Provide targeted stability and relief to your elbow joint with Elbow Supports from flipkin.com. Options include sleeves and straps suitable for managing lifting stress, sports impact, or tendon discomfort. Select the right support below.
The elbow joint is subjected to considerable force during pressing, pulling, and throwing activities common in strength and sports training. Overuse or heavy loading can lead to discomfort or conditions like epicondylitis. Elbow supports from flipkin.com are designed as specific Arm Support tools, offering compression, warmth, and mechanical reinforcement directly at the elbow complex. This can help manage pain during movement and provide joint confidence under load.
Unlike the broader muscle coverage of Arms Compression Sleeves, these focus protection directly on the elbow structure. Choose from neoprene sleeves for general warmth and mild compression, or counterforce straps designed to apply specific pressure to forearm tendons implicated in tennis/golfer’s elbow. Selecting the appropriate type from our Fitness Accessories range depends on your specific needs. Learn more in our elbow support selection guide.
For general support, warmth, and compression during heavy pressing, many lifters prefer a snug-fitting neoprene elbow sleeve. It provides moderate stability and proprioceptive feedback without overly restricting movement. Counterforce straps are less commonly used for this purpose, as they target specific tendon pressure points rather than overall joint bracing.
Use supports as an aid for mild, activity-related discomfort. If you have sharp, persistent, or worsening elbow pain, pain at rest, or significant swelling/loss of function, it’s crucial to consult a doctor or physiotherapist. They can diagnose the underlying issue (tendonitis, nerve impingement, ligament injury, etc.) and recommend appropriate treatment, which *might* include a specific support as *part* of the plan.
It should be snug enough to provide noticeable compression and support without causing pain, numbness, tingling down the arm, or significantly restricting your ability to bend and straighten the elbow. For straps, the pressure should be firm over the target muscle/tendon area just below the elbow joint. For sleeves, ensure even compression around the joint. Check the flipkin.com sizing guide carefully.
