Still Resting Your Tennis Elbow?... Why Rest Often Means “Rust”

Is rest really of any use in the treatment of your Tennis Elbow?

You'll typically hear how important it is to rest it as much as possible "While it heals" - Or so they say...

Hopefully before you waste several months resting only to find yourself no better off!
