Aim: The primary aim of this study is to pilot the methods proposed to conduct a definite RCT study. Objectives: * Measure the process of recruitment. * Measure intervention adherence and acceptability. * Measure outcome measure retention rate and completeness. The Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) will be used as the primary outcome measure. Intervention: Patients will be randomised to either: 1) Heavy slow resistance training (HSR), 2) Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) or 3) Information and advice. Follow-up will be after 3 and 6 months.
