At this point, you might be asking yourself “what is a counterforce brace”? Good question! A counterforce brace is simply an elbow compression strap that wraps around the forearm and applies pressure just slightly below the site of your tennis/golf elbow pain. The extensor muscles in your forearm are attached at a small point on your upper arm bone (humerus) called the medial/lateral epicondyle. Tennis Elbow/Golfer’s Elbow occurs when repeated motions cause these extensor muscles to pull on the epicondyle, causing irritation over time. This strap works to compress the extensor muscles just below the epicondyle, moving the point of tension, preventing pulling on the medial/lateral epicondyle, and allowing it to heal comfortably!
