Each person is bio-diverse, so your recovery and the absence of symptoms (tennis elbow) may or may not be permanent Especially if you developed the condition because of injury or play at too high a level. Tendon injuries (over-stretching or tears) can take a long time to heal, even after the pain has subsided. This is because there is only a small blood flow to the tendon to bring nutrients, etc. to heal. I would recommend visiting with your sports chiropractor about the activity that resulted in the condition and have them recommend a plan of care that works for you.

Most tennis elbow comes from over dominance in a flexed posture with the hands and forearms (keyboard) and then causes a weakness in the extensor muscles of the wrist and hand. So aggressively working the extensor muscles of the hand and wrist is the best way. There are not many good products at all for this however. The only one I recommend is the Theraband Flexbar.
Laser therapy works great in helping to get rid of the tennis elbow. We tape it up between treatments to help to take the stress off the affected tissues. If you have tennis elbow from playing a lot of tennis, then you may need to wear the physio tape during your tennis matches.
