Abstract. Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow. The forearm muscles and tendons become damaged from overuse repeating the same motions again and again. This leads to pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. Rehabilitation programs do help reduce the pain.

Research aims: The aim of this research is to compare between myofascial Release and deep friction treatment; and determine the best treatment for reducing pain for Tennis elbow patients.

Methodology: This study used a double-blind experimental design with an alpha value of 5%. The study was conducted at the Clinic "Rumah Fisio." Based on randomisation technique, the sample was drawn from the list of patients who are diagnosed with Tennis elbow and undergoing physiotherapy from  December 2018 to March 2019. The pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

Research findings: The results of the t-test analysis showed that Myofascial Release was more faster than Deep Friction techniques in reducing pain for Tennis Elbow patients. The results of One-Way ANOVA showed that there was P(<0.05) in pain reduction produced by 4 frequencies of treatment. In contrast, there were significant differences in pain reduction produced by deep friction Techniques.

Theoretical implications: strengthen previous findings that myofascial release accelerates blood circulation at superficial myofascial level so it can reduce pain faster than deep friction on tennis elbow injuries

Practical implications: This study offers understanding on the best treatment that would help in reducing the tennis elbow pain.
