Problem: Article: Read the manufacturer’s instructions to familiarize yourself with your brace. The directions will describe the different parts of your brace and how it should be worn.. When in doubt, defer to the manufacturer’s instructions over these directions, which are suited to most braces but not all. Undo the hook-and-loop fastener straps holding the brace together, and pull the opposite sides of the brace apart. The brace should be open so you can slide it over your arm easily. Thread your hand and forearm into the brace. Pull the brace up your forearm until the top of the supportive strap is approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) below your elbow. If the brace has a forearm splint in it, rotate the splint side so it is positioned on the thumb side of your arm. Move the brace so the cushioned area that will support your tendon is on the top of your forearm facing outward. This usually means that the strap compressing the tendon will be secured on the underside of your forearm Depending on the brace, this tendon cushion may be an air pack or foam. Use the adjustable strap to pull the brace snug now that it is in the proper position. You should be able to grip a racket—or make a fist—without the brace restricting your circulation. However, the brace should also be tight enough so it doesn’t move around on your arm. Attempt the activity that causes you pain while wearing your brace. If it feels a little tight, loosen it. If it feels like it isn’t giving you enough support, try tightening it. Adjust the brace so you feel the most relief. Wear your brace when performing your painful activity or while going about your entire day if you want more support. Wearing a brace will not hurt you, unless you’ve put it on incorrectly. If you feel unsure about putting a brace on yourself, consult a doctor, tennis pro, or physical therapist. They can all help you feel confident about wearing your brace.
Summary: Read the manufacturer’s directions. Open up the brace. Slip the brace onto your arm. Position the elbow brace with the tendon cushion facing out. Tighten the brace until it is snug but not uncomfortable. Make any adjustments for comfort, as needed. Wear the brace whenever you need additional support.

Problem: Article: Encircle the baby's thigh with your thumb and forefinger. Gently stroke their leg from their thighs down to their feet, then rub their feet with your thumbs. Curl and uncurl their toes. Repeat with the other leg, then gently bend and unbend the knees at the same time.  You can start with any part of the baby's body. Many like to start with the legs and feet in order to help the baby transition from play time to calm time more easily. The baby may kick and squirm, having fun as you massage their legs and feet. Remember to be very gentle; don't pull on their legs or exert too much pressure as you bend their knees. If they straighten their legs in protest, don't force them to bend them. This part of the massage has the most profound calming effect. Start by massaging their chest from the center outward, away from the heart, smoothing your hand over their skin as though you were smoothing open the pages of a book. Then, massage their tummy in a clockwise rubbing motion. This mimics the path of digestion. Keep doing this part of the massage until your baby seems calm.  Remember that if you're massaging as part of playtime, you can make your baby feel stimulated by massaging your baby's chest toward the heart, rather than away from it. Be careful not to tickle your baby's belly as you massage it. Use your fingers to make circles on their head. Gently “walk” your fingers across their forehead and cheeks, and draw a smile on their lips. Steer clear of the eyes and nose, since massaging too close to these areas might make them uncomfortable. Gently turn your baby over so they're lying on their stomach. Massage their back by smoothing your hands from the center of their back outward. Don't grip their shoulders and knead as you would an adult's; instead, use circular motions to rub their shoulders and lower back.
Summary:
Massage their legs and feet. Massage their chest and tummy. Massage their head and face. Massage their back.
