Best option is to stop/minimize doing whatever hurt it while simultaneously getting stronger slowly and progressively. Those therabands seem like a good option, but I do reverse wrist curls. Personally, I also respond well to acupuncture with e-stim and deep friction massage weekly or biweekly while I'm progressively loading the tendon. That combo has worked the best for me, so far.
PRP or shockwave therapy seem like good options for very stubborn and chronic bouts of tendonitis after you've exhausted more conservative approaches. No experience iwth shockwave therapy, and it seems hard to find docs in the US who do it.
