How Comfortable is the Ultimate Performance Calf Support?
The neoprene blend design provides soothing warmth that helps to quickly reduce pain and promote healing. The strapping allows you to customise the level of compression to ease the pressure on the leg when more comfort is desired.
Can I Wear the Calf Support While Playing Sports?
Yes, the Ultimate Performance Calf Support can be worn while playing sports with minimal loss of movement. The support promotes blood flow during exercise which helps reduce the build up of lactic acid. This prevents cramp and muscle stiffness, and reduces the likelihood of injury to keep your muscles in top working condition.
