Treatment is usually soft tissue mobilisations, manipulations, acupuncture, taping and progressive strength training of the flexor muscles (muscles attached to bony point on the inside of the elbow lying on the front of the forearm) and grip retraining. Not as notorious as its counterpart, tennis elbow. It can easily resolve if treated early like any other overuse injury.
