How Tenease works - the research
Epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is a common cause of elbow pain, characterised by pain over the outer side of the elbow, which may radiate down the forearm. Despite the names Tennis and Golfer's Elbow, epicondylitis does not just afflict tennis or golf professionals. In fact, this common elbow problem affects around 3% of the population and is most often associated with work related activities. Although racquet sports are more prone to the condition, they account for only 10% to 15% of all sufferers and epicondylitis is equally common in men and women, usually between the ages of 30 and 50.
The Tenease device generates high-frequency, mechanical vibration as opposed to electromagnetism, electrical current or shockwaves. It is known that pain is transmitted as impulses in the large sensory fibres of the body and by applying a certain frequency of vibration to the area of pain, it interacts with the pain impulse transmissions, causing disruption. The vibration is effectively 'scrambling' the sensory impulses to the extent that they cannot be interpreted as pain signals by the brain.
It is also reported that high-frequency, mechanical vibrations, applied locally to an injured tendon, may stimulate the formation of new blood vessels. This increases the blood supply to the afflicted tendon and associated muscles and joints, potentially accelerating recovery, although this has yet to be clinically substantiated.
Several studies have investigated the use of vibration therapy to treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain in various parts of the body. The published study 'Pain Alleviation by Vibratory Stimulation', by Lundburg, Nordemar and Ottoson from Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, shows that vibration therapy is an effective treatment for both chronic and acute pain. It also shows that it is more effective in relieving Tennis Elbow pain than TENS.

Success Stories
"Before Tenease, I had pain constantly and was dropping cups and found it difficult to work as a surgical theatre nurse. I tried Tenease and found I had relief of pain. The pain relief lasted for four to six hours after using the machine for ten minutes. I feel Tenease has helped improve my tennis elbow and I'd recommend Tenease to other suffers." Mr. Marcus Ender, Orthopaedic team leader
"I had tennis elbow that was increasingly painful despite anti-inflammatories. Increasingly desperate for help, I tried the Tenease. I found it easy to use and within a few days my arm felt better for the first time. I carried on using it regularly and by about 2 months was symptom free again at last." Gary Yarwood - Guernsey
"I have suffered with Tennis elbow for the past ten years or so and have been using an electrical impulse device purchased via a newspaper advertisement to relieve the symptoms. I tried Tenease and after just 2 months the mobility within the elbow joint has fully returned and the pain has disappeared. The reason I believe this has happened so quickly is that the portability and simply nature of the Tenease meant not having to rely on regular appointments for treatment or spend hours sitting with a plugged in unit, as I was able to treat the problem whilst going about my daily tasks. Great Device." Tony Veron - MD, Office Projects
After using the Tenease machine for approximately one month I have experienced quite an improvement with my Tennis Elbow. Grip strength has improved, also the range of arm movement without pain feels so much better. Mornings were a bad experience due to my elbow being seized and painful to get mobile. About 7 out of 10 mornings are now free of this problem. If this level of improvement continues I will be very happy. I use Tenese 3 times a day, sometimes more, and will continue to do so. D S Torode - St Sampsons.
"Having fallen foul of both tennis and golfers elbow on both arms I have suffered considerable pains for the past 10 years. Treatments have included cortisone injections, acupunture, tens machines and all manner of physiotherapy. I manage to have a sports massage every two weeks even now. One use of the tenease on the most painful of my arms and I have only had to use it again once in the last two weeks! The pain has gone from everywhere, what a miracle after all these years. I can even type faster now. Would anyone like to buy a almost new tenease?" Linda Shaw, Wakefield.
Good service, no quibble, and my tennis elbow which plagued me for 12 months has now gone and I can now train again handling weights of up to 350lb. Tenease works.Gary Nock, Halesowen.
