Mueller Hg80 Tennis Elbow Brace, Black, 1-Count Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought two of these straps to protect my elbows during bodyweight exercises like push-ups and pull-ups.I have had problems with tennis elbow in the past and have used a strap made by Hely & Weber (Mattstrap).The Mattstrap is made of neoprene, so it expands as your forearms expand during resistance exercise.These Mueller straps, however, are rigid and do not expand.This has the effect of compressing against your entire forearm.Also, the pad is very thin compared to the Mattstrap.I am returning the Mueller straps even though I'll have to absorb all shipping costs and pay a 20% restocking fee.They are useless for what I need them for.Maybe they work for activities like tennis; I don't know.Honestly,I am baffled by the high ratings they have received here.My advice is to get the Mattstrap tennis elbow strap instead.I found them through a google search and have already ordered two of them to replace these useless straps by Mueller.

Thera-Band Flexbar Hand Exerciser - Tennis Elbow Relief Bar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Most people probably haven't ever heard of eccentric exercise, which is the type of exercise these bars provide. Eccentric, or "negatives" as bodybuilders call them, are basically the lowering portion of an exercise. For instance, if you lift a weight over your head and lower it, the lifting is the "concentric" part, and the lowering of the weight is the "eccentric" part.

Without a doubt, this is one interesting tool you can use that will provide eccentric exercise for your wrist muscles. So what's the big deal with eccentrics? Well, there have been studies showing that when people with tendonitis conditions do just the eccentric part of an exercise, they get better. Problem is, there are tennis elbow studies specifically showing that if you do just the concentric (or lifting part) only, you get better too (Martinez-Silvestrini 2005). Therefore, eccentric exercise, as this tool most surely provides, will help tendonitis, but its far from a "magic" cure, and you can achieve the same results as doing "concentrics" with a light dumbbell.

Perhaps more importantly though, people with tennis elbow need to know that resistance exercise is just ONE part of what you need to be doing to totally get rid of your tennis elbow.

Studies on tennis elbow and eccentric exercise, such as the one I quoted above, had patients ALSO do stretching exercises and I know of no studies that have had people with tennis elbow do just eccentric exercise alone and they've gotten better. Therefore, suggest people with tennis elbow check out this tool, as well as books like Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow for a well-rounded program. Good luck.
