Ten tips to get the most effective use out of your tennis elbow brace (Part 2)
This is part 2 of the blog on Ten tips to get the most effective use out of your tennis elbow brace. If you missed it read Part 1 HERE.

In part 1 we discussed how a brace helps to heal your Tennis Elbow followed by four (out of ten) tips to get the most effective use out of your brace. Here, in part 2 of this blog, we will discuss the remaining six (out of ten) tips to get the most effective use out of your brace. 

#5.Do not sleep on the affected side, keeping it rested in a neutral position besides you. This can be done by keeping your forearm on a pillow next to you. 

#6.Use a cold pack before you go to bed to ease off the inflammation in and around your outer elbow and forearm muscles. 

#7. You can wear a tennis elbow brace while working out, if you have a history of tennis elbow in the past or are currently suffering from one. 

#8.Wearing a brace can also helps if you are lifting heavy weights in the gym for prevention of this condition.

#9.Most braces come with straps that are quite helpful for additional support on the area. They are also helpful if you have a swelling or muscle spasm when you purchase the brace. Once the swelling gradually subsides and your forearm come back to their original girth the straps are helpful in maintaining the snug fit of the brace. 

#10.Elbow braces tend to be lightweight. However, some can be heavier than others. Wear the brace before you buy it to ensure that your forearm can take this weight and you know what to expect.
 
Tennis elbow braces are highly effective in relieving pain and discomfort when worn well keeping all these tips in mind. However, as the pain reduces you should try and wean off the brace gradually. This helps your muscles take over the function of supporting your forearm in daily activities. It is easier to wean off once you have started doing strengthening exercises as a part of your rehab process. If you are dependent on the brace in the long term, the muscles tend to stay weak and there are chances of the tennis elbow getting chronic.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach and a Certified Posture Expert. I use my proven system to help mums of younger kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage their back, neck, and nerve pains, despite low energy levels and brain fog. I do all this without taking away a big chunk of their time out of their already busy day. This enables them to be more productive and capable professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can focus on their kids instead of always being distracted by pain. 



My passion for helping executive mums stems from my own experiences. I have been in the same boat and understand the frustration and helplessness of being in constant pain or being afraid to engage in activities due to the fear of pain. After two pregnancies in the span of three years and juggling my two kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was constantly in pain. The weight gain from motherhood added extra stress to my already overburdened spine and joints. I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss and spinal/nerve pain that I just couldn’t break free from.

On top of the physical pain, I also suffered from adrenal fatigue. I often felt exhausted, waking up groggy even after a full night’s (10 to 12 plus hours!) sleep, and struggled with low energy levels and brain fog. Simple tasks became challenging, and I found myself forgetting things and unable to think clearly. It was incredibly frustrating and made it even harder to balance my professional responsibilities and family life.

My work involved long hours of standing during the day, prolonged hours on the laptop in the evening, and lots of running around and rocking my kids to sleep in between. Despite my knowledge and expertise in pain relief, I still found myself unable to escape the constant daily pain and fatigue.

Sitting at a desk job from 9 to 5, or longer, plus endless meetings that seem to go on forever. The frequent traveling, the uncomfortable hotel pillows that make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep—I’ve experienced it all. I remember not being able to share my discomfort at work because I felt like an imposter, talking about pain relief strategies and focusing on work while I was not able to achieve it myself. I didn’t disclose the extent of my pain and forgetfulness to my colleagues for years. Even though I loved my kids and my job, I couldn’t give 100% to either. The discomfort held me back from reaching my full potential, making me feel guilty as a mum and less productive at work. I felt like I was constantly running on empty, unable to catch a break from the pain and exhaustion.

finally got fed up after years of trying and decided to make a New Year’s resolution to get ‘healthy’ instead of focusing solely on my pain, fatigue, forgetfulness, and weight loss. When I shifted my focus to getting healthier by reducing the inflammation in my body and addressing my adrenal fatigue, the pain started to decrease, my energy levels and focus improved, and the pounds started shedding off too! That, of course, meant a happier spine, nerves, joints, and a happier me! Today, my neck, back, and nerve pain are down to zero, my knee pain has reduced by 75%, my brain fog has reduced drastically and my energy levels are higher than ever. I realized that I had been focusing on the wrong solutions for over a decade!

Now, my mission is to share my knowledge of pain relief and managing adrenal fatigue along with my personal experience with other mums, especially those with younger kids who work in high-stress executive jobs. My goal is to help you find lasting relief, boost your energy, and reclaim your life, just as I did. 

If you can relate to all this, you are not alone. As a mum, I have been there and done that—momma, I got you! I’ve helped hundreds of mums in this situation over the years find their solution to manage spinal and joint pains, low energy levels, and brain fog that hold them back. This enables them to feel confidently in control and empowers them to cultivate that confidence and productivity at work and enjoy being with their kids, to be able to run around with them without the fear of injury or pain.

Are you ready for this journey? Ask me how if you are curious.

Let's DO THIS!
