I have just a small area in my muscle right above my elbow, do you think that this magnetic armband might help?

If by above the elbow you mean towards the tricept and bicept area, then I would have to say probably not. Its size and style only helps support the upper forearm or right below the elbow.

It should be helpful for weak hands. Sounds like you could have carpal tunnel.

It didn't really work very well for me. I had tennis elbow. You might be better off trying some Salonpas gel.

This device stimulates your muscles rather than manipulates them manually as a previous response states. I think this is a wonderful device. It is small and I can take it anywhere. This winter I am back to painless snow shoveling. Previously I would be in pain for weeks following a shoveling event. I move easier and no longer fear the pain which always makes it worse.

Hello Tami B. I would not recommend this particular product. It does not cover a wide range of support or comfort for an athlete with an injured shoulder. The reason is because the material will dig into your shoulder/armpit area. Not comfy. There are posture correction products available that provide wider coverageand comfort which I believe would be most beneficial to you. The price range may be from $14.95 to over $100.00. You may want to look into the magnetic back and shoulder support or something similar to it. Hope you find this info helpful.

I would think so. At least you hand and fingers will be strengthened. You might want to augment it with a resistive rubber band as part of your exercise routine.

Fully extended the armband fits my upper arm tightly. My biceps are 17 1/2 inches. I wear this on my forearm and it is a lot more comfortable.

No, I don't think it'd work for that because the minimum amt of resistance would be too great. It'd be too stiff for me to do finger curls.

This strap was too small to fit around my bicep. I wouldn't consider myself that big. The phone is too big to comfortably fit on the fore arms. If there is something bigger on the market go for it you can always trim down but you cant add cloth. If you are on the smaller side you should be fine

Hi, I actually tried it on my arms and it works. The problem is since it is small and meant for a smaller area, it takes a much longer time. I am actually thinking about purchasing a separate product for other body parts, such as arms and legs.

It can help. It will keep that area of coverage warm and stay in place. Keeping the muscle warm should aid in the aches department I find them beneficial.

This works best on an average man's forearm or higher like his bicep. This could be useful for young adults though.

I would think so. Obviously it would depend on the armband, but the clip is very snug. Sometimes I actually have to open it up to get it onto my waistband. Sometimes I even clip it onto my sports bra strap, which is fairly thin. So yeah, you should be good.

Hi Aziza,This armband will fit arms that are bigger than 9" around. If your upper arm is smaller than 9", then this band will be too loose for you. However, that is pretty small so your arm is likely bigger than that. Just make sure you slide the case along the band to allow you to tighten it fully.Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222Support@mediabridgeproducts.com

yes! I bought mine for exercises. i do a sitting exercise that uses my arms for movement, but you could do what you describe as well.

It may help some. I like it better than ones I got from the doctor. They all can limit the movement of your thumb, but for me this one eliminates a good bit of pain.

and you definately have to wear a shirt underneath since the velcro tabs irritate your skin - no matter how tight I pull it it does not conform to top of my shoulder and I followed all directions, it does help with my posture it seems. I do not feel heat from magnets either and I actually got it wet - no difference. I wish it fit better and I stopped wearing it.
