The orthosis comprises a pad 12 of sufficient size to fit distally to the lateral or medial epicondyle of the wearer, without at the same time encompassing the arm of the wearer, and two or more straps 20, 22 attached to the pad. The straps are of sufficient length to be wrapped around the arm and have hook and loop means at their remote ends 24, 26 for releasable attachment to at least one of the straps and/or the pad. The straps may be wrapped around the arm on either side of the elbow to provide compression to both the insertion of the forearm extensors and flexors and the origin of the wrist extensors and flexors. The orthosis is useful in the treatment of tennis elbow, medial epicondylitis or triceps strain. <IMAGE>
