To use the Ion Core Elbow Brace, follow these simple steps to ensure proper placement and effectiveness:
-
Locate Tender Area: Gently rub the outside of your elbow to identify any areas of muscle tenderness. This is where the brace's compression pad should be focused.
-
Position the Brace: Slide the brace up your arm, ensuring the compression pad is positioned on the forearm, approximately 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) directly below the tender area you identified. Accurate placement of the pad is crucial for targeted support.
-
Fasten the Straps: Thread each end of the brace's strap through the buckles. Then, fold the straps over and fasten them securely. Make sure the brace is snug but not overly tight. It should provide support without restricting circulation or causing discomfort.
Remember to adjust the straps as needed for a comfortable and supportive fit. The goal is to apply focused pressure to the affected area, aiding in pain relief and recovery. If you experience any numbness, tingling, or excessive discomfort, loosen the straps immediately.
