Why is it important?

No prior study examines the effects of intervening at the shoulder for tennis elbow symptoms

Perspectives

We feel this work challenges the common thinking and common focus of treating locally. In some cases we believe the answer to treatment lies proximally to fix failing distal compensatory patterns / conditions.
