THE ELBOW

How does injure happen?

Repetitive or sharp arm swings can cause muscle strains due to inability to support loading, leading to elbow injuries smiliar to tennis elbow and golf elbow.

 

How does LP protect you?

The elbow connects the upper arm and forearm, allowing the arm to do various complex movements such as flexion/ extension and supination / pronation. The LP Sports Medicine Team focuses on improving elbow performance with technologies such as special silicone gel pads and binding tape, which ease the burden on tendons and help cushion the impact on tendons when force is applied. Specially designed protective gear can keep the extension of the elbow muscle in a reasonable range, reducing large radial swinging movements that can cause excessive strecthing. When the elbow is injuried, the partial pressure of binding tape or cushions can ease pain and decrease the possibility of worsening an injury due to excessive contraction during recovery.
