Arm Muscles
Golfer's & Tennis Elbow
It's important to note that Golfer's Elbow is a symptom of another ,often unrealized, issue with your elbow. It manifests as pain, and that pain really flares up when you go to use your arm. But what you are doing when you feel the pain is rarely the underlying cause.
Yes, the painful activity can aggravate the condition but you need to deal with the cause too. Golfer's Elbow means your elbow is injured, and you need to take actions to help it heal. You also need to alter something you are doing so, that once it's healed, it doesn't come back.
Golfer's Elbow doesn't develop without a reason. But most people who develop Golfer's Elbow have difficulty figuring out why it developed in the first place. Getting rid of it is possible with the right treatment. But if you want to keep it away, and not be treating yourself forever, it's important to figure out what is triggering it in the first place. Whether it's from locking your elbow for long periods while at the computer, or if you've been sleeping with your arm twisted, or if it's because of a new sport, you need to identify the cause and make a change to remove the aggravation.
Your elbow has tendons in it which act like ropes between your muscles to the bone. When you go to flex your wrist, one of your forearm muscles pulls your wrist with these tendons. It's the damage to these tendons and the surrounding tissue that we commonly call 'Golfer's Elbow'. Squeezing your tendons and the surrounding tissue when you are either still or in motion can make your condition worse.
Tight bands or 'therapy sleeves' over your elbow for hours a day are going to do more harm than good. If you squeeze the tendons while they're in motion, you can cause them to rub and get injured further on surrounding tissue and bone. If you squeeze them for long periods when you are at rest, you can cut off the blood flow to the area and that can be damaging your tendon in your elbow. The injury occurred because of subtle abuse, and preventing more abuse like what happens with bands and sleeves is key to getting better. If you want protection during activity, use tape, not tight bands or sleeves.
Your elbow is going to need some rest. This doesn't mean you won't be able to resume normal life later. You just need to get over the hump of healing. Rest your elbow. As you feel better you can start to slowly resume your old activities. Use the pain as your guide, though. If it hurts, let up. It's not forever, but you need to give your elbow time to heal if you really want to get rid of the problem. If you have identified and corrected the triggering cause, with some rest and the right treatment, you can put your Golfer's Elbow behind you for good.
There's no doubt it hurts. Golfer's Elbow can be a really nagging pain. But taking pain killers and driving through the pain is likely to make your condition worse. Pain relieving creams are tempting but dangerous too. In the end the pain is there to warn you that your current activity is aggravating your condition. Masking that pain is likely to make your condition worse in the long run.
The whole reason you are addressing the issue is because of the pain. The pain is limiting your ability to do the things you enjoy and want to do. Often, with Golfer's Elbow, warming up can really help. Whatever the activity is that hurts but you really want to do, ease your body into it when you start. If you can start lightly, do so. Often people with Golfer's Elbow feel a lot of pain initially but the pain lets up after a little while. The key thing is to respect the pain when you feel it. Don't drive through it aggressively, because that can irritate the condition further. Go at it slowly, and you will find that you can have minimal pain as your ability to do the activity increases.
If you want to be more proactive, BFST treatments before activity go a long way to increasing the blood flow in your elbow before you begin your activity. A BFST treatment in advance of the activity reduces the amount of damage and pain you will endure from the start. The lubricating and stimulating effects help heal your tissue at rest and prevent reinjury pre-workout. If you are determined to stay active as your elbow heals, BFST treatments will help you do just that.
To deal with pain in the moment, though, nothing beats cold compression. ColdCure Elbow Wraps are designed specifically to quickly eliminate the pain of Golfer's Elbow. They suck the pain out of your elbow very quickly, reduce swelling, and help stabilize your injury. ColdCure works better than pain killers because the results are immediate. ColdCure treatments actually reduce the factors that cause the pain. Painkillers just block the sensation and do nothing to help you heal. Anytime you are highly active with your elbow, use a ColdCure afterwards to help stabilize the injury, even if you don't feel pain. ColdCure after activity goes a long way to reducing the long term damage from the activity, and reducing reinjury is key to speeding overall recovery.
