Brief Summary: There is more and more evidence of the importance of the role of kinesitherapy in the management of epicondylitis, specifically (but not exclusively) of eccentric exercise. Since eccentric kinesitherapy, when applied in a systematic way by a physiotherapist, consumes time and human resources in a significant way, and in the case of such a prevalent pathology, it is frequent that strategies of training the patient are addressed so that this is who perform the exercises after learning them. However, it is not proven that the efficacy and safety of this approach is equivalent to treatment applied by a physiotherapist.

A randomized single-blind controlled trial is conducted that compares both treatment approaches for epicondylitis (eccentric exercises applied directly by a physiotherapist for 10 sessions, and eccentric exercises applied by the patient during the same time) in terms of efficacy against pain, functionality and patient satisfaction, all this within the framework of the public health system.
Detailed Description: The main objective of this study is:

To compare the efficacy of an eccentric exercise program applied to patients with epicondylosis by a structured manual program in ten sessions and by an illustrated booklet.

The specific objectives of this study are:

Compare the effectiveness of the above-cited approaches in terms of pain Compare the effectiveness of the above-cited approaches in terms of function Compare the effectiveness of the above-cited approaches in terms of satisfaction
