Abstract
Introduction: Lateral Elbow Pain (LEP) is a common painful condition affecting the working population, however, its aetiology and best treatments remain as yet unknown. Wrist extensor intratendinous modifications are commonly reported (Obuchowicz & Bonczar 2016), although changes in the innervation and vascularization of the fascial layers superficial to the tendon itself have been observed too (Spang & Alfredson 2017). Common treatment of LEP includes exercise therapy, targeting the wrist extensor’s tendinopathy (Cullinane et al 2014). Fascial Manipulation® (FM) is a manual method for the treatment of musculoskeletal painful conditions (Day et al 2009). Its purpose is to normalize restricted fascial gliding through deep friction over specific points of the deep fascia, thus restoring the physiological afference to the nervous system and the distribution of forces around the periarticular tissues. The objective of this research is to verify the efficacy of FM in addition to a program of eccentric exercise, compared with eccentric exercise only.
