This was recommended by my physio, and I swear by it...

I found those things give you a false sense of security, wore one for a couple of months and my tennis elbow just got worse and worse. A month off golf and lots of deep massage using Voltarol did the trick for me. There's also some helpful stretches you can do if you do a quick Google.

Yes, but if you must golf, then this helps greatly.

But it will never get better long term.
I've got one of those gathering dust. Didn't make any difference to me but it may work for you. I might even get it out again as mine is bad at the moment, maybe it will work better now. 3 years and counting for my tennis elbow

The first thing to do is find out what is causing this flare up.
Could be work or change in routine tasks
Strap on arm only isolates the problem
Long term excersices help but you need to find out what's causing it.

Bowen/Emmett therapy works for me when I've had it.

Yes.
I'm sitting here on my laptop with elbow pain.
I wear the brace for golf, at no point in a round am I aware of my tennis elbow nor wearing the band. Again I defer to my physio, he specifically said order this one, the one with two pads, the single pad version, nope, maybe that's what cc98 bought?
Regardless, it's not a cure, it's a temporary paracetamol, and you'll play golf like normal.

Look at the wrist turn exercise here...http://www.csp.org.uk/your-health/exercise-advice/tennis-elbow, but do it with a straight arm and use your good hand to help turn it a bit further. Hold for a few seconds at each rotation and repeat as often as possible.
Try these as well...https://www.gwh.nhs.uk/media/186178/tennis-elbow-exercises.pdf
It ain't ever gonna get better without rest, ice/anti inflammatory medication and training.

I got mine when I was re pointing the wall on the back garden, that set it off and it was purgatory. Eventually I was put on some exercises and I stuck at it. Eventually it went. A month later I got it in the left arm.
When I first went to the physio, to diagnose tennis elbow, she asked me to lay my arm on the worktop from elbow to hand palm down. She then asked me to try and lift my ring finger whilst she applied downward pressure. It was like someone had stuck a knife in my arm just below the elbow. If you move your ring finger you can feel the tendon moving just below the elbow that usually gets inflamed. Ibuprofen was my best friend for ages.
just had a look at the exercises Beezerk has posted and it was exercises very similar to those that helped me to get rid of.

Took about 3 weeks for me to swing properly. Took 3-4 months before I could lift weights etc though.
R.I.C.E is a good protocol. See a physio. Avoid hot baths

Popped a couple of Ibuprofen last night. MUCH better this morning. I'll have a good look at the excersises later. Cheers

Always worth a visit to the physio even if you have to pay for it. My physio diagnosed the exact reason for the pain (muscles not working in the correct order) gave me a series of exercises to do to get them working in the correct order problem solved in weeks.
I reckon without Ibruprofen or some other NSAID I would have had to give up golf 30 years ago. Virtually every guy I play with carries them in their golf bag,
Just make sure you religiously note the warnings about causing stomach ulcers and take after or with food.

Ha, well said Jim me man. Never realised that ibuprofen was in so many golf bags. I also carry them.
