New combo therapy shows promise for tennis elbow sufferers

This study looked at whether adding two hands-on therapies—mobilization with movement and active release technique—to standard care can better relieve tennis elbow pain and improve arm function. 44 adults with tennis elbow for at least 6 weeks took part. They received either the extra therapies plus standard care, or standard care alone, for 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the combination reduced pain and helped people use their arm more easily.
