Treatment for Epicondylitis
- Stretching is a very important part of your treatment.
- It is a way you can help yourself get better, however you may feel some pain or pulling.
- Remember stretching is passive and you should not contract the muscle on the side you
are stretching.
- Stretching should be done even after the pain has resolved especially before & after
activities.
- Full pain relief may take a long time and 6 months is not unusual.