The reason for the Golfer's Elbow is definitely because there is damaged tissue in your elbow. In most cases it is a tendon injury although it is possible it could be some other tissue or ligament that your body is trying to mend. You may or may not know the underlying issue. Regardless, the most effective treatment for all these types of injuries is rest. Your body needs some time to heal. Stopping everything isn't possible, but lighten up as much as you can to let the underlying condition improve.
You can accelerate the healing process by stimulating blood flow. This is what is happening when Physiotherapists treat you with Ultrasound. Ultrasound is a diathermic medical device that stimulates blood flow in deep tissue to promote circulation which in turn promotes healing. The issue is that the benefit of diathermy treatments last for around 4 hours so one treatment every two or three days is kind of like taking a Tylenol once every few days to treat a migraine. Once in a while won't solve the problem. You need regular treatments. And Ultrasound needs a technician to treat you - you can't get one yourself to do it at home. There is a diathermic product you can get to use at home though, and it's called "BFST".
King Brand 'BFST' stands for 'Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy'. BFST devices are diathermic medical devices that promote blood flow that you can buy yourself and use at home or wherever you are. This way you can give yourself diathermic treatments several times each day, maximizing the benefits of this type of medical treatment, and helping you heal as fast as you can.
To treat your tendons, or swollen epicondyle, or ligament damage, you need to use an Elbow BFST wrap to promote healing of the underlying injury. With a bit of rest, regular Cold Compression to reduce the swelling and pain, and regular Elbow BFST healing treatments, you have the best tools available for finally getting rid of your Golfer's Elbow. Finally and completely.
Do you know what is the underlying injury in your elbow? Most people don't. For most injuries it's highly recommended you try to obtain an X-ray or MRI to get a proper diagnosis. Afterall, the more you know, the better you can take care of the injury. Unfortunately, Golfer's Elbow is one of those few conditions that doesn't really get revealed from those traditional tests. Seeing a doctor is always a good idea, but if it's Golfer's Elbow the doctor's ability to prescribe a solution is very limited. But you know it's something in your elbow. So, when you are active, you should tape the injured area to reduce the amount of reinjury you get from your activity.
You see most professional athletes taped up because they inevitably get injured, and they can't stop doing their thing, so they tape when they are active to try to keep the damage to a minimum. They're not wearing bands or sleeves or anything else; it's always tape. It's always tape for a good reason.
You can be sure, tight bands around your joints are a bad idea. They squeeze the area more than they give it support and that squeezing during activity can cause extra rubbing and strain on your ligaments and tendons, possibly leading to more injuries over time. Athletes tape because tape gives support from the skin side without squeezing the joint and putting you at further risk.
So keep your activity to a minimum while you're on the mend, and tape when you have to be active. In time you will be able to increase your activity level, gradually, as you put your issues behind you for good.
You see it all the time. A professional athlete gets Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer's Elbow). It's the same injury you struggle with, yet the professional athlete is competing again in a matter of days or weeks while most people suffer for months on end. How can that be? The difference is that most people take pain killers and just rest while pro athletes take action. Pro athletes are using these tools to heal quickly. And the reality is that anyone with Golfer's Elbow can get them too. King Brand® makes those tools. Tons of professional athletes use King Brand products, and we can provide them to you as well.
Golfer's Elbow and other forms of elbow tendonitis are some of the most persistent conditions many people are faced with. Whether it's due to a sudden trauma or the result of repetitive strain, once damaged, the elbow can be incredibly resistant to healing. Patients with Golfer's Elbow rarely take the time necessary to rest their elbow so it can heal completely. For medical professionals it is impractical to expect the patient to not use an arm for weeks or months while the body heals itself. For the practical treatment of Elbow Tendonitis, a more proactive solution is required. This solution is King Brand® Healthcare's ColdCure® and BFST® Elbow Wraps.
Do this and your Golfer's Elbow can truly heal - Finally.

In spite of the BFST® being an electrical device, BFST® can be used in hospital emergency rooms and operating rooms without affecting other equipment. You can use any medical device with a BFST® and neither device will know the other one is there. This is a very tough standard to meet, but we do it and you benefit.

Tell them what you need to do, and they can help create a treatment plan that's specific to your individual needs. Our Advisors spend all day helping people just like you every stage of their recovery. We are truly dedicated to helping you feel better as quickly as possible.
