5. Принципи рада

The Epi Sensa Elbow Support operates on principles of compression and targeted massage to aid in recovery and pain relief:

• Компресија: The 3D flat-knitted fabric applies graduated compression, which helps to improve circulation and reduce swelling in the elbow region. This compression also provides stability to the joint.
• Gel Pad Massage: The integrated gel pads provide a continuous micro-massage effect during movement. This gentle massage stimulates blood flow, helps to break down adhesions, and can reduce pain and discomfort in the affected tendons and muscles.
• Proprioception: The support enhances proprioception (the body's awareness of its position in space), which can lead to improved coordination and reduced risk of re-injury.

Wear the support during activities that may aggravate your condition or as recommended by your healthcare professional. It can be worn for extended periods, but always listen to your body and remove it if discomfort arises.
