Abstract
Lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow is the major challenge, as it is difficult to treat, prone to recurrence and may last for several weeks or months. The present study was conducted on 40 subjects to find out the effectiveness of Mulligan’s Mobilization with Movement (MWM) technique and conventional physiotherapy in the treatment of Chronic Lateral Epicondylitis. We found that MWM technique is more beneficial than conventional physiotherapy alone in eliminating pain of previously painful active movements and the overall improvement in the condition.
