- Is this sleeve a brace or a support?
- It is a compression sleeve, not a rigid brace. It adds warmth and light compression but has no straps or hinges to limit motion.
- How do I pick the right size?
- Measure around the elbow as the brand's size chart directs and match that to the size range. A sleeve that is too loose slides down; one too tight pinches.
- Can I wear it for arthritis or a sprain?
- It is intended for mild stiffness and light sprain support. For a significant injury or ongoing pain, get advice from a clinician first.
- Can I wear it under clothing?
- Yes. The thin knit profile is designed to sit under a shirt or training top without bulky straps showing.
- How should I wash it?
- Wash it by hand or on a gentle machine cycle and air dry to keep the knit's elasticity. Avoid high heat, which can shrink or degrade the fabric.
