What is Compression Wear?
You may have noticed them while watching sports on TV. Those sleeves on the arm of football players or the knees of Tennis pros.
Compression apparel is here to stay.
And isn’t just for the athlete. At Tommie Copper, we have designs for the young and the old.
For the active adult who wants to prevent rashes or chafing, ease muscle stiffness and quicken muscle recovery after workouts
OR
For the seasoned adult with poor circulation who needs help standing longer or walking further than expected. Compression can also prevent swelling and muscle soreness and has been prescribed to help prevent deep vein thrombosis.
OR
For the young adult who wants to avoid any early muscle injuries or strains while playing and training hard for what lies ahead. Compression apparel also helps with the behavior of autistic children.
How does it work?
Compression apparel is made with a tight elastic that holds its shape and aids in circulation. Muscles need oxygen. Oxygen is carried in the blood. So better circulation means more oxygenated muscles and better muscle capability.
Jessica Hill M.S.c., Exercise Scientist authored a review of Compression apparel published in the 2013 British Journal of Sports Medicine. It concluded that people who wear compression garments after their exercise sessions experience less soreness and faster muscle recovery than people who wore a more traditional gym outfit, like a t-shirt and shorts.
When you work a muscle group hard, it can become inflamed. She explains:
“When we experience an inflammatory response we get an increase in fluid and white blood cells to the affected area. This leads to swelling and increases in pressure, and therefore pain”.
Compression garments “work” by constricting your muscles. That reduces the amount of fluid buildup, decreasing the swelling and pressure.
“Compression garments also may increase blood flow to the muscles, which removes creatine kinase, an enzyme in your muscles that leaks out after muscle damage and can cause the ache.” (1)
More plainly? Compression apparel can make life a heck of a lot easier. Mitch S. a customer of Tommie Copper explains…
“I am almost 50, I have had knee problems my entire life. I have tried every brace imaginable, and aside from the $500 to $1000 braces nothing else works. I bought the Tommie Copper Brace for kicks n’ giggles, I had no hope in it working. To my shock, this thing works! I thought it was my imagination, so I stopped wearing it for a couple of days, and the pain was back, intense and almost crippling. I work at a marina, and I am on my feet most of the day and without the Tommie Copper Knee Sock, my work sucks.”
