Cho-Pat Bicep/Tricep Cuff, Upper Arm Brace for Tendonitis, Strains, and Weight Lifting, Small

The Cho-Pat Bicep/Tricep Cuff prevents the pulling and tearing of tendons and muscles in bicep area. The bicep is the strong muscle in the front of the upper arm that flexes the forearm. The bicep is particularly susceptible to overuse injuries, especially in individuals performing repetitive lifting activities. It’s connected to the shoulder by a long tendon that passes through a groove in the upper arm bone called the humerus. The bicep tendon, in turn, is held in the humerus by a ligament. If this ligament becomes injured or stretched, the tendon is not held firmly in place and slides in the groove causing severe discomfort and pain and, in some cases, leads to bicipital tendonitis. Other causes of pain and discomfort may include poor lifting techniques and conditioning. Tendonitis is another bicep problem and is caused by repetitive elbow flexion against resistance at the distal portion of the biceps at the elbow. The triceps is the strong muscle at the back of the upper arm. It, too, is susceptible to injury. Tricipital tendonitis can develop at the triceps insertion in the elbow and can be caused by overuse and repetitive resisted elbow extension The Cho-Pat Bicep/Tricep Cuff applies dynamic circumference pressure to the upper and lower portions of the bicep and tricep muscles. This action spreads out the stress and direct pull on the muscle attachments which helps to reduce the likelihood of developing bicipital/tricipital tendonitis and to ease existing bicep/triceps’ pain and discomfort. The support from this bicep brace absorbs and disperses pain causing forces to relieve stress and reduce inflammation. This tricep support brace provides targeted pain relief support to absorb and diffuse stress and stabilize muscles and tendons. For the perfect fit and best results, measure the circumference of the arm at the mid-bicep and match that measurement to the right size. If between sizes, we recommend that you order the larger size.