Talk to us. Tell us your lifestyle and schedule and let us help you put together a treatment program that will work best for you. We'll guide you on when and when not to take painkillers and which ones are best if some can actually help. We have a lot of knowledge to share. At every point in your recovery, you can call us and we will be there for you.
Physiotherapists and doctors recommend stretching and strengthening exercises because it helps to promote blood flow through your injured elbow. Often, we reduce our activity when we are injured and that leads to weakening muscles which is called Atrophy. Physiotherapy is also intended to help strengthen the surrounding muscles to rebuild that lost muscle. But it can be harmful if stretching and exercises are started too early. Your injury first needs to stabilize, and in order to stabilize the injury you need to rest. If you still have significant injury, any physio you do should start off very light.
Our advice is, don't start Physical Therapy until your condition has stabilized. When you start, if you feel pain during or after PT, speak up! Your clinician can't feel what you feel, so it is very important to advocate for yourself during physio. Let them know how it feels at each stage so they can use that as a guide to treat you properly. PT is not supposed to hurt and if it does you may be re-injuring your elbow.
When you rest, your blood flow slows down, which doesn't help your injury heal. This is why BFST® is so important to start early on in your recovery. The BFST® will increase blood flow - when you can't exercise and stretch - to promote the healing process. That stimulation also helps prevent reinjury when you become more active. Start BFST early. The earlier the better! Use the BFST® to warm up your elbow before PT and before any other heavy activity. This will help prevent further injury as a result of the PT activity.
At the beginning of your injury, even before the injury has had a chance to stabilize and long before you start physio, the ColdCure® Wraps will help keep the pain and swelling under control. Always use your ColdCure® wrap after any heavy activity and after PT.
The KB Support Tape™ should be applied every morning and worn all day long to help prevent re-injury, including to PT. For many people, King Brand® products, used in the comfort of your own home, are all that is required without having to attend and pay for Physical Therapy appointments. Because you don't have to move to use them, the King Brand BFST® and ColdCure® Wraps can be started any time in your recovery process.
Blood flow works to improve cell growth and aids in proper functioning of the organs. Our blood contains oxygen and nutrients that our body needs in order to help heal. When we're injured, blood flow to the area is usually significantly restricted. That's why promoting blood flow to the area of injury is so important. This is what opens up the blood vessels, so the soft tissue can receive the oxygen and nutrients it needs in order to heal. By promoting an increase in blood flow to the area, the extra blood flow will also carry away the waste by-products that are left over from the time of the injury.
The BFST® Wrap is a diathermic device that stimulates blood flow deep within the soft tissue, providing nutrient-rich, optimized blood flow to your injury. Diathermy is well-recognized and accepted by the medical community as an effective means of promoting sub-dermal blood flow in order to speed up healing and recovery times. Remember, all King Brand® wraps are Class II Registered FDA Medical Devices.
The BFST® is NOT a typical heating pad. Heating pads bring blood to the surface of your skin and make it hot to the touch. BFST® Wraps stimulate blood flow deep beneath your skin to repair your damaged tissue. Bringing blood to the surface of your skin does nothing to heal the injury deep below. BFST® Wraps work to actively heal your soft tissue injury through promotion of blood flow. Ordinary heating pads can't do this.
Medical Device credibility is important. At King Brand® we've taken the time to make sure that all of our BFST® products perform the way we claim they will. We've taken the time to make sure that they're the safest Medical Device on the market, and provided peace of mind with our Treatment Advisors being available to support you through your entire treatment process. At King Brand® we are confident that we can treat soft tissue injuries and always stand behind our Money Back Guarantee.
At rest, your injury is not promoting blood flow, and activity can re-injure and cause pain and swelling. The King Brand BFST® promotes circulation and blood flow while you are at rest. Thus, providing you with a safe and effective way to heal in comfort.
People love the way BFST® treatments feel. They are very pleasant and relaxing. During treatment, you will notice a slight warming sensation. Some people also experience a slight tingling sensation resulting from the increase in blood flow. We recommend 3-4 BFST® treatments per day, spread throughout the day. The effects of each 20 minute treatment last for up to 4 hours, so even when your treatment is over, your blood flow is still working to help you heal.
