Athletic Performance and Protection

Athletes use form-fitting compression wear to keep their muscles warm, which can prevent muscle strain and fatigue. These garments can also keep body parts in place, help prevent injuries and enhance athletic performance.

The Evolution of Compression Bodywear

Compression garments have been used throughout the ages to support, reshape, and accelerate healing to the body. Modern technology and advanced, high-tech fibers have allowed us to derive benefit from these devices without sacrificing comfort and convenience.

The best quality garments are usually designed by medical professionals that have advanced knowledge of the human body and anatomy. They will offer better comfort, fit, and benefits than cheaper, off-the-rack models, and are generally safer.

Injury Prevention

Some people use compression vests and girdles to prevent back strain and injury. These are particularly effective in offering protection while performing tasks that require heavy lifting or bending.

Body Shaping and Weight Management

Also popular are various types of compression shapewear, also known as body shapers. These garments redistribute body tissue with the purpose of reshaping the body. Most common are corsets, waist cinchers, and girdles, but full-body shapers are increasing in popularity.

Medical and Post-operative Care

Physicians often recommend compression garments for post-operative recovery. These garments are designed to provide support to the areas affected by surgery, improve blood circulation, and assist in patient recovery.

Selecting a Properly Fitting Garment

Compression garments are widely available in stores and online, and vary widely in cost and quality. The purpose for which you will use the garment is an essential part of the decision making process. Though you generally can’t go wrong with a quality, well-constructed garment, compressionwear intended for post-surgical use should be discussed with a medical professional.
