c. Use counterforce brace. The band is placed 2 fingerbreadths proximal to the painful area of the lateral epicondyle
d. Tennis players may reduce the racquet string tension, change the size of the grip (usually to a larger grip) and change to a better dampening racquet.
c. Use counterforce brace. The band is places 2 fingerbreadths proximal to the painful area of the lateral epicondyle