The BFST treatments are very comfortable and soothing. The BFST® uses Electromagnetic Energy to stimulate blood flow underneath the surface of the skin. It is warm, but not hot. It does not vibrate like a massager. (You shouldn't use a massager on soft tissue injuries) It does not cause your muscles to tense in jolts like with a TENS machine. (TENS machines are very bad for soft tissue injuries) The BFST® isn't supposed to do either of those things. Rather, it is soothing and sometimes gives you a gentle tingling sensation in the treatment area. BFST treatments are very pleasant and enjoyable.
Don't be confused, while the treatments feel gentle, they are still very powerful. Think about an X-RAY or an MRI. Even though you don't feel the energy during those procedures, a lot of energy is definitely going deep into your body. If you put your ear close to the BFST when it is on, you can actually hear it going through the cycles. It's not loud, but you can hear it if you listen. It isn't just delivering one energy level at one frequency. Just like an MRI machine, the BFST buzzes and hums and gets louder and more quiet as it goes through the treatment cycle. It sounds just like a mini-MRI machine. Over the 20 minute treatment period it goes through a treatment cycle to deliver the most energy in the most effective way. It is designed to help give you the fastest healing time possible, in the comfort of your home.
During each BFST® treatment you will only feel a mild warming sensation. If it feels hot, you are using it on too high of a setting. Over time, after several treatment sessions, the treatments will feel like they are getting less and less warm. This is your body responding to the BFST® treatments by increasing your subdermal blood flow. The more BFST treatments you do, the less warmth you're going to feel. This is a good sign. Your tissue is becoming healthier. Your body is getting stronger. This means that your circulation through your injury is improving, and your injury is improving. When the feeling of warmth during a treatment is almost all gone, this is the signal that it is time to move up to the next level. People usually move up to the second level after a few weeks of treatment.
To minimize pain and swelling from your Golfer's Elbow, complete a ColdCure® treatment any time your pain level increases, or if you have been active. The ColdCure® Elbow Wrap provides superior relief of the swelling and pain that comes with Golfer's Elbow. ColdCure® Elbow Wraps use cold and compression together, because cold and compression are the two things you need to eliminate pain and swelling as quickly and effectively as possible. Don't let the pain of your Golfer's Elbow control you. If your elbow hurts, just apply the ColdCure® Elbow Wrap. The application of cold compression must be uniform and complete if it's going to work the best. This is why the ColdCure® Elbow Wrap has been custom designed to perfectly fit your elbow, to perfectly target the pain of your Golfer's Elbow.
Golfer's Elbow can be so painful and debilitating that it causes us to rely heavily on pain killers. But honestly, pain killers are not your friend. It is understandable that you are looking for the relief from pain. Remember, though, the pain is there to stop us from hurting your elbow further. The pain is your body saying please stop doing that! While pain killers are a welcome relief, they can be dangerous to take when you're active. Pain killers can completely block the pain signal, making you unaware of any further damage you could be doing to your elbow. Pain killers should be restricted to times of rest.
When it comes to pain killers, some products are much more effective than others. Some can actually help your injury when used correctly and others will only make it worse. According to the National Institute of Health, our own government body tells us that Acetaminophen overdose is the leading cause for calls to Poison Control Centers (>100,000/year) and accounts for more than 56,000 emergency room visits. And acetaminophen (Tylenol) won't help you get better one bit. It only puts you at risk of more injury. If you want help choosing the right pain killer and want advice on how to use it more safely and correctly, give us a call at 1-844-672-9440. We will give you excellent guidance. No charge. No purchase necessary.
To maximize healing and minimize pain and swelling, complete a BFST® treatment right before bed. We can give you advice on medication you can take to reduce the pain and help you heal while you sleep. The BFST® treatment will work towards healing while you sleep, and the medication will work to relieve the pain and inflammation so that you can experience restful sleep. During the day, ColdCure® treatments are the best choice to continue to reduce inflammation while you are active. Our medical grade injury tape, KB Support Tape™, is excellent for reducing re-injury and pain when you need to be active as well. If you're in pain, give us a call now for free advice 1-844-672-9440.
