Runners prefer Zensah compressions for shin splints
February 22, 2013 - United States Of America
As spring approaches and runners get back outdoors, runners have turned to Zensah in record numbers looking for help to treat one of the most common running injuries, shin splints. Zensah, a leading compression apparel company based in Miami, Florida, designed the shin splint compression sleeves through working with an athletic trainer to mimic the physiological benefits of athletic tapping methods to help runners treat and recover from shin splints.
The raised micro-ribbing provides support to the calf and shin, while the graduated compression in the sleeves improves circulation, giving runners an innovative and effective shin splint treatment option.
Shin splints (also known as tibial stress syndrome) cause dull to severe aches and pains in front side of the lower leg, and are often indicative of other injuries, such as stress fractures, swollen and irritated muscles, overuse, or over pronation. Runners who do not allow enough time to properly rest and recover between training sessions put themselves at a much higher risk of developing shin splints.
It often takes an extended period of time for shin splints to heal on their own which can disrupt marathon training. Zensah’s Shin Splint Compression Sleeves help eliminate the pain and reduce recovery time so that runners can get back on their training plans as soon as possible.
Zensah customer Christa K. recently used Zensah’s Shin Splint Compression Sleeves to help her treat shin splints and raved, “I was suffering from horrible shin splints for three weeks, and after wearing the one Zensah sleeve on my worst leg for only two days…I saw a HUGE improvement in my pain. I'm so relieved... the sleeves are the reason I'll be able to run my first half marathon in two weeks!”
For those athletes with shin splint issues, Zensah recommends that the athlete also work directly with a medical professional to make sure there are not any serious underlying issues. Some other factors that can help relieve shin splints are new shoes, rest, ice, and elevation. Although there is no definitive cure, Zensah shin splint sleeves come the closest to helping runners treat and recover faster from injury.
Zensah Spokesman, Parker Robinson, says, “Zensah Shin Splint Compression Sleeves not only provide unparalleled support and shin splint treatment, but by being available in 23 colors, they allow runners and athletes to match their favorite workout outfit. Runners can treat their shin splints while having fun with all the different colors.”
