MSLON Elastic Elbow Support - Lightweight Compression Sleeve

A sleeve for general aching, warmth and mild overuse across the joint. A counterforce strap - a narrow band below the elbow - for pain localised to the bony bump from gripping, which is tennis or golfer-s elbow. They work by different mechanisms and are not interchangeable.

Pain on the outside of the elbow from overloading the tendons that extend the wrist - and most people who get it have never played tennis. It comes from gripping and lifting with the wrist extended: tools, a mouse, a kettlebell, a racket. A support helps with the symptoms. What actually resolves it is loading the tendon progressively under guidance, which is why a physiotherapist is worth seeing if it is not settling.

No. A support manages symptoms - it adds compression, warmth and a constant reminder of where the joint is, and for some conditions it redistributes load away from a sore tendon. It does not repair tissue and it does not address why the injury happened. Persistent pain, swelling that will not settle, or a joint that gives way needs a doctor or a physiotherapist, not a longer-lasting brace.

Snug, not tight. You should be able to slide a finger under the edge. If the skin beyond it tingles, goes cold, changes colour or swells, it is too tight - take it off and re-fit it looser. A support that cuts off circulation does more harm than the problem it was bought for.

During the activity that provokes the symptoms, and not much beyond it. Wearing a support all day every day lets the muscles around the joint do less work, and weaker muscles mean a less stable joint over time. Use it to keep training while you fix the underlying problem, not instead of fixing it.

This is the light elastic version precisely for that reason. A thick neoprene brace is genuinely unbearable in a hot gym here, and a support that gets taken off is no support at all. This one is thin and breathable enough to stay on.

Measure the limb rather than guessing from your clothing size, and measure where the support will actually sit. Tell us the measurement and we will match it to the stock. A support one size too big does nothing at all, and one size too small restricts circulation.

Hand wash in cool water with a little mild soap, rinse well and dry flat in the shade - never in a machine on hot, never in a tumble dryer, and never in direct sun. Neoprene and elastic both perish with heat. Wash it often: in Dar es Salaam humidity a support worn twice and left in a bag starts to smell within days.
