How is the Serola Gel Arc Elbow Brace used for Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer’s Elbow)?
00:06
The Serola gel arc elbow brace consists of a patented band and the patented gel arc. Medial Epicondylitis, or golfer’s elbow, occurs when these muscles of the medial forearm pull away from their attachment point, the Epicondyle, causing pain and inflammation.

Other supports simply compress the muscles, causing them to shut down, effectively weakening the muscles and destabilizing the wrist. Instead, the Serola gel arc is placed just below the Epicondyle. It arcs around the Epicondyle to compress the muscles and tendons just before they attach to the bone, effectively creating a secondary attachment point.

This is the key that allows the muscles to function much better, yet stops most of the pull from reaching the Epicondyle. Align the band and gel arc so that the narrow part of the band is in the crook of the elbow and the concave part of the gel arc is facing the Epicondyle.
01:04
Place the gel arc in the pocket so that the ridge side will face the skin. Then pull the gel arc into the pocket. you The buckle should be down, and the narrow part of the band should be as close to the crook of the arm as possible.
01:27
This brings the band higher than other braces, so that the gel arc is strategically positioned around the epicondyle. While contracting your arm, tighten the band firmly. Contraction causes the muscles to enlarge and push the gel arc into the band, so the band is set at its optimal functioning length.

At this point, the gel arc is positioned in the pocket, like so. Now when you contract your muscles, you should feel the gel arc put concentrated pressure just below the epicondyle, and when you relax your arm, the band is comfortable.
