 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.

Better than the others May 14, 2011
By Frank
I have used the other bands with the air bubble in it but this one is tougher, lasts longer and presses down better.

BandIT XM Apr 19, 2011
By DrWho
my pain cleared up over the first couple of days (after suffering for 2 months) of using this.
it has now been 3 months since i first got this and the pain does sometimes try to come back but i just put the arm band back on (intermitently) for a day and the pain goes away again
may not be pretty or even comfortable over long periods of wear - but it did what was promised, and gave me relief from the pain
