This thing works and fits perfectly. You get what you pay for and this is worth every dime
Got as a gift for my husband who loves it. His only complaint is that the plug is too short.
This is truly an excellent and well made product. It is one of the few, and in my opinion, the best elbow/forearm heating pads on the market. It heats very quickly and has three adjustable temperature options. The highest option is very warm and quite soothing for arm pain. I have suffered from radial tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow for more than a year. I purchased this product with the hope of finding a way to apply more even heat in the areas where I needed it. A traditional square heating pad just wasn't cutting it. The design of this product makes it easy to apply and it securely fits around even the skinniest of arms. The heating element sits just inside a pocket and it is interchangeable with the ice pack that comes with it. The wrap can also be work just for support, without either the heating element or the ice pack. It really is a 3 in 1 device as advertised. The cord is a nice length to allow freedom to move around while wearing the wrap. The product is very well constructed and looks like it will last a while. The wrap is washable. I am already looking at the companies other products for some of my other problem areas.
This thing is awesome compared to the MI rotate heat pads. It hits from the mid-lower tricep to the mid-upper forearm. Hits all the spots I need it to for tennis elbow and tricep tendinitis. I'm sure you could flip it and use it for golfers elbow.
Just got it and all I can say is it is amazing. Have been using a regular heating pad tied up into a tube for my torn extensor tendon in my elbow. This is so much better. Heat level is perfect. Hot without burning. Making me a tiny bit warm overall in the body but definitely feeling it in my elbow. I've been battling "tennis elbow" for 2 years and have confirmed via MRI that I have a partial thickness tear in the extensor tendon. Cold no longer helps and if anything makes it worse. PT, acupuncture, massage, NSAID's, etc have all helped, but heat and Penetrex (buy it, seriously buy it) have helped the most. Having a wrap that form fits is great. Now I can use this at work and home. It even comes with a handy bag to keep it in for easy travel. So happy I bought this. Best money i've spent thus far on healing my elbow except for the Penetrex (buy it, seriously, it is on amazon, buy it now along with this).

Description
It is widely acknowledged that a combination therapy of cold and heat is the optimum approach for dealing with swelling, pain and accelerating healing. Ice and cold packs are often used as immediate treatment for acute injuries because the cold reduces swelling and pain. Our wrap, when used with the Neo Cold Pack, can be applied it to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Allow the skin temperature to return to normal before a second or third time. You can use Neo Cold Pack wrapped in brace for an acute injury several times a day for up to three days. Cold therapy is also helpful in treating some overuse injuries or chronic pain in athletes. When the swelling is gone, heat therapy can help with the healing process. Far Infrared Energy Therapy used in the cabric has been shown to affect many positive changes at a cellular level. Heat therapy is used for pain relief, improving blood circulation to promote healing, and helps relax tight muscles. Our Thermedic wraps make it easy to apply either types of therapy directly to the affected area. *
It is easy to use, and fits well for tennis elbow pain.
I have tried many size/shape heating pads, and this is by far the best I have found. Attaching to the elbow area is simple and convenient. The heat pad itself is 9.5" long and 6" wide which for most arms will not totally wrap the arm/elbow in heat, but it sure seems to help.
The electrical attachment mechanism is very convenient, as you can temporarily "unplug", then plug back in without having to re-wrap your arm.
I have been battling tennis elbow for the past 14 months. After a cortisone shot and 15 physical therapy visits at a cost of over $600 in co-pays, my elbow was no better. After being told by a specialist that heat would help, I purchased this elbow wrap and use every day at work. In just one month, I've experienced significant improvement and can perform most actions with no pain. This is amazing!
The specialist determined that I had formed calcium deposits in my elbow which were causing the pain. Heating the elbow helps that build-up to move on.
This device may look expensive at first glance, but if you want to forgo hundreds in co-pays, it ends up being rather inexpensive and promotes healing faster than what otherwise may be the case.
The device has an automatic 30 minute timer. This is actually preferred as you want to alternate between periods of treatment and downtime to promote healing.
If you experience chronic elbow pain, I highly recommend this device. It just may be the single best thing you can do to promote healing.
I love this! It also comes with an ice pack. Really soothing for my tennis elbow
Very good!
I have one for each arm. It really helps with arthritis pain!
