About arm injuries.

Most injuries to the arm are in the elbow. The most common, more chronic conditions are tennis elbow and golf arm. Tennis elbow is the result of irritation of the wrist extensors, for example due to overarm lifting.

Golf arm is a similar condition affecting the elbow and results from irritation of the wrist flexors, for example due to underarm lifting.

For both of these common strain injuries, treatment involves pain killers, rehabilitation and prevention. This can include manual therapy, muscle training and local massage. Sometimes an injection can help to alleviate chronic irritation. Depending on your preferred sport it may be useful to support your elbow using a professional arm brace.

When to use a PSB arm brace

For a tennis elbow or a golf arm.

Unsuitable for:

No conditions are known which preclude wearing an arm brace. Pain should always be seen as a warning. In case of continuing pain or other symptoms for which there is no clear cause, you should always consult your GP, physiotherapist or sport therapist.

Special properties.

The PSB Arm Brace applies pressure to the muscles of the lower arm, taking the pressure off the tendons at the elbow joint. These tendons are at the exact spot where you feel the pain if you have a tennis or golf elbow.

One size only.

The PSB Arm Brace is available in a single universal size.

Easy fit.

1 Pull the end of the tape through the fastening ring.
2 Push the brace around your arm with the plastic ring on the outside, not in the hollow of your elbow. If you have a tennis elbow the pad (stiffener) must be on the outside of your arm and if you have a golf elbow it must be on the inside.
3 Place the brace against the muscles of your lower arm, about 6 cm under the elbow. (See illustration)
4 Fasten the tape so tightly that you feel pressure when you bend your arm and tense your muscles. You should not feel pressure or tightness when your arm is relaxed.

Easy wash.

The PSB Arm Brace is easy to care for and can be washed at up to 40 degrees C in the washing machine. Higher temperatures should be avoided, as they will damage the elastic materials. Use the supplied washing net and fasten all Velcro fasteners before washing.

Allow your PSB sport brace to dry naturally, i.e. not in the tumble dryer or on a radiator. You will extend the life of your brace if you allow it to dry after use. Never keep it stored in your sports bag.

Correct application.

Never fit your PSB Arm Brace so tightly that it impedes circulation. The best pressure is different for each individual and you can work it out for yourself during use.

Always wear the plastic ring on the outside of the elbow joint. If the ring is worn on the wrong side (inside), this can cause irritation to the inside of the elbow.
