Benefits of Neoprene for Calf Supports
Using neoprene for calf supports has the following benefits:
Flexibility and Comfort
Neoprene is a flexible material that conforms to the shape of your calf. It provides a comfortable fit without restricting movement.
Heat Retention
Neoprene retains body heat, which helps to increase blood flow to the injured area. This reduces pain and promotes faster healing.
Compression
Neoprene supports provide consistent compression, which helps to stabilize the calf muscle, reduce swelling, and support the muscles and ligaments.
Durability
Neoprene is a highly durable material that resists wear and tear, making it ideal for long-term use in sports supports. Its resilience ensures that the support maintains its effectiveness over time.
Overall, neoprene provides a combination of comfort, support, and therapeutic benefits. Chronic tendon injuries in particular benefit from heat when recovering from injury.
