WHY SHOULD I WEAR AN ELBOW BRACE DURING WEIGHTLIFTING?

 

The elbow joint can be subjected to a lot of stress and strain by weight trainers and physically active people.

A Bauerfeind elbow brace and support both protects and helps with treatment and recovery through enhanced stability, proprioception and medical-grade compression.

Bauerfeind elbow braces also help to promote blood flow with the use of our 3D woven medical grade compression, something not found when using simple neoprene sleeves and braces.

A good elbow brace when lifting weights is the EpiTrain elbow brace, which supports and relieves elbow pain.

We recommend the Sports Elbow Support if you are looking for additional support around the elbow area and an elbow compression sleeve that can protect your elbow from injuries.

The compression strengthens the joint’s sensorimotor perception, enhancing movement and improving communication between the muscles and the brain. 

Protect your elbow joints when benching, pushing and pulling through multiple reps without injury.

    SHOULD I SEE A DOCTOR ABOUT ELBOW PAIN WHEN WEIGHTLIFTING?

    Weightlifting can stress your arms and shoulders. If you have elbow pain that lasts more than a few days, stop exercising immediately and consult a doctor.


    HOW TO TREAT A WEIGHTLIFTING ELBOW INJURY?

    We recommend visiting a physiotherapist for treatment and advice on treating common tennis elbow injuries. They may recommend the following treatments.
    • Tendinitis. Rarely does this condition require surgery. It can generally be treated using a combination of anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) and exercise. A corticosteroid injection may also be used.
    • Tennis Elbow. Tennis elbow can usually be treated with exercise, physical therapy, and medications such as ibuprofen.

    Play it safe: Consult a doctor if you experience unusually intense and persistent tendonitis pain.
