Tenex® Elbow Shock
Absorber absorbs the vibrations whenever
your elbow is subjected to sudden impact
such as golf, tennis, baseball, hammering,
pounding or typing on a keyboard. |
| |
|
How does Tenex®
Elbow Shock Absorber work and why is it
the most effective treatment?
|
|
|
Tenex® Elbow Shock
Absorber utilizes a high-density proprietary
liquid to absorb vibrations, significantly
neutralizing the force of impact. For tennis
elbow (and
golfers elbow!)
this means vibrations transmitted from the
tennis racquet or golf club to the elbow are
decreased by 50 -70 percent. As a result, an
increase in strength and power may also
occur. |
|
The best
treatment against tennis elbow, golfers
elbow, muscle stress and fatigue!
|
| |
|
Studies prove
Tenex® Elbow Shock Absorber is the most
effective treatment.
|
|
|
Five independent clinical
studies have shown that Tenex® Elbow Shock
Absorber dampens vibrations better than
anything ever seen and actually prevents
tennis elbow or
golfers elbow
and tendonitis. Wear it on your wrist, like
a wrist watch, it will help treat injuries
and combat pain before it gets to the
elbow! |
| |
|
Engineering Studies
conducted at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
and at HAKO Research Laboratories, concluded
that the Tenex® Elbow Shock Absorber reduces
migratory vibrations by 50 - 70 percent
making Tenex® the most effective treatment
against tennis elbow and
carpal tunnel syndrome
available today. |

Tests of Tenex®
Elbow Shock Absorber on subjects suffering
from tennis elbow revealed a dramatic
improvement in their condition, and in some
cases, complete treatment of the symptoms. |
| |
|
Clinical Testing
found a measurable
improvement in players' strenght and power,
attributable to a reduction in the
inhibition caused by pain: |

"This is a
real scientific breakthrough in the
treatment of tennis elbow, the carpal
tunnel syndrome and repetitive motion
disorders."

"I
developed tennis elbow in 1988. Because
tennis is my bread and butter I would
not stop playing. I tried to play with
different bandages hoping for a miracle.
The miracle never came until I was
introduced to Tenex®. I put it on my
wrist, and since then my tennis elbow
has disappeared. That was a miracle. I
believe 90% of the people with tennis
elbow who have been trying Tenex® have
had 100% improvement with the injury
completely disappearing."

What is
Tennis Elbow?
|
| |
|
Tennis elbow is an
injury to the muscles and tendons on the
outside (lateral aspect) of the elbow
resulting from overuse or repetitive stress.
The narrowing of the muscle bellies in the
forearm, as they merge into the tendons,
creates highly focused stress in the areas
where they insert into the bone of the
elbow. Injury to the lateral aspect of the
elbow is the most common upper extremity
tennis infliction. Tennis elbow is generally
caused by overuse of the extensor tendons in
the forearm, particularly the extensor carpi
radialis brevis. |

|

|
| |
|
(lateral
epicondylitis)
|
| |
|
|
| |
The location of
pain, on the outside (lateral) of the
elbow, is usually gradual with
tenderness felt on or below the joint's
bony prominence. Movements such as
gripping, lifting and carrying are
difficult.
|

|
50% of players
will experience this condition
|
| |
|
| |
Commonly
experienced by the amateur player, this
injury is often a result of
1)
a one-handed backhand with poor technique
(the ball is hit with the front of the
shoulder up and power generated from the
forearm muscles),
2)
a late forehand swing preparation with
resulting wrist snap to bring the racquet
head perpendicular to the ball, or
3)
while serving, the ball is hit with full
power and speed with wrist pronation (palm
turned downward) and wrist snap, which
increases the stress on the already taught
extensor tendons. The damage incurred with
tennis elbow consists of tiny tears in part
of the tendon and in muscle coverings. After
the initial injury heals, these areas often
tear again, which leads to hemorrhaging and
the formation of rough, granulated tissue
and calcium deposits within the surrounding
tissues. Collagen, a protein, leaks out from
around the injured areas causing
inflammation. The resulting pressure can cut
off the blood flow and pinch the radial
nerve (one of the major nerves controlling
muscles in the arm and hand). |
