Formfit® Tennis Elbow Support

The Formfit® Tennis Elbow Support is designed to manage golfers elbow or similar conditions.

Tennis elbow is characterised by pain centred on the inside of the elbow joint but despite the name suggesting otherwise is not just limited to tennis, but any repetitive task. Sufferers will normally experience pain around the bony point of the inside of the elbow, though this pain can travel further down the arm, with inflammation of the tendons resulting in the range of motion being compromised.

The condition itself is largely self-limiting though in extreme cases surgery may be required to repair the tendons. Timescales for a full recovery can be up to 2 years, which can impact on your game and why many of those diagnosed opt to wear a brace. Elbow supports such as the Formfit work by applying compression to the affected area, which can be adjusted accordingly depending on the level of pressure required. This compression works to manage inflammation and offers a degree of pain relief, allowing you to remain active for longer.

By managing an injury using a brace you are also minimising the risk of causing further damage but obviously it is important to know your limits when playing with an injury as the last thing you want is to make things worse.

The slim line nature of the brace also means it can be concealed easily and comfortably under clothing.

These styles of elbow braces can also be used to manage tennis elbow, simply by rotating the brace round so that the application of compression is focussed on the outside of the joint.

• Curved shape assures an optimised compression

Sizing is determined by taking the circumference measurement just below the elbow.
