Who should use the brace?

The R&M Brace: The radial and median nerve protection brace, may improve chronic and persistent neck, shoulder or arm pain if one or several of the following factors are present in the day to day  pain reactions: 
If a bent elbow posture eases the neck, shoulder or arm pain when sitting. 


If walking with the hand tucked into a jacket pocket or inside the belt of trousers is more comfortable than swinging the arm by the side when walking. 

If the pain is reproduced or significantly increased through the the application of the median and radial nerve loading tests. Particularly if the pain is reproduced very 'early' in the range of the test. 

If the pain provoked by reaching forwards or out to the side.

If the pain is provoked by carrying objects with the arm by the side and elbow straight (extended). 
If the pain is provoked by seemingly trivial arm movements and activities.
If the pain is easily aggravated and then lasts for hours or days

If all attempts at exercise to try and improve strength and flexibility (and the pain) only result in significant increases in pain. 
If attempts to use nerve 'gliding' and other exercises to reduce nerve sensitivity have not improved the pain.
