Editorial Review:

Aids in the relief of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tennis Elbow pain without cutting off circulation.
Uses selective pressure to turn the natural action of the forearm into a pump.

Simple to apply and it works in a completely new and unique manner.

Good for Tennis Elbow

I've looked all over for some good treatments for tennis elbow and came across the book Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow. In it, the book recommends using one of these forearm bands, also known as counterforce braces. Apparently they don't know exactly how these things help decrease tennis elbow pain, but they work. The current theory is that tennis elbow is a problem with the tendon of one of your forearm muscles. Putting this brace near the tendon takes pressure off the tendon, giving it a chance to heal.

Now the first problem you might imagine you'd have is one of comfort. These things have to be on snug to take pressure off the forearm tendon or they're useless. Of course more pressure usually means LESS comfort. That's where this little baby comes in- its designed to get around the issues of cutting off your circulation.

The way I see it, forearm bands can't help you if you can't wear them. So if you've tried other bands, give this one a shot- it's well worth it (but keep up the exercises too).

Contact allergic reaction to this product

Not sure what material is in this, but I developed red welts where the plastic touched my skin through movement after wearing it for only a couple hours. It functioned well in creating a point for the muscles to push against, absorbing some of the movement that would have gone back to the tendons at the elbow. But as others have noted, it doesn't give, so in some movements it was too tight, and loosening it made it ineffective in other movements.

But the allergic reaction is something I've never had to plastics before.

And the velcro strap is quite scratchy.

So the design may be good, but the materials used are bad.
