The invention is for a brace for preventing or reducing muscular and nerve disorders in the region of the elbow such as tennis elbow. The brace comprises a sleeve adapted for fitting over a wearers arm with one end terminating above the wearers elbow and the other end terminating below the wearers elbow. The sleeve includes a cut-out section arranged to be located over an injured portion of the wearers elbow joint. The brace also includes a pad which supports the elbow and has an outer contour that avoids contact with the injured area of the wearers elbow. The pad also serves to isolate the wearers elbow from contact and pressure.
