Injury Prevention and Recovery

Types of injury prevention and recovery tools include:

• Massagers are made to release muscle tension and relieve stiffness
• Compression tools can help aid recovery by reducing swelling and offering support for your muscles and joints
• Recovery footwear are designed to offer relief from activities with repetitive movements like hiking, walking, and running
• Anti-chafing balm offer relief for anyone experiencing hot spots, rash, blistering, irritation or discomfort because of friction

When shopping for injury prevent and recovery equipment, take an intentional approach:

• Consider what you’re shopping for and why. Is the product made to address discomfort you’re feeling or common overuse injuries you’re trying to prevent?
• Once you get your hands on the tool, take notes about when and how you use it. Do you use it before workouts or after? How long will you try the tool before you decide if it’s worth it? Set realistic expectations.
