Tennis elbow is a chronic condition that can be challenging to treat. Physiotherapy is often a treatment of choice, but previous reviews have failed to draw any conclusions as to which is the most effective therapeutic modality in the management of this condition.
Key messages of this review
The best available evidence is for active exercise approaches, possibly supplemented by manual therapy and taping treatments. There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of passive modalities such as electrotherapy or acupuncture at present. Physiotherapy is a cost effective form of treatment.
