The answer depends on your injury. The more severe it is, the longer you may benefit from wearing a forearm brace for the tennis elbow. You’ll most likely need to wear it for at least a few weeks.

Your physical therapist can help you get the right fit and recommend the best length of time for your situation.

Good posture: Bad posture puts your spine and shoulders in poor alignment, which can lead to the development of conditions like tennis elbow. If you’re experiencing tennis elbow symptoms, it’s important to address them quickly. (Ironically, a lot of amateur tennis get golfer elbow instead of tennis elbow.
