Soft supports use compression and padding to relieve general pains and help you recover from minor injuries. They don’t have rigid parts, making them as comfortable as socks while still providing relief by activating the muscles and massaging painful areas.
FAQ
How do braces and support work?
Supports are medical aids that can relieve and prevent pain in muscles, tendons and joints, due to overuse, for example. Unlike pain-relieving medication that is administered to the body, supports are applied externally and are better tolerated as a result.
Long-term companions – medicines, ointments, tapes – are all disposable. However, your support only needs to be washed regularly to ensure it works well consistently.
What is the function of the knitted fabric?
The compression knit encloses your body elastically but tightly. When you move, your muscles alternately tense and relax creating a massage effect, promoting the circulation and healing areas subject to excessive strain.
In addition, the close-fitting knitted fabric activates the sensors on your skin and in tissue. These sensors send information about your posture and spatial movement to the brain, and the brain then sends information back to the muscles to correct your posture and improve coordination.
What is the function of the gel pad?
On the one hand, the function of the gel pad is to reduce the compression pressure of the knitted fabric at the bony protrusions, while on the other hand, it changes shape with muscle movement and increases the massage effect of the knitted fabric.
