How Does Compression Work?
Compression works by applying controlled pressure to muscles and tissues. This helps:
- Support and stabilize joints - keeps everything right where it's supposed to be
- Reduce swelling by encouraging healthy circulation - gently squeezes to prevent blood from pooling in an area
- Minimize muscle vibration and fatigue - prevents muscles from moving around during exercise, which wastes energy and increases injury risk
- Aid in faster recovery after exertion - helps red blood cells and nutrients to get to muscles, while removing harmful byproducts of exercise
