impact on treatment. Fascial guidance of the region through Ktaping, and manual therapy/ball rolling to resolve tissue restrictions are necessary precursors to strengthening of the tendon which ultimately is what leads to pain reduction. The elbow region needs a strong shoulder first and foremost. Localized strength needs to be consistent starting at a level that is ‘tolerated’ and gradually increased. Movement patterns that contribute to overuse need to be identified and changed. Whew!! You’ve got work to do!!
