Tennis Elbow Strap for Tennis Elbow and Golfer’s Elbow Pain
The Sydney Physio Clinic Tennis Elbow Strap has been carefully selected by our physiotherapists to provide comfortable counterforce support for people managing tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia), golfer’s elbow and forearm tendinopathy. By applying gentle pressure over the forearm muscles, the strap helps reduce strain on the injured tendon during gripping, lifting and repetitive activities.
Physiotherapist Recommendation: This is our preferred counterforce strap for most patients because it provides comfortable compression, is simple to adjust and offers excellent everyday value while allowing you to continue working, training and completing daily activities.
Why Choose Our Tennis Elbow Strap?

How Does a Tennis Elbow Strap Work?
Counterforce straps work by applying gentle pressure over the forearm muscle belly rather than directly over the painful tendon attachment. This helps reduce the load transferred to the injured tendon during gripping, lifting and repetitive activities, often allowing people to perform everyday tasks with less discomfort.
The integrated EVA compression pad delivers consistent, targeted pressure while remaining comfortable throughout the day.
Research Supports Counterforce Bracing
Research suggests counterforce straps may reduce pain during gripping activities and improve pain-free grip strength when used alongside progressive strengthening exercises and activity modification. They are most effective as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme rather than as a standalone treatment.
How to Wear Your Tennis Elbow Strap
- Position the strap approximately 2–5 cm below the outside of the elbow over the forearm muscle belly.
- Tighten until comfortably snug without causing numbness, tingling or changes in skin colour.
- Wear during activities that normally aggravate your symptoms.
- Remove if discomfort increases or skin irritation develops.
- Combine with a progressive strengthening programme for best long-term results.
