Brief Summary: The data from this preliminary study demonstrate positive changes in Visual Analog Scale, Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation, PFGS, WES and Wrist extensor Electromyography with application of the diamond taping with Deep Friction Massage and taping compared with the pre and post intervention. The improvement of pain was found in Taping with Deep Friction Massage group Visual Analog Scale (5.3 ± 1.25 to 1.4 ± 0.63, P =0.000), Taping group (5.2 ± 0.96 to 1.67 ± 0.50, P =0.010) and in Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation Taping group (31.63 ± 7.50 to 14.83 ± 5.60), Taping with Deep Friction Massage group (33.43 ± 8.03 to 12.3 ± 4.17 P =0.000). The increase in pain-free grip strength was Taping with Deep Friction Massage group (26.16 ± 10.70 to 30.24 ± 10.95, P =0.000), Taping group (21.87 ± 7.47 to 24.50 ± 7.70 P =0.000) and Wrist extensor strength was Taping with Deep Friction Massage group (83.94 ± 24.97 to 101.88 ± 27.59, P =0.000) and Taping group (85.19 ± 25.91 to 93.33 ± 26.80, P =0.000) and Wrist extensor Electromyography was Taping with Deep Friction Massage (61.25 ± 6.98 to 75.25 ± 19.03, P =0.010), Taping group (71.47 ± 8.19 to 76.77 ± 7.57, P =0.017).
