Tennis elbow, known medically as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition causing pain on the outside of the elbow.Tennis elbow is usually the result of repetitive overuse of the muscles and tendons on the forearm, resulting in inflammation of the tendons in the elbow. specialist elbow brace is worn around the forearm to support the tendon whilst healing and when returning to activity. It works by applying compression around the upper arm and so changes the direction of forces through the tendon hopefully reducing the strain on the painful part of the tendon.
