Ten tips to get the most effective use out of your tennis elbow brace (Part 2)
This is part 2 of the blog on Ten tips to get the most effective use out of your tennis elbow brace. If you missed it read Part 1 HERE.

In part 1 we discussed how a brace helps to heal your Tennis Elbow followed by four (out of ten) tips to get the most effective use out of your brace. Here, in part 2 of this blog, we will discuss the remaining six (out of ten) tips to get the most effective use out of your brace. 

#5.Do not sleep on the affected side, keeping it rested in a neutral position besides you. This can be done by keeping your forearm on a pillow next to you. 

#6.Use a cold pack before you go to bed to ease off the inflammation in and around your outer elbow and forearm muscles. 

#7. You can wear a tennis elbow brace while working out, if you have a history of tennis elbow in the past or are currently suffering from one. 

#8.Wearing a brace can also helps if you are lifting heavy weights in the gym for prevention of this condition.

#9.Most braces come with straps that are quite helpful for additional support on the area. They are also helpful if you have a swelling or muscle spasm when you purchase the brace. Once the swelling gradually subsides and your forearm come back to their original girth the straps are helpful in maintaining the snug fit of the brace. 

#10.Elbow braces tend to be lightweight. However, some can be heavier than others. Wear the brace before you buy it to ensure that your forearm can take this weight and you know what to expect.
 
Tennis elbow braces are highly effective in relieving pain and discomfort when worn well keeping all these tips in mind. However, as the pain reduces you should try and wean off the brace gradually. This helps your muscles take over the function of supporting your forearm in daily activities. It is easier to wean off once you have started doing strengthening exercises as a part of your rehab process. If you are dependent on the brace in the long term, the muscles tend to stay weak and there are chances of the tennis elbow getting chronic.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.



My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.
And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.
Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!
xx Swati
