Find out how a Bearhug Elbow Sleeve can help you perform better, recover faster and play for longer.

Wearing an elbow sleeve in basketball provides targeted compression that boosts blood circulation, reduces muscle fatigue, and supports the elbow joint during shooting and passing.
This added stability helps prevent common overuse injuries such as tendonitis, while keeping the joint warm and flexible throughout play
Football
If you’ve recently suffered an elbow injury playing football; whether it be from a collision, heavy fall or overuse (as a goalkeeper) – the Bearhug elbow sleeve will help you continue playing and recover faster.
Providing additional stability to your elbow joint, the sleeve uses compression technology to give you additional protection, support and confidence whilst playing.
Golf
“Golf Elbow” – caused by the repetitive swinging – places significant stress on the elbow joint and causes pain and tenderness on the inside of the elbow.
The Bearhug elbow sleeve relieves pain by delivering critical compression and increased blood flow to the elbow joint; providing support without compromising comfort or performance.
Hockey
An elbow sleeve is a smart addition to your hockey gear; offering muscle support and joint stability through every shift.
Compression improves blood flow and reduces fatigue, making it easier to maintain strength and control throughout high-intensity play. This added support also helps minimize the risk of overuse injuries to the elbow during repeated shooting and checking.
Martial arts and combat sports
Whether you're practising brazilian jiu-jitsu, MMA, boxing, muay thai, judo, or traditional martial arts like karate or taekwondo, your elbows take a beating – from both your opponent and your own movements.
It’s common to pick up hyperextension injuries from arm bars, tendonitis from grappling and general bruises and swelling from contact.
If you’re struggling with any of the above; the Bearhug elbow sleeve is a must-have – applying compression to the elbow joint to provide stability and increased blood flow through the elbow, which is key to accelerating injury recovery or preventing injuries before they arise.

If you’ve recently suffered any of the above, or any other impact related elbow injury; the Bearhug elbow sleeve will help accelerate your recovery – providing much-needed stability, compression and blood flow to the elbow joint.
Tennis
“Tennis Elbow” – caused by overuse of the tendons on the outside of the elbow; creates pain, tenderness and swelling around the exterior of the joint.
