What does a compression sleeve do?
Compression sleeves are a great tool for those looking to aid injury recovery or for additional support for muscles and joints during workouts and activities. Sleeves work by compressing the limb to help improve blood circulation around the body, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and allowing for more effective drainage of products such as lactic acid, which builds around the muscles and joints during exercise.
When should I wear my compression sleeve?
Sports compression sleeves are designed to be worn throughout a workout, providing additional support and aiding recovery. However, they can also be worn for a few hours post workout to gain additional benefits of reducing muscle soreness and improving recovery.
When should you not wear compression sleeves?
It’s not advised to wear compression sleeves if you have severe circulation issues, as they may restrict blood flow and worsen issues such as Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and other circulatory problems. You should also avoid wearing compression sleeves over open wounds or rashes as they may irritate the affected area further. Always speak to a medical professional if you are unsure whether a compression sleeve would be right for you.
