"BandIT is simply the best in its class"

I've suffered from occasional bouts of tendonitis and the consequential irritation of the ulnar nerve for many years. I have an active work and sports life, so my activities sometimes result in injuries that once took weeks or months to to heal. Until I found BandIT I had no choice but to completely rest my arm and use anti-inflammatory medicine. I've also learned the use of the BandIt during potentially injurious activities can completely prevent the injury to begin with.

While I didn't purchase BandIT through Amazon, I've owned one for more than five years and in that time it has managed to prevent the injury or shorten the recovery period from tendonitis and reduced the need for anti-inflammatory drugs, all the while allowing me to continue to work and participate in sports. While I do need to take some extra precautions against reinjury, I've never found another product, including the Futuro tendonitis brace and other similar bands, that have duplicated the results of this product. Bottom line: the BandIt places pressure at the exact two points necessary to releive 90% of the stress on the tendon, allowing it to recover and heal. I still recommend the use of ice for the first 48 hours, and then alternating ice and heat until the inflammation is completely gone. P.S. the KneedIt product for the knee works just as well for similar knee problems. Great healing products, great preventive products!! 5 stars

"Best Ever! I even wear it to bed!"

I basically blew out my right elbow swinging a hammer for 6 weeks this past summer. I have not been able to get any relief from the constant pain of what was diagnosed as "tennis elbow". I have ran the course of several different types of NSAID's, physical therapy and cortisone shots, to no avail. I have also purchased several other types of elbow supports to relieve the pain, but again no avail. All they did was cut off my circulation, and cause swelling and knubness in my hand. A co worker told me about her device called "BandIt" I tried it on and wow what a great feeling. No circulation issues at all. It does not move from where it is placed! I use a peice of an old sock as a sleeve to assist with sweat under the band and irritation from the velcro at the inside bend of my elbow. I have wore it to bed and did not have any pain trying to move around in bed. I get up with out any pain. No more NSAID's for me...I LOVE this BandIt. 5 stars

"Great product"

Great for tennis elbow, ping pong elbow, snow shoveling elbow. "Tennis elbow" is caused by an inflamed tendon in the forearm and BandIt Band stopped the strain on mine and its healing nicely. Fine product. 5 stars

"The best that I've tried"

I have chronic tendonitis in both elbows. I have tried other orthopedic devices from a specialist but nothing compares to the Band-It elbow brace. The Band-It elbow brace is both very effective and comfortable. Use it with confidence! I have continued with the physical therapy exercises to strengthen the tendons. I'm completely satisfied with the Band-It elbow brace. I have no affiliation with the company or its products. 5 stars
