Dear Colleague,
Some solutions just
make sense — and Breg’s targeted compression straps are exactly that. Simple, effective, and backed by solid biomechanics,
these small devices deliver big relief for patients struggling with tendon pain.
💡 How It Works — The Science of Targeted Compression
Compression straps use focused circumferential pressure to offload the affected tendon and reduce strain at the point of inflammation.
Here’s what’s happening beneath the surface:
-
The compression pad applies localized counter-pressure to the muscle or tendon group (such as the extensor carpi radialis brevis in lateral epicondylitis).
-
This shifts the stress point proximally, decreasing the force transmitted to the painful tendon insertion.
-
The result? Reduced pain, improved functional movement, and faster return to activity — all without restricting circulation or mobility.
This mechanism aligns with the counterforce bracing principle, supported by clinical literature showing reduced tendon load and improved comfort during activity.
