BioSkin Compression Shorts
There are numerous muscles in the upper leg that work to bend and straighten the knee and hip. During sport and exercise these muscles are put under considerable stress and can become damaged. Not only are the BioSkin Compression Shorts perfect for all-round support when recovering from injury, they boast just as many health benefits for the wearer.
Who Can Make Gains with the BioSkin Compression Shorts?
The BioSkin Compression Shorts have been shown to improve athletic performance and endurance by decreasing muscle vibration. Over time, this saves energy and keeps you from feeling as tired, which can also prevent future injuries. Moreover, BioSkin Shorts can be used for treating the following conditions:
- Bruises
- Hamstring injuries
- Hip flexor strain
- Illofemoral sprain
- Ischiocapsular sprain
- Quad contusion
- Thigh sprain
Benefits of Compression
Compression can help with blood flow to injury and increase the speed at which any swelling is reduced, aiding the muscle with repairing itself. For healthy muscles, a dose of compression can help lessen the strain placed on them after vigorous workouts and reduce chances of cramping.
Available in Three Styles
These Compression Shorts are available in three styles, so you can find the support that would target key areas of injury or pain. They are available with a groin wrap, a cinch strap or no additional support.
- Groin wrap: A long strap support for crossing over the thigh and around the waist, controls the compression applied to groin strain.
- Cinch strap: A strap worn around one thigh, allowing compression control on hamstring injuries.
