Elbow & Forearm Supports NZ

Elbow and forearm supports are designed to provide targeted compression and stabilisation for the muscles, tendons and joints of the arm. These braces are commonly used for conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, repetitive strain injuries, tendon irritation and soft tissue injuries.

At Allied Medical, our range includes elbow braces, forearm straps and compression supports that help reduce stress on affected tendons while supporting comfortable movement throughout the day.

Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow Braces

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and golfer's elbow (medial epicondylitis) are common conditions caused by repetitive use of the forearm muscles and tendons. Symptoms can include pain, tenderness and reduced grip strength.

Tennis elbow braces and forearm straps work by applying targeted pressure to the forearm muscles, helping reduce strain on the tendon attachment points around the elbow. These supports are commonly used by tradespeople, office workers, sports participants and anyone performing repetitive arm movements.

Compression and Everyday Support

Compression elbow supports provide gentle support while allowing a greater range of motion than rigid braces. They may be suitable for mild injuries, joint discomfort, tendon irritation or individuals looking for additional support during work, exercise or daily activities.

Many elbow and forearm supports are lightweight, breathable and designed for comfortable all-day wear under clothing.

Choosing the Right Elbow Support

Selecting the right elbow brace depends on the condition being managed and the level of support required.

When choosing an elbow or forearm support, consider:

  • Whether the issue involves tennis elbow or golfer's elbow
  • The level of compression or stabilisation needed
  • Comfort during daily activities
  • Sizing and fit requirements
  • Whether the support will be worn during sport, work or recovery

A healthcare professional, physiotherapist or occupational therapist can provide guidance if you are unsure which support is most appropriate.

Features of Modern Elbow Braces

Many modern elbow supports include features such as:

  • Adjustable compression systems
  • Lightweight, breathable materials
  • Anatomically shaped designs
  • Low-profile construction for discreet wear
  • Targeted pressure pads for tendon support
  • Comfortable all-day fit

These features help improve comfort while maintaining effective support throughout everyday activities.

What is tennis elbow?

Tennis elbow is a condition involving irritation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, often caused by repetitive gripping, lifting or wrist movements.

What is golfer's elbow?

Golfer's elbow affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow and is commonly associated with repetitive wrist and forearm movements.

Can an elbow brace help with tennis elbow?

Many elbow braces are specifically designed to provide targeted support for tennis elbow by reducing strain on affected tendons during movement.

What is a forearm strap?

A forearm strap is worn below the elbow and applies focused pressure to the forearm muscles to help reduce tendon loading around the elbow.

Are elbow supports suitable for work-related injuries?

Elbow and forearm braces are commonly used by people performing repetitive work tasks that place strain on the arm and elbow.
