Are any of you out there dealing with shin splints or calf cramps while or after working out?
I remember when I was pregnant, specifically, my ankles would swell so badly-especially while working out. It was actually quite painful at times. Someone had told me about the use of calf compression sleeves, but I never really gave it much thought.
Nowadays after baby, I have been getting tons of shin splints whenever I run or do my cardio. I am not sure if my body's circulation has completely changed after birth or what, but it sucks!
Thankfully, I have finally found a solution. I decided to give the calf compression sleeves a try and chose Physiofinity. After reading a lot on their brand and their product, I felt pretty confident and excited to try them out!
As soon as I put them on, my legs immediately felt lighter. It was quite lovely! I started running on my incline trainer and surprisingly my calves no longer hurt when I raised the incline level. I was shocked and relieved!
I never really understood calf compression sleeves so I never gave them a try. It is such a shame that I am just NOW using them because they would have been SO helpful during pregancy!!!
The primary benefits of calf compression sleeves:
- Reduces Shin Splint Pain
- Decreases Recovery Time
- Increases Warm Up Speeds
- Prevents Calf Strain
- Minimizes Lactic Acid Build-Up
- Relieves Heavy Aching Legs
- Reduces Calf Cramps
- Increases Circulation
How the calf compression sleeves work:
- You wear both compression sleeves on your lower legs or calves. You can wear them under your pants or shorts-however, you would like.
- The lower portion of the sleeve, near the ankles, creates a funnel-like effect with decreased compression as you move towards the top of the sleeve.
- This effect moves de-oxygenated blood from the lower legs back to the heart more quickly, which boosts circulation - increasing the rate at which oxygenated blood flows into your muscles. This reduces the effects of fatigue, aids in faster recovery and decreases muscle soreness post workout.
My husband and I both love our Physiofinity calf compression sleeves. It is great knowing that there is a lifetime guarantee on these and I do plan on using them especially during my next pregnancy to help reduce the swelling and pain in my legs as I workout (and in general)!
