5. What is the mode of action of a Tennis Elbow Support?
Anyone who repeats the same arm movements every day can be suddenly overcome by sharp pain. The tissues are over-strained and become swollen and inflamed. The use of Tennis Elbow Support may improve function during daily activities in this case. The tendon pad offers perpendicular, straight-line targeted pressure (compression) both localised and distributed across the extensor muscle and tendon. The compression on the muscles prevents pulling on the pain location and distribute the load that is going through the muscle into the tendon to the surrounding tissues, thus providing relief.
6. Can I wash the Tennis Elbow Support?
Yes. All Elastoplast Supports are made with machine-washable materials. Here’s how to care for your support: For products with Velcro® straps, fasten them securely at the place provided on the support. Machine wash your support in cold/cool water (~30ºC) using the gentle or delicate cycle. Wash separately using laundry detergent with no additives (do not use fabric softener or Woolite, do not use bleach). Lay your support flat and let it air dry; do not put it in the dryer. Proper washing and drying helps your knit support maintain elasticity and original fit.
