ARM

Bicep/Tricep Cuff: The bicep is the strong muscle in the front of the upper arm that flexes the forearm.

The bicep is particularly susceptible to overuse injuries, especially in individuals performing repetitive lifting activities. It is connected to the shoulder by a long tendon that passes through a groove in the upper arm bone (humerus). The bicep tendon, in turn, is held in the humerus by a ligament. If this ligament becomes injured or stretched, the tendon is not held firmly in place and it slides in the groove causing severe discomfort and pain and, in some cases, leads to bicipital tendinitis. Other causes of pain and discomfort may include poor lifting techniques and conditioning.

Tendinosis is another bicep problem and is caused by repetitive elbow flexion against resistance at the distal portion of the biceps at the elbow.

The triceps is the strong muscle at the back of the upper arm. It, too, is susceptible to injury. Tricipital tendinitis can develop at the triceps insertion in the elbow (olecronon) and can be caused by overuse and repetitive resisted elbow extension.

The Bicep/Triceps Cuff applies dynamic circumference pressure to the upper and lower portions of the bicep and triceps muscles. This action spreads out the stress and direct pull on the muscle attachments which helps (1.) to reduce the likelihood of developing bicipital tendinitis/tendinosis or tricipital tendinitis (2.) to ease existing bicep/triceps’ pain and discomfort.

Elbow Compression Sleeve: Use our compression sleeves for support and protection on the field, at home, or during normal activities.

The Elbow Compression Sleeve combines warmth, compression, and reinforcement to help reduce pain and discomfort and promote healing. The elbow sleeve is anatomically contoured for maximum fit, comfort, and effectiveness to help support injuries, improve blood circulation, and maintain body warmth. And it is available in four sizes to provide even more specific and effectual results!

Golfer's Elbow Support: Golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis is a common injury to individuals engaged in activities that apply stress to the forearm.

Golfer's elbow is characterized by pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow where the tendons of the forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of the elbow (medial epicondyle). The inflammation usually results from small tears to the tendon fibers that attach the muscles of the forearm to the arm bone. This often occurs because of excessive strain or overuse from activities that require repetitive and vigorous use of the forearm muscles that are responsible for extending and lifting the wrist and hand. Typically, the pain will exist at the top of the forearm just below the elbow however it can also extend along the inner side of the forearm and to the wrist.

The Golfer’s Elbow Support applies sufficient pressure to the upper forearm to help stabilize the forearm muscle group. This action minimizes stress on the muscles and tendons, helps alleviate pain and discomfort, and assists in healing. Golfers – and others involved in strenuous and repetitive activities involving the forearm – will find wearing the support can provide considerable protection or relief from the pain caused by golfer’s elbow and other overuse syndromes effecting the forearm muscles and tendons.

Hand & Wrist Compression Sleeve: Use our compression sleeves for support and protection on the field, at home, or during normal activities.

The Hand and Wrist Compression Sleeve combines warmth, compression, and reinforcement to help reduce pain and discomfort and promote healing. The sleeve is anatomically contoured for maximum fit, comfort, and effectiveness to help support injuries, improve blood circulation, and maintain body warmth. And it is available in four sizes to provide even more specific and effectual results!

Tennis Elbow Splint is a compression device designed to secure and support forearm muscles that are over-exercised or strained during athletic, leisure, or work activities.

The splint has a unique, reinforced tongue comfortably molds to the forearm and fastens with closures. It works by absorbing and dispensing the pain-causing forces relieving stress on the forearm muscles and their attachments and reducing inflammation.

It is very effective in giving support to the forearm tendon and muscles during repetitive gripping in activities such as golf, bowling, baseball, tennis or racquetball, gardening or carpentry; activities where one repeatedly extends the arm and then applies force.

Upper Arm Strap is recommended for swimmers and other sports enthusiasts who may develop painful biciptal or triciptal tendonitis.

The strap, which is worn just above the bicep or tricep, acts as a compression device to prevent the pulling and tearing of tendon fibers.

The Upper Arm Strap was specifically designed to prevent painful “swimmer’s arm” but is now used in water and other sports activities where there is a possibility of developing biciptal or triciptal tendonitis.

Wrist Support diminishes stress or pressure incurred at the hand and wrist that could telescope up the forearm and lead to forearm tendonitis or tennis elbow.

It uses compression around the wrist to lessen the impact on the basic forearm muscle group at their junction in the wrist and hand.

The Wrist Support also eases discomfort caused by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and is widely praised by individuals who suffer from weak wrists.