Avoid the dangers of pain killers. King Brand ColdCure® Elbow Wraps are much safer and more effective than pain killers. ColdCure® Wraps start relieving the pain caused from Golfer's Elbow within minutes. There's no need to wait for 20 minutes for your pain killers to start working. There's no need to wait 4 hours between treatments! ColdCure® Wraps are specifically designed for Golfer's Elbow. It doesn't matter what size your elbow is, this is a custom wrap specifically designed to reduce the swelling in your elbow, and you can use them as much as you like. If there's pain, apply your ColdCure® Elbow Wrap!
For dealing with the swelling and pain associated with Golfer's Elbow, nothing works better than our cold compression wrap.
ColdCure® technology works instantly. As soon as you put it on you feel incredible relief. This device is designed just for the elbow so it is a perfect fit for both the inside and the outside of the elbow. It's well targeted and extremely effective. ColdCure® therapy can be applied for extended periods of time, providing superior relief from the pain and swelling that comes from your Golfer's Elbow. Put it on and you will instantly feel relief and relaxation as it draws the pain and tension out of your elbow and arm. You can use it at home or on the go and it feels wonderful the entire time you are wearing it.
The ColdCure® Elbow Wrap is made entirely of very stretchy material. It wraps around your elbow and applies a very gentle pressure over the entire affected area. The wrap comes with 3 swappable cold packs designed to comfortably target both the inside and outside of your elbow. They are soft and flexible and mold perfectly to the shape of your elbow, yet the gel inside them won't squeeze out of place. Use them one at a time, keeping the other two in the freezer so you can keep swapping them out as many times as you like. There's no need to take a break between treatments if you're using gel packs stored in the freezer. As long as they are pliable, they are ready to insert into the wrap. If they are not quite pliable (too stiff to bend) right out of the freezer, leave them on the counter for a few minutes so they can soften up. This will make them easier to insert, as well as a more comfortable temperature to be applied to your elbow for long periods of time. Once pliable, you can keep using them as long as you need the pain relief.
I received the elbow ColdCure and BFST kit and have been doing the treatments for 4 days. I can already feel a difference. Its being more proactive with my rehab. It's helping me heal quicker.

Perfectly protecting your Golfer's Elbow, KB Support Tape™ provides maximum protection so you don't have to deal with the constant re-injury cycle that quite often comes from Golfer's Elbow.

KB Support Tape™ is designed to protect your tendons, muscles and ligaments and prevent further damage as you go through your day.
Professional athletes always tape their injuries. You see it all the time. They know the benefits and they do what they need to, to heal as quickly as possible. KB Support Tape™ provides safe, high grade, optimal armor for your injury. It is made from the highest quality, hospital grade, biocompatible materials which most sports tapes are not. KB Tape is 100% KB Quality.
KB Support Tape™ provides your elbow with ongoing compression to relieve your swelling throughout the day. It also prevents re-injury by providing support and protection for your injured tissue. You can wear it during all of your daily activities and it won't get in the way.
You have 2 styles to choose from: Pre-Cut Strips and a Continuous Roll, as well as 3 different colors: Blue, Black & Beige. There's no functional difference between the colors, they just let you express your personal style.
The Pre-Cut Strips of KB Support Tape™ are ideal for people who want to use their tape on-the-go. Since they're already cut into ready-to-use strips, you can apply and go! Each roll of Pre-Cut KB Support Tape™ contains 20 individual strips. Each Pre-Cut Strip is 2 inches wide and 10 inches long.
The Continuous Rolls of KB Support Tape™ are designed for people who want to get creative and customize their tape by cutting it into a variety of different shapes and sizes. Each box contains 1 Continuous Roll of KB Support Tape™ that is 2 inches wide and 16 feet long.
Find your painful point on your elbow. With your palm facing down, the pain should be on the top of your elbow. From there, you want to create an X or T design in order to cover up where the pain is located. Similar to the image above.
Typically when applying the Tape, you will use two pieces. One 6" piece and one 4" piece. If your arms are smaller, or the tape feels too long, you can shorten the tape by a few inches to customize your application. Where the two pieces of tape overlap, is where you are feeling the most pain. The shorter piece will run perpendicular to the tendon/ligament that is injured. The second piece will be applied along the length of the injury.
