On a young person, you would not see a restriction in the flexibility of these muscles. Repeated stress, as we work and play, can cause these tissues to tighten up.
The ArmLock stretches the three muscles that attach to the outside of the elbow that causes Tennis Elbow.
The following conditions may be aggravated by the ArmLock:
1. Instability of the wrist
2. Arthritis of the fingers, wrist or elbow
3. *Recent onset of Tennis Elbow.
4. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
* Symptoms should exist for greater than 8 weeks.
Consult your physician prior to using this product.
The ArmLock device works by putting the muscles implicated in Tennis Elbow on a gentle, but prolonged stretch, essentially “pulling out” these tender areas. The stretch recommended is a half an hour a day. It may be a constant stretch, but several periods of 10 minutes work as well.
My elbow has been very sore for a long time. I have been using the brace for a little over two weeks using a heat pad wrapped around my elbow for 25 minutes then put on the brace for twenty minutes. When I take the brace off it feels a little tight but then I wrap it again with the heat pad for another twenty-five minutes and it is pain free. This is an excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone with elbow pain similar to mine.
Desperate to find a solution to early retirement at the age of 33 I found Armlock and I’m so glad I did. 20-30 minutes of stretching a day have made my job and my social life care-free again. The brace is comfortable and easy to put on. Gives mommy twenty minutes of downtime after a long day to stretch out tight muscles and recharge for the next day. Within days I found relief. It feels so good to stretch out years of overwork on my arms.
After one use of 20 minutes after an 8 hour shift (during which, due to the nature of ASL (American Sign Language) his wrists were often extended), he reported he was feeling much better. He rated his change in discomfort a 7/10 to a 1/10. During this trial and subsequently since, he took no pain meds or ice, and I didn’t do any massage or stretching. He used it again about a week later after another long 8 hour shift and he rated his pain reduction from a 6/10 to a 0/10.
Success hinges on four areas: improving access; reducing cost; increasing convenience, and simplifying the process.
Improving Access: The brace is your therapist. You do not have to drive to a clinic to have your therapist do this, who also would only do it for a minute or two, and even then only if they are appropriately trained to do so..
Cost: The cost of one physical therapy treatment equates to the cost of the brace, but you can use the brace over and over again.
Convenience: You can do this at home, no need to drive to a physio clinic. Stretch right after supper to do your therapy, while watching TV.
Simplifying the process. Direct shipping to you – you don’t have to leave the house. You direct the amount of tension that you’re comfortable with – not the therapist. You decide how long the treatment session will be, not the therapist.