I am very happy with the device. I have had tendonitis for a year and still get some pain and discomfort if I over use my arm. I have found that the Tenease device really relaxes my arm and takes away this discomfort. I only use it once per day, normally in the evening while watching TV. I am a sailing and kayaking instructor so the device will get a good work out this summer - I could not work last season due to my injury (which was caused by too much painting!)Lesley Singleton, Murcia, Spain
I found Tenease to be very good, suffering from tennis elbow for over a year and at last I am able to work without any pain. Every now and then I put it back on but overall I am very happy with TeneaseJason Warne, Swindon
I have used the device for about a month and the pain has more or less totally gone. Just get a few twinges now and again. Worked so well that I have lent it to a friend as he has tennis elbow and also recommended to another friend who actually bought the device and his pain has eased alot too. Brilliant device.....thank you Maria Jaques, St. Peter Port
"As with most treatments I was skeptical about its effectiveness but this really eased my pain. I am the worst when it comes to taking medicines/vitamins etc. As soon as the symptoms ease or abate I forget to follow thru and complete the course. Tenease has been so effective I forget to use it as directed. My pain was gone after 2 weeks. So now, and because they prescribe 10 minutes 3 times a day, I leave it on in my car seat and use it every time I get in the car. The relief has been fantastic. For example, at night I would wake up continuously with pain in my elbow (I sleep with my arms crossed or bent most of the time). I can't remember when last I woke up in pain. This device works!!"Craig Eldridge - Florida
I am pleased to say my Tennis Elbow condition has improved and I would recommend using Tenease to my friends or family. The pain relief was instant.Heather Clark - Southport
"I ordered my Tenease unit as a last resort, shy of surgery. I have used pain meds, had cortisone shots, and performed strengthening exercises over the past 6 months with very short-term relief overall. My lack of strength in my one arm was hindering my ability to function. I was, to be honest, skeptical. However, after only a couple weeks of use, I can already feel the positive effects on my elbow. My grip has improved drastically and the chronic pain level has signficantly decreased, particularly within the first 2-3 hours after I use my Tenease. And the nighttime pain, which often made it difficult or impossible to sleep, has all but disappeared. Additionally, the customer service has been as good as it gets! I would recommend this device and this company very highly."Cami Helmuth, Santa Barbara, California
I was at work one day and out of know where my elbow was hurting so bad I could not keep it straight. I had to leave early that day because I am a Police Officer and I was in to much pain to finish my shift. I had to get an injection of cortizone, it felt better but the pain came back. The pain would come and go, not knowing when it would strike. I went to a specialist and that's when he said I have a condition called a Tennis Elbow. I then would experience pain more frequently from then on. April 11, 2010, I was so much pain I could not sleep on the right side or sleep without a brace or pillow to help ease the pain. I just got up went on the computer and found the first thing and clicked on it. It was your website called tenease.com. I read it all the way through and I could not wait to try it. What really sold me was that a person was taking his time out tpo find a solution to ease the pain of millions. When I recieved it in the mail, I tore the package up and put it together and pushed the green button. I notice relief in about a couple of hours. I then noticed the pain was subsiding everytime I had used it. I am e-mailing you as we speak and I can rest my elbow on my chair, it feels good. I have to admit this device is making my elbow feel better and better. Please keep me posted on anything else relating to the tennis elbow. Thanks to Mr. Ranjan Vhadra and all who had anything to do with the device. I am thankful that some cares and I wasn't scammed.Michael Harris, Waldorf, Md
I have a Tenease device and it did relieve the arm/elbow pain, chiefly the result of playing the clarinet, pushing my aeroplane, lugging tools etc. After some weeks it went altogether. Q. Oswell, Leighton Buzzard
Tennis Elbow is caused by tendon strain through repetitive movement and a lack of inflamation of the tendon around the Lateral Epicondyle, the prominent bony part of the elbow.
Strap the Tenease device to the elbow so its held firmly in place situated directly over the source of the pain and press the button to activate the device. 
The Tenease unit activates for 10 minutes and provides treatment direct to the source of the pain. High frequency vibrations penetrate deep into the elbow to stimulate blood flow for repair and block pain signals to the brain.
