Why are non-flat counterforce braces supposed to work?
Why are non-flat counterforce braces supposed to work, when used for a lateral or medial epicondylopathy?

I heard the following reasons:

they increase the blood circulation
they provide active release
they decrease the pressure that is put on the damaged part of the tendon, when flexor/extensor muscles are used

Which one(s) are correct,and is there any more reason why they would work?

By non-flat, I mean it has a bump, as illustrated below (image taken from smile.amazon.com/dp/B00QY0EFJM/):
