How do Lastrap Supports work?

Richard | 15 April, 2008 09:07

We get so many enquiries as to how the lastrap supports actually work.
I thought I would blog it all here for everyone to see and read.

There are many, many repetitive strain injury supports on the market but none of them have anything like our Thermovibe Pad inserts (these are the yellow pads that sit inside of the support). It is these inserts that absorb the damaging vibrations that are so very painful. People with the following problems would all benefit from a Lastrap support:

• Back - Pain Relief of stiffness, lumbosacral sprains & strains.
• Leg - Pain Relief of shin splints, calf tendonitis + Achiles Tendon.
• Shoulder - Pain Relief of rotator cuff tendonitis, bursitis, subacromial impingement, arthritis
• Tennis Elbow - Pain Relief of golfers and tennis elbow (epicondylitis), golfers elbow and arthritis
• Wrist - arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrom, lupus, sprains and strains and arthritis
• Knee - Pain Relief + side stabilizers for patella femoral chondromalacia (runners knee) tendonitis, arthritis.
• Ankle - Pain relief for sprained and strained ankles Relieves pain and strengthens muscles Eliminates the need for rest and inactivity and anti-inflammatory treatment

Words are fine but I feel pictures can save a thousand words so below is in pictorial form just how these remarkable supports actually work. In brief the yellow Thermovibe pad warms up to your own body temperature, then goes like a very soft putty, it is this that absorbs those damaging vibrations. No other support has them and this is why Lastrap are prescribed by doctors. OK, enough of the verbal, time to look at some pictures.

Elbow Support (Tennis Elbow)

The Lastrap elbow support sits between the hand and the elbow silently absorbing damaging vibrations. As you can imagine there are a lot of vibrations coming from the hand in day to day life. Most of these will end up in the elbow unless you have a Lastrap elbow support. You can clearly see from the images below that the vibrations are being absorbed by our elbow support.

Shoulder Support

The structure of the shoulder takes quite a beating in day to day life and can become quite painful over time. Playing sport can increase wear and tear by over 1000%. With a Lastrap shoulder support this wear and tear can be reduced to a minimum. Our shoulder support reduces the damaging vibration that cause so much of this pain and wear and tear that doctors actually prescribe it. Only the Lastrap shoulder support reduces these vibrations enough to make a substantial difference.

Knee Support, Knee Brace

All Lastrap supports include our patented Thermovibe pad insert that absorbs the damaging vibrations that cause so much pain. The job of our knee support is to reduce these painful microscopic vibrations that come from the foot and stop them before they reach the knee. This is acheived in our knee support by the use of our special Thermovibe pad insert. No other support has this.

Wrist Support (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)

Our wrist support is unique in the field becuase of it's special Thermovibe pad insert. It is this pad that absorbs the damaging vibrations that cause so much pain. Our wrist support is ideal for issues like carpal tunnel syndrome and, as such, is prescribed by doctors.

Ankle Support, Ankle Brace, Sprained Ankle

Only the Lastrap ankle support has our patented Thermovibe pad inserts that absorb most of the damaging vibrations. It is these vibrations that cause the pain, obviously there are a lot of vibrations travelling up from the foot to the ankle that need to be absorbed and our ankle support has been proven to reduce these by over 40% drastically reducing your pain and increasing recovery. This is why doctors actually prescribe them.

Back Support, Back Brace, Lumbar Support

The Lastrap back support contains a unique, patented Thermovibe pad insert that absorbs a significant amount of the damaging vibrations that cause to much back pain. No other support has anything like these which is why the Lastrap back support is actually prescribed by doctors.

Leg Support, Shin Support

The Lastrap leg support has quite a job to do. It needs to absorb a substantial amount of the damaging vibrations that cause the pain and discomfort. Our leg supports are so effective for treating this type of pain because of their unique patented Thermovibe pads. Only Lastrap has these and this is why the Lastrap leg support is actually prescribed by doctors.
