Benefits of compression garments
Possible benefits of high quality compression garments may include:
- improved recovery after exercise due to reduced localised swelling
- improved performance through reduced muscle oscillation
- enhanced agility through better proprioception
- reduced injury risk through muscle containment and wrapping
- improved circulation leading to faster muscle warm-up and improved oxygen circulation.
A quality compression garment may also assist during travel to lower the risk of blood clots, and to reduce the stiffness associated with long haul flights.
