Bionix Tennis Elbow Support Brace with Compression Pad - Pain Relief and Support for Golfer's and Tennis Elbow Braces, Epicondylitis Clasp, Tendonitis. Excellent Fit and Weather Resistance

My hopes were not high for this product (having tried an elbow brace to no effect), but being desperate for pain relief, I thought I’d give it a go. I’m really glad I did! Just adding pressure to the outside of the lower arm as recommended made an instant difference. Straight away, I had greater pain free movement. I’ve also found that after three days of use (and I’m using it only when I’m actively using the elbow and removing it when at rest), I’m finding a general improvement in my elbow as a whole. I can’t swear that the overall improvement is down to the pressure band, but I’m guessing that a lessening of stress on the muscle might be helping provide extra healing time (......but I’m not a doctor or physio, so can only report my personal experience!).The product feels well constructed and is comfortable to wear (as long as it’s not over tightened!). I found only light pressure was required to make a difference.If i had to find a fault, I’d say it is quite bulky (I measured approx 1.75cm at the thickest part of the pressure pad), so wouldn’t be so easily hidden under tight fitting sleeves. It could however be worn over them.Worth giving it a go for the price.

It has helped with the pain but there is not enough ‘grip’ in the strapping area when you affix the strap with the Velcro. Having said that I would buy again. It was very reasonably priced AND it works.

Easy to wear strap, I sometimes wear it all day at times and forget about it. Easy to wear under long sleeve shirt at work.Get 2 of those as you can wear the second one when the other one dries after washing, which is easy by hand.I used for about 1 month so far and it clearly reduces discomfort usefully. However, be under no illusion that this makes it heal faster, it just reduces discomfort while recovery takes place. You still have to do all your other exercises like stretching and straightening to facilitate recovery.Important is to apply it exactly on the right spot. There is no instruction leaflet but plenty generic information is available online how to position such a strap correctly.PS: I am a medical professional, knowledgeable in this field and happy with the product.

I use these to alleviate the pain from golfers elbow which I picked up from rowing, and for me whilst rowing and using weights they work.They last me about a year, which for the price is OK, and I would have given it 5 stars but this current one is lacking in quality compared to the others from the same brand I've had over the years.I usually end up swapping them out because the securing strap has stretched too far and the Velcro can't operate due to overlapping the other side, this takes around a year to get that kind of stretch.This new one, the strap ends nearly touch from new, so I don't see it lasting a couple of months, if this is the case I'll try a different brand.Another oddity, this came in packaging which bore the FCC mark and a WEEE wheelie bin symbol, clearly this is not an electronic device so it shouldn't have these. It also bears a CE mark, which could suggest they are claiming this as a medical device, but I highly doubt that given the other spurious markings.

This item is well made and sturdy. Cuts in a bit when worn for long periods, but I think that they all would after a time. Will fit most people as it is really adjustable. Would recommend this item.

Came on time, works great, great for pain relief and fits my arms and I have wide arms

Bought to relieve tennis elbow.Takes a little experimentation to get position and pressure right.It gives slight pain relief which is better than nothing.It increases strength of grip noticeably.Stays in place and is fairly comfortable to wear for long periods but can get a little sweaty.However it is washable.It is made from 35% nylon 65% rubber - not neoprene as advertised.No big deal unless your are allergic to rubber or latex.For 6 quid you have little to lose in trying this out.

Most similar products probably come from the same factory and so this design, with the shaped pressure pad I believe to be the most effective. And so the extremely modest price this supplier charges makes them a very good choice. At a national chemist group a single similar item was priced at £17.95 for just one. [Sorry High Street retailer] I have been using it (them! as I bought the 2 at offer price ) and it does help reduce the movement of the muscles affected by my tennis elbow condition. As postman I cannot stop using the arm to rest it as much as one should, and so it's use is very welcome. The pressure applied at the point of contact lessens the tension transmitted through the muscles to the ligaments attaching them to the bone at the elbow. Remember that similar symptoms can present, for rheumatism, which would require quite different treatment. Check with your doctor.