The KB Support Tape stretches along its length. When applying the tape, you want to have around 50% stretch when applying. The end 1" of tape will be applied with no stretch. This is called your anchor. Having an anchor will allow you to have more mobility without having to worry that the tape will peel off prematurely.
Over time, try modifying your unique taping method to ensure that each application you're getting the best support. Always use your pain as a guide. You'll know the best taping style because you'll really notice how much less your elbow hurts through the day when you have it applied correctly.
We used 2 different colors of KB Support Tape™ in the above image to better illustrate how the Tape is applied for Golfer's Elbow. You do not need 2 different colors of KB Support Tape™ in order to achieve this application.

BFST® + ColdCure® Treatments
BFST® for Rapid Healing
ColdCure® for Pain & Swelling
KB Tape™ to Prevent Re-Injury
Combination Therapy means using ColdCure® and BFST® in combination by alternating treatments, as well as using KB Support Tape™. Combination Therapy is much more effective than using just ColdCure® or just BFST®. This is because you're getting both the pain and swelling relief of ColdCure®, the healing benefits of BFST®, as well as the protection and re-injury prevention of KB Support Tape™. The combination results in the absolute best treatment for your Golfer's Elbow.
A very important part of treating your condition is to use the ColdCure® Wrap. This will help to help reduce the inflammation you may have and cannot see, deep down in the soft tissue. You can use it several times a day. Use it anytime you want pain relief and after any significant exercise of your elbow even if it doesn't hurt afterward.
You should rely more heavily on ColdCure® treatments immediately after exercise because the inflammation will continue to re-develop when you are active. Being aggressive with back to back cold treatments after exercise will give your body a chance to get ahead of the inflammation, and prepare your elbow for the blood flow that's needed to help heal quickly.
Introduce your BFST® treatments at your less active times of day and before significant exercise if you have to do some. Keep your swelling and inflammation under control with ColdCure® but do not use ColdCure® and BFST® close together. Use BFST® in the morning, before bed, and after longer periods of resting your injury. When doing your treatments, you should only feel a slight warming sensation. At any time, if it feels HOT or uncomfortable, the treatment will not be as effective as if it is just mildly warm.
Each BFST® Treatment will last only 20 minutes, but the increase in blood flow will last up to four hours. Ideally your treatments should be spaced out throughout the day, so you can promote good blood flow all day long. If you can't do 3-4 treatments a day, your two most important treatments are first thing in the morning, and right before you go to bed. This will ensure that you have a great start to your day and you can rest well at night.
If you are planning on being active throughout the day, complete a BFST® treatment before any type of physical activity. It can be as simple as mopping the floor. Always assess how you are feeling after your activity, as there's a chance you may need to apply your ColdCure® to treat any new inflammation generated during your activities.
The goal with your BFST® Treatments are not to increase on the levels as quickly as possible, but to condition your circulatory system to allow for the much needed increased blood flow. Staying on the lowest level to where you feel any warmth - remember it's just a slight warmth - will be the most effective way to start healing your elbow injury. When can you move up to the next level? You can move up in levels when you feel barely any warmth from the wrap at all. This means that you've successfully conditioned your circulation and you're ready to move up. Some people can move up in a few weeks, some people it takes a lot longer. It just depends on how well your body adjusts to the increase in blood flow.
Do a ColdCure® treatment any time you experience a pain flare-up or after any physical activity to prevent further injury and reduce swelling and inflammation. Remember, staying on top of your inflammation will allow you to complete more BFST® treatments throughout the day.
Wait 30-45 minutes after your ColdCure® treatment before doing another BFST® treatment. This time will allow the blood flow and body temperature to regulate again. Refrain from using ColdCure® within the 4 hours following your 20 minute BFST® treatment, unless you notice an increase in pain during your BFST® Treatment.
ColdCure® treatments will slow down the blood flow, which isn't ideal, but is sometimes necessary to relieve the swelling and inflammation generated. The BFST® will increase your blood flow which is important for faster healing.
