The Thermoskin Sport Tennis Elbow provides compression, support and warmth for weak or injured elbows during periods of increased activity. Tennis Elbow is a painful inflammation of the tendon on the lateral aspect of the elbow caused by the pull of the muscles, which extends to the wrist and fingers. Tennis Elbow effects 1-3% of people aged between 30 and 50, more commonly in men than women.
Tennis Elbow Supports are commonly utilised to provide protection, support and compression where forearm strain is an occupational hazard.
