 Idea good, velcro BAD Apr 16, 2009
By M. Argyle
"Terrapin Flyer"
This product would have been great, except for the use of unpadded velcro. Velcro all by itself has sharp, rough edges. Wrap some around any soft area on the body and tighten it down. Don't even have to tighten it a lot, a little will do. OK, now leave it for a half hour or more (your tolerance may vary). Eventually you will know you have velcro strapping on your arm, as it attempts to cut into your flesh. It won't cut, but that nice, thin, rough edge will become rather uncomfortable after a while.
The idea is great in my opinion. I've had luck with magnets for other aches & pains, and I liked how the main pad was built and how it dampened the tendon flex. The other pad has a tendency to rest on the inside of your arm and not allow total flexing of your arm.
I'm sending mine back. Traded discomfort and annoyance for some pain remediation. Not worth it. Going to look for something else.
Oh, by the way. If you buy this, or anything for that matter, from "Pro Therapy Supplies" they WILL charge you a 10% restocking fee and their cost to ship the product(s) to you, if you decide to return the item.

 Great relief for torn tendon Sep 14, 2009
By R. A. James
Diagnosed with a slightly torn tendon I was looking for a support that would allow me to continue playing as a drummer as well as golf on a weekly basis. I've tried a variety of straps but none of them provided the needed relief. This product definitely does the trick. It's easy to put on and wear, in fact you can leave it on all day without any discomfort. The only issue I have with it is that if you're in hot/humid conditions the pads tend to get very wet, something that can be remedied by placing a small cloth under the pads. Other than that it works wonderfully.

 Not completely happy Jun 12, 2008
By Lee A. Temple
Product is adequate, and does seem to draw heat/blood to the area. However, wearing as loose as possible without it moving around as instructions suggest offers no benefit. Tighter and it is like a tournique. I have been unable to find a comfortable compromise. I would try a gel base product for compression without cutting circulation.

BandIt tennis elbow relief Aug 30, 2010
By R. Denlinger
"starting thoroughbreds gently"
I bought this after loading/moving several hundred square-bales of hay for the horses. I could nearly lift and rotate inwards my arm after all this ... using the BandIt device relieves most, but not all, the pain when I am forced to use the same motions again .. over about ten days, the pain subsided enough and I didn't need the BandIT-XM any longer. ... for example. it was nearly impossible to sit at the computer and even lay my right arm on the desk .. but with that clever BandIT, I could lay the arm there .. yes, there was still some pain , but I was able to manage it for twenty minutes without moving the arm back down .... whereas before the BandIT, I simply wasn't possible to lay the arm up there.
Make sure you use it below the elbow-crease in the arm .. and don't tighten it up so much that oyu are in pain form that. "Fairly" tight works. Take it off every so often. I did about once an hour for ten minutes. Don't leave it on over-night or when sleeping. But that makes sense, doesn't it?
Careful who you order it from. I tried some other Amazon seller and, after a month, it was not here. Then I tried " The Therapy Connection at HPMS, Inc." and it arrived in three days.

Band-it, Ice, Elevation and NSAID's Dec 20, 2009
By BMax
This is by far the best product of its type. The model w/o the magnets is fine also, but I bought this because of the black color. The gold trim is a little bling-ish, but can be removed with a little nail polish remover (acetone) and a Q-tip. Excellent durability and washability along with non-constricting pressure in the right place - not a total tournaquet(yea, spell-check it!) like the others!!
