Arm and elbow supports

When is it right to use arm and elbow protectors?

Elbow protectors are recommended for problems involving pain in the arm, such as tennis elbow, golf elbow or bursitis (inflammation of the bursa). These injuries are often caused by overuse, repetitive movements or trauma, and can affect the upper arm, forearm and the elbow joint itself. By using an arm and elbow protector, you can relieve pain, increase the stability of the joint and prevent it from getting worse. They can also help improve mobility and support the healing process in acute injuries or during rehabilitation after long-term conditions.

The benefits of using arm and elbow protectors

Arm and elbow protectors can provide many benefits, depending on the type and severity of the injury:

• Relieving pain in tennis elbow and golf elbow: These protectors provide effective relief of pain caused by inflammation and irritation of the elbow tendons.
  
• Arm and elbow compression and support: By providing support and stability, the protectors can help reduce pain in the arm, forearm and elbow.
  
• Muscle strain rehabilitation: If you have suffered from muscle inflammation in your upper arm or forearm, the right arm and elbow support can help provide compression and aid recovery.
  
• Bursitis and bursitis support: Elbow supports can help relieve pain and inflammation caused by bursitis in the elbow, reducing discomfort and facilitating movement.
  

Arm and elbow protectors also help stabilise and protect the arm under load, to prevent injuries from occurring or worsening.

Most common types of arm and elbow supports and their functions

Elbow supports

Elbow supports provide support and relief by providing light compression and stabilisation of the elbow. They are often suitable for milder conditions such as mouse arm, tennis elbow or golf elbow. By using elbow supports, pain can be relieved and mobility improved.

Tennis elbow brace

For tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), specialised protectors that offer compression and stability are recommended. These protectors are designed to reduce strain on the elbow tendons and relieve pain during movement. Tennis elbow protectors are also useful in the treatment of false tennis elbow.

Golf elbow brace

Golf elbow (medial epicondylitis) can be treated with specialised protectors that focus on providing support and relieving pain on the inside of the elbow. They help reduce discomfort and stabilise the elbow joint.

Elbow protectors for acute injuries

For acute injuries, such as swelling or fluid in the elbow, a stable arm and elbow protector with compression and support is the best choice. These protectors help reduce inflammation, relieve pressure and stabilise the arm during the healing process.
