it stabilizes the whole shoulder including the muscles. I've had trouble with rotator cuff and this product has enabled me to continue pitching and 49 years old

Not that much. It kind of gives me a reminder to don't over do the motions that might worsen the muscle, which was my rotator cuff. Hope that helps. :D

I don't believe the sleeve mechanism on this support is intended for compression. This sleeve component is really only used to support and stabilize the shoulder. I recommend using the compression sleeve if you require muscle support, while this shoulder support provide the ortho/ shoulder stability.

Hi, my husband used this daily. It helps to hold the tendon and relieve elbow pain. The neighbor is a golfer, bought one and he can tell the difference in his arm. Highly recommended

If by above the elbow you mean towards the tricept and bicept area, then I would have to say probably not. Its size and style only helps support the upper forearm or right below the elbow.

Yes, it stabilizes the neck area very sturdily. We are atill using ours after three years.

The tennis elbow compression sleeve will easily fit under a dress shirt. It's very thin. Even if you fold over the lower part to increase compression, it's still not any thicker than say a heavy flannel shirt at that point and thinner where not folded.

Can't say. I do yoga and pilates to keep my lower back stable. Haven't noticed any effect with the sleeves.

Melanie, I purchased this for my son who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and to help with the shoulder etc.. He is right handed pitcher. He says that it is for either arm as it is just a gel sleeve and has good luck with it since it does not freeze but is realy cold from the freezer. Could it be that you have the wrong size?

Yes. The problem I have is the elastic material isn't that elastic. I have in my opinion moderate size biceps and it cuts off my circulation after prolonged use. I hope this helps.

Yes. This works. It works better than the perfect because of the specified muscle group grips. It comes with workouts and dvd. I implement fuul upper body workouts with this one piece of equipment. Best thing about it is that its fun use! Buy it!

Yes. In my use of the Supra Curl Bar it appears to be designed precisely to permit the maintenance of a neutral wrist grip throughout the curl motion. I purchased the bar after using two similarly made attachments for the cable tower which use the same grips and rotational capabilities. In all cases hyper-extension and strain can be avoided and stress on the wrist is all but eliminated.

The sleeves work well except they are too tight on the upper arm. I fold the, over at the elbow.

I can't say if it will solve your problem (although I've heard compression sleeves work for Shin Splints), but I doubt it will be too much compression (assuming you get the sizing right). I thought the compression was on the light side.

I'm almost 66 years old and have loose skin under my upper arms, that I call Bat Wings. The muscle trainer is already showing some noticeable improvement in tightening up my arms and building muscles. So to answer your question, you start off on a low number for conditioning, but then there are many vibration levels even for conditioning. The higher the number the more you feel it. I am doing toning now and my muscles contract with the levels of the vibrations I am using. You can feel it through your whole arm, not just when the pads are placed. It can get deep and burn when you are really working it.

I have used it for arm use, although not as often as for the legs. It works very well when seated at a table (I use our kitchen table) that hits slightly above your waist. This provides excellent positioning for arm clearance. If your purpose is therapeutic, this is the perfect unit, as the resistance is adjustable and you can easily begin at very low resistance, if necessary. It is an excellent movement for encouraging lymphatic drainage in the arms, as well.

I have the medium. Seems to work well for me. I have Thorasic outlet syndrome with poor circulation in my right arm due to an accidental gun shot wound. I love to wear these things. Feels great! Oh, my moms name was Ginny!

My husband wears it on his right shoulder. He was involved in an accident 35 years ago and has lost the muscle tone. He was unable to lift his arm and it sags down. The brace kind of holds it in his shoulder socket.

I have a sleeve and I teach so it goes from my wrist over my bicept. Drifit material. Well worth the money by far. Way cheaper than any name brands I found.