KB Support Tape™ is very important to help with your condition's recovery. As you move throughout the day, your skin and your tendons move with you. Using the KB Support Tape™ over your injury will make your skin less flexible - therefore protecting your injury - without restricting your range of motion. KB Support Tape™ can be used at the same time as your BFST® and ColdCure® Treatments without any issues. Try to have your first BFST® treatment of the day without the KB Support Tape™ applied. After your BFST® treatment has been completed, then apply the tape. Removing the tape before the last BFST® treatment of the day will provide the best results.
When you're recovering from Golfer's Elbow, the pain ends long before you've finished healing. In fact, the pain is usually gone once your tissue is about 20-30% healed. The entire healing process is very complex, and takes much longer than most people realize. (You can click here for the full story on tissue healing). The key thing to remember is that long after the pain stops, your underlying injury is still healing. This means you need to keep doing BFST® treatments in order to complete the healing process. Doing regular BFST® treatments for several months after the pain is gone is extremely beneficial. Do a BFST® treatment prior to any physical activity. This will act as a warm up for your circulatory system. You should also continue to use KB Support Tape™ to help protect the elbow from re-injury.
I do have to let you know that the BFST device is really helping my Golfer's Elbow. I have told several people about your product and even got my mother to purchase a shoulder unit. Thank you again

ColdCure® Wraps are FDA Registered Class I medical devices. They exceed all government and health agency regulatory requirements for cold therapy, specifically for use in treating soft tissue injuries. When applied, the ColdCure® Wrap immediately reduces the risk of further damage from excessive swelling. Doctors and Therapists agree that controlling swelling is a fundamental part of reducing long-term permanent damage resulting from soft tissue injuries.
All of our ColdCure® Wraps are entirely made of very soft, stretchy material. They come with 3 swappable cold packs that contain our unique XC RigiGel® formula. The gel packs are inserted inside the wrap one at a time, so you can have the other two charging in the freezer to keep your therapy going. Do your ColdCure® treatments in 20 minute intervals throughout the day, or as long as you need the relief.
Many people follow the RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation - formula when treating a soft tissue injury. While RICE is a popular method, the reality is that ice can actually freeze your skin and numb your nerves, causing 'cold burns' and even permanent damage to your skin and underlying tissue. The proper solution is RCCE® - Rest, Cold, Compression & Elevation. We don't want to apply ice - we want to apply cold that is just above freezing. Yes, you want cold - and lots of it - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water.
ColdCure® RigiGel® packs are much safer and more effective than ice and products that use mushy blue gel.
Why?
Because RigiGel® packs are like ice, but they stay at 32°F, the exact and best temperature for pain relief.
While they may start at about -4°F straight from the freezer, after a few minutes they will go to 32°F and stay at 32°F for a long time.
Not all freezers are the same so we build extra safety into the packs. If you find the gel pack too stiff from the freezer to use in the wrap, that's because it came out too cold to be safe. Leave it out for 1-2 minutes though and it's good to go! Then it will bend enough for inserting it inside the wrap. When the pack is soft enough to bend, it's ready to use for treatment. So simple and so safe!
More Gel = More Cold. XC Gel® packs contain 3x more gel by weight than ordinary gel packs. This means they cover a much larger area. When stored in the freezer, XC Gel® packs have 10x more cooling power than other products. So, you get longer treatments without having to recharge the gel packs as often. It also means faster relief of pain and swelling. Bigger gel packs with more gel inside, plus superior cooling power, ultimately means a better, more effective treatment.
Regular gel packs are notorious for having hot and cold spots. When cold pressure is applied to an injury, the gel starts to warm up in that specific spot faster than the rest of the pack. Our XC RigiGel® packs distribute cold energy evenly throughout the entire gel pack. The energy in our gel packs is transferred from the cold spots to the warm spots much more effectively. This is a valuable improvement as your injury will receive a consistent cold treatment, every time. The temperature balancing power of this gel formula is unmatched.
XC RigiGel® is firm yet flexible. We describe it as 'gel that bends like rubber' because even though it bends and molds to the shape of your body, it always stays in place. Unlike gooey blue gel that easily gets pushed to other areas of the wrap, our gel won't flow away from your injured spot. Even under very extreme pressure, it stays soft, but it won't budge. No matter how much pressure, the gel always stays in place over your injured spot. RigiGel conforms to the painful area for an even, consistent treatment every time.
