After battling tennis elbow for 6 months and finally starting physical therapy for it, I decided to get a brace to take pressure off the muscle group. I bought this and the Band-It XM magnetic brace. The gel pad in this extends beyond the strap and hits the bend of my arm, making it quite uncomfortable. The Band-It, on the other hand, feels much better, works simultaneously on lateral AND medial epicondylitis, and is easier to adjust.

this tennis elbow band has a small pillow that I can heat or make cold and it also is fluffy enough not to bind on the part that hurts. I am using it for tendon inflammation and where I place it helps put enough pressure that it does not hurt. I would not recommend cheaper ones without the pillow.

I was disappointed. The gel pack doesn't get very cold and it doesn't stay cold very long. I would not recommend this product.

I use this mainly for racquetball, and I only have to replace it once every year or two when the velcro wears out. It stays on securely when I perspire, and gives good support. It is not a guarantee that your tendon will not inflame from overuse, but it is a good preventive measure. I will buy it again.

Reviewed seller once, as soon as I received the product. Seller was a fast shipper. Have not had the occassion to use product as of yet (Thank God) so I can't review it.
