Tennis/Golf Elbow?

I was doing some holiday shopping on Amazon and ran across this product.  If you struggle with tennis or golf elbow, this product is for you! A lot of elbow pain comes from muscle tightness in the forearm. This is why a lot of people with tennis elbow wear a brace on their forearm. The brace places pressure on the forearm muscles and that in return relieves the muscle pull on the elbow.
"A tennis elbow brace places pressure on the forearm muscles, which in return relieves pain in the elbow."
While a brace works to relieve the pain while wearing it, it doesn't work on fixing the real issue. Massage/myofascial release targeting the pressure points in the forearm will produce lasting results. I've personally suffered from tennis elbow from playing a lot of disc golf. My solution would be to put pressure on the tight spot (trigger point) on my forearm then flex the elbow back and forth. This product is another excellent way to reduce muscle tightness and ultimately elbow pain.
Rolflex™ Foam Roller
Place your arm in the Rolflex and using a massaging motion, roll back and forth over the trigger point. Do this for 1-5 minutes a few times a day. Overtime, the pain in the elbow will reduce and potentially disappear. This can also be down before/after a disc golf round.

It's not the cheapest tool. Runs roughly $60 on Amazon. But it can always be used on other body parts such as thigh, calves, shoulders, neck, and feet. It's versatile and portable.
