FULL REVIEW : TOP 3 TENNIS ELBOW COMPRESSION BANDS ON AMAZON

December 4, 2021November 3, 2023 LoveSetMatch 0 Comments

Tennis Elbow is one of the most common problems for recreational player.  It has
a sigma of someone who doesn’t hit the ball with the correct technique and
shames people into not treating it correctly.  Put simply Tennis Elbow is an
overuse injury created by repetitive motion.  While there may be better ways to
hit a nail with a hammer, the is little doubt that the injury occurs due to
overuse and not technique.  Many recreational players develop it because their
muscles are not ready and they are unprepared for the thousands of repetitive
shocks that one receives when hitting something whether it is a ball, nail,
keystroke on a keyboard and so on.  It’s sad to see people on court looked down
on for injury.  Hopefully this article will provide some insights on how to deal
with the pain.

What we can provide is some real world anecdotal experience from tennis elbow
injury and racquet technology.

 

We previously published a list of racquets that we believe to be softer on the
arm so please reach that article here:


https://lovesetmatch.net/blog/the-best-options-for-tennis-players-suffering-from-pain-tennis-elbow-wrist-shoulder-injuries/

Here is a definition from the MAYO Clinic website

“Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is a painful condition that occurs when
tendons in your elbow are overloaded, usually by repetitive motions of the wrist
and arm.  Despite its name, athletes aren’t the only people who develop tennis
elbow. People whose jobs feature the types of motions that can lead to tennis
elbow include plumbers, painters, carpenters and butchers.  The pain of tennis
elbow occurs primarily where the tendons of your forearm muscles attach to a
bony bump on the outside of your elbow. Pain can also spread into your forearm
and wrist.  Rest and over-the-counter pain relievers often help relieve tennis
elbow. If conservative treatments don’t help or if symptoms are disabling, your
doctor might suggest surgery.”

One of the best ways to reduce the pain of Tennis Elbow is to create counter
pressure on the muscle belly of the forearm thereby reducing the strain on the
tendon in pain.  If you have this injury, when you visit your physical therapist
or doctor they will provide you with an elbow brace to do just that.

 



Recently I was provided with a free sample of the SenTEQ Elbow Brace Support
Strap to try and review.  Although they did provide the strap for free, this is
not a paid review and my opinions are my own.  I have tried several straps in my
journey to heal tennis elbow.  Here are a few samples of the ones that are most
popular on amazon.

 



Bodyprox Elbow Brace 2 Pack for Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow

 



OTC Band-It, Forearm Band, Compression Strap, White

 

When searching Amazon for Elbow braces the choices can be overwhelming.  We can
break it down into one strap, two strap, or three strap compression bands.  In
my opinion, a tennis player might be inhibited by an elbow brace that has more
than two strap attachment to the arm.  With the idea of compressing the forearm
muscle, one pressure point will do.  I have had a lot of experience with the
BandIT forearm band and while it does seem to work very well and have a solid
compression action, the design of holding the straps with medal studs eventually
breaks or the velco tears off the the stud leaving it useless.  Perhaps this
only happens to power users that use it daily but it seems that would be the
purpose no?  I like the wide compression pad which seems to engulf the arm but
perhaps this might be a bit much for those you who have thinner arms?  Many
players have also complained that the velco being so thin can actually bit into
the skin of the arm and so a few players wear them over a long sleeve shirt to
avoid the inch and bite of the velcro strap.

 

The Bodyprox product and many bands like it seem to be a bit small for the
compression contact.  I have tried a few of these types and always find myself
readjusting them as the sweat of tennis play loosens the connection and moves
the band around.  With such a small surface area, it lacks the gripping power of
the BandIT.  While it is quite a bit cheaper in price, you get a lot less
material coverage and perhaps less compression on the full muscle.  I would
think that especially for those larger forearm players, this kind of very small
band might be lacking.

 

The Senteq band is a nice marriage of both compression and size.  This band
covers more area than the BandIT and actually wraps your whole forearm in
compression without being overly uncomfortable.  The compression pad is a slight
bit smaller than the BandIT but perhaps makes up in size with the full wrap
around the muscle.  The Senteq has a two strap method of attachment which does
make it a little slower to put one especially if one is rushing between points
but once in place feels the most secure of the three.  There is one velco
attachment to close the loop around the arm and a second velcro attachment that
wraps around the first loop which gives it the added pressure.  It’s not as easy
to apply with one hand and I found myself needing to slip on the first loop,
then reset and tighten the loop, then strap the loop on.  Once on it does feel
quite a bit more secure than the other bands.  I am not sure if medically the
point of the band is pin point pressure on the muscle belly or just a general
compression of the arm.  For pin point pressure the BandIT and Bodyprox have a
thicker more solid foam block which makes it feel slightly more exact where the
pressure is being applied.  The Senteq does have a foam pad but it is more jelly
like and not as direct.  The full arm design does provide quite a bit of
compression throughout the length of the band which can be increased by
tightening the velco.  The profile of the Senteq is quite slim and not much more
bulking than the BandIT although it does cover a full circle around your arm
with material.  The material seems well made with little chance of tearing or
falling apart like the BandIT did for me.



 

In all I enjoy the Senteq band quite a bit and look forward to wearing it over a
long period of time to see how well it holds up through the months.  I hope to
do an update at 6 months and report back on how it has lasted.  This band holds
at 4.3 out of 5 stars rating on amazon with 5,149 global ratings at current time
of writing.  Being one of the most highly rated tennis elbow compression bands
does give me a good deal of confidence that this band will provide the support
and tennis elbow prevention needed.



 

I would love to hear from you on products you have tried or physical therapist
recommendations you have received.  Please send us an email to
