- Does it help tennis elbow or golfer's elbow?
- It is designed for both. The pad presses on the forearm tendon just below the elbow, which is the usual target for these overuse injuries. It supports the area but does not treat the injury.
- How do I choose the size?
- Measure around your forearm just below the elbow and match it to the brand's size chart. The strap runs from XS to XL. A loose fit lets the pad slide off the tendon.
- Can I wear it on either arm?
- Yes. The strap is unisex and fits the left or right arm; you just rotate it so the pad sits on the sore side of the forearm.
- Can I wear it during sports and lifting?
- Yes, that is its main use. It is slim enough to wear under a sleeve and is built to stay put through sweaty activity. Loosen it between sessions.
- How is it different from an elbow sleeve?
- A sleeve compresses the whole joint and adds warmth. This strap applies focused pressure to one tendon and leaves the rest of the arm free, which many people prefer for active use.
- Should I wear it all day?
- No. Most users wear it during activity or flare-ups and take it off at rest. Prolonged tight wear can irritate the skin and the area.
