Get one that does not restrict your forearm muscles during contraction. Check also that the straps are easily to put on and removed.

Elbow Brace design and function
The first thing to look for when you are choosing a tennis elbow brace is the simplicity and practicality of its design and function. The main function of the brace is to provide a certain force or pressure to the forearm muscles so that they do not cause unnecessary pressure on the tendons. Make sure that this is the main thing it does.
Elbow Brace fitting
Please note that the elbow brace fits below the elbow, not around the elbow.

Another type of elbow brace is the “Elbow Heat Retainer Support”.
With this brace heat is used in addition to the support provided by the brace itself. The heat helps blood circulation in the areas affected and speeds up the healing process.
However, it is not good to use the heat or even just an elbow brace for a long time, as it could cause muscle wastage in the area. It should not be used simply to hide the pain. If this happens, rest the elbow for a while instead as it is probably being over-used at this point.
Whichever type of elbow brace is needed, if the pain persists it is always best to see a physician.

There are several reasons to wear an elbow brace. It is very important to have the correct elbow brace and to ensure it is worn in the proper way.
The most common use for an elbow brace is for tennis or golfer’s elbow. Also called an elbow clasp in this case, treating the tennis elbow requires the brace to be worn below the elbow, instead of directly on it. This will transfer the pressure from the elbow itself to the area directly under the brace. It should be worn while doing all activities for complete relief.
Whichever type of elbow brace is needed, if the pain persists it is always best to see a doctor.
