What does a tennis elbow strap do?

It wraps around the upper forearm just below the elbow and presses on the tendon, which reduces the pull on the attachment point during gripping and lifting. It is meant to ease pain during recovery, not to cure the condition on its own.

How tight should I wear it?

Snug but not painfully tight. You should still be able to feel your fingers and move your hand normally. Loosen it if you feel numbness, tingling or throbbing.

Is this the same as an elbow sleeve?

No. A sleeve covers the whole elbow and gives broad compression and warmth. This strap gives focused pressure on one spot and leaves the rest of the arm free.

How do I choose the size?

Match the size in the product title to your forearm measurement or to a brace you already use. If you are between sizes, ask your clinician or the seller before ordering.

Can I wear it all day?

Many people wear a strap during activity and remove it at rest. Follow your clinician's advice on wear time, especially if you have circulation problems.

Does it treat tennis elbow?

It supports the arm while the tendon heals. Recovery usually also involves rest from the aggravating activity, stretching and strengthening exercises, and a clinician's guidance.
