ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic device for treating tendinitis and epicondylitis of the elbow is provided. The device comprises a loop of elastic material, wherein the loop has a 360-degree twist built therein so as to provide distinct first and second surfaces on the loop. The device is employed by positioning the loop about the elbow joint in a figure-8 formation, such that the loop is divided into an upper-band and a lower-band. The upper-band encircles the arm above and adjacent the elbow joint, the lower-band encircles the arm below and adjacent the elbow joint. The user then permits the loop to remain positioned about the elbow joint for a period sufficient to provide the desired relief.