ColdCure® Elbow gel packs are specially designed to conform to your elbow to provide your injury with an even distribution of cooling power. Every one of our ColdCure® Wraps comes with gel packs that are custom designed for the body part to ensure the best fit and treatment possible. We don't just use one generic gel pack shape. Every body part is uniquely shaped, which is why all of our gel packs are uniquely shaped too. If you want a product that is 100% designed to treat Golfer's Elbow, you need the ColdCure® Elbow Wrap.
XC RigiGel® packs have 2 different colored sides: a white side and a gold side. Both sides will give you all the same benefits that our high performance XC RigiGel® formula has to offer. The gel packs can be inserted inside the wrap with the white side facing towards your skin and elbow or away from your skin and elbow since they are not side specific.
The illustration shows the Cold Treatment effective coverage area. The coverage wraps around the back of the elbow, and extends up equally on both the inside and the outside of the elbow.
It's nice to be able to wear the ice pack around the house or office. I like the system, it's working.

The BFST® Elbow Wrap is an FDA registered Class II medical device. Class II devices are serious medical devices with very high standards of quality, performance, and safety. Class II medical devices have hundreds of pages of regulations and standards to keep you safe and ensure effective treatments. This is a medical device, not a 'consumer good', but it is available to the public to buy and use at home.
The Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ Wrap is designed to promote blood flow in injured tissue below the dermal (fat and skin) layer. Utilizing our patented Energy Web®, specially controlled EMR energy envelops the entire elbow and stimulates blood flow in the soft tissue deep beneath the skin. The resulting stimulation brings oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the injured area, accelerating the healing process.
Treatments require only 20 minutes, but the immediate effects last for about 4 hours. BFST® works exactly like exercise. BFST® is exercise for your circulatory system. So, like exercise, there is little benefit in giving yourself 2 treatments one after the other, but there is lots to gain from regular treatments. In fact, just like exercise, the more regularly you give yourself BFST® treatments, the more healthy your circulatory system becomes. And a healthy circulatory system benefits your elbow all day long. The more days you exercise for, the stronger your circulation becomes. If you work out for weeks or months you notice a big difference. Similarly, if you use BFST® for weeks or months there will be a big difference.
The BFST® Elbow Wrap has 3 different power settings, so you can continue to increase the power of your treatments as your Golfer's Elbow heals. During your first treatment, your elbow may feel quite warm. This is because your circulation is poor at first. The more you use the device, the less warming sensation you will feel. This is good. As the warmth lessens from treatment to treatment, this is an indication that the circulation in your elbow is improving. Better circulation means more blood flow all the time, not just during treatments. This is the goal. When you feel very little warmth during a treatment, it is time to move up to the next power level. Don't rush it though, more heat does not mean better treatment. In fact, less heat means better treatment, so take your time moving up in levels.
Heating pads are not the same as BFST® Wraps. Heating pads are only consumer grade products, not high quality medical devices like BFST® Wraps. They also don't have the ability to heal soft tissue injuries like BFST® Wraps can. Heating pads only heat the surface of the skin, while BFST® devices actually stimulate blood flow deep below your skin to actively heal soft tissue damage. Heating the surface of the skin does nothing to heal the damaged tissue below the dermal (fat & skin) layer. BFST® treatments promote healthy blood flow to the area of your injury, creating an ideal environment for healing. Heating pads can't do this.
The Energy Web® of the Golfer's Elbow BFST® device is enclosed in a soft, comfortable neoprene wrap. The wrap shapes the Energy Web® to mold around the complex form of the elbow to ensure that there is an even distribution of energy over the entire injured area. The wrap is opened and closed using attached Velcro® straps that guarantee a perfect fit. The wrap and unwrap design also allows for easy application to a tender, injured elbow. After treatment, the wrap does not need to be removed. The straps can be further tightened to provide snug support and protection for the injured elbow. The device disconnects at the wrap from the power supply and controller so you are free to move around your home when not receiving treatment, while still wearing the wrap for support and comfort. The device is incredibly comfortable to wear.
