These instructions could also help you:

Tennis elbow

With this application you can stabilize the in- and outside of your elbow and activate the surrounding muscles.

Outer wrist

A complex structure of tendons, cartilage and muscles support the outside of the wrist. Strain and injuries of the TFCC can cause pain.

Carpal tunnel

The medianus nerve and tendons of your forearm flexors run through a thin canal at the inside of your wrist. As soon as the canal gets too thin, this can lead to pain and muscle atrophy.
