Although your fitness is improving by leaps and bounds and you have even purchased a new pair of running shoes, you are increasingly experiencing stiff calves. It is also possible that after your daily round through the park or after that tough interval training on the road, you suffer a lot from muscle pain in your lower legs. Fanatical runners often suffer from their Achilles tendon or shin when increasing their kilometers. These are all first signs of starting injuries. You have probably looked on the internet and come across terms such as: whiplash, shinsplints and shin meningitis. All different terms for running injuries. You are certainly not the only one who suffers from this and is looking for a solution. We’ll give you a hand.
Wear Compressionsocks during and after running
By wearing Herzog Sport compression socks while running you help and stimulate your calf muscles. The PRO compressionsocks and compression tubes (socks without foot) deliver a relatively high compression from the ankle to the knee. This firm compression on the lower leg ensures that your calf muscles are kept compact and there are fewer tensile forces on your Achilles tendons and your shin membrane. The result? Muscle damage is limited and you are less likely to suffer from calf complaints and shin injuries. Moreover, you experience much less muscle pain after running.
Do you always want to start your next training fit and rested? Then it is advisable to keep the socks on for a long time after your training. Due to the decreasing pressure profile, the Herzog Compressionsocks stimulate blood circulation so that waste products from the combustion process are removed faster. That way you give your recovery a boost! Please note: use the compression tubes (socks without a foot) only during running and not after. When your legs are in a resting position, there is no compression effect on the foot, but only on the lower leg. Combine these tubes with compression ankle socks for, among other things, preventing irritation of the tendon plate under the foot.
At Herzog Medical, we know that no two athletes are the same. We strive to provide every athlete with the perfect sock. Thanks to our advanced measuring system, you will always receive a compression sock that is precisely tailored to your legs. Use our size app and measure your lower leg at 6 points. That way you are always assured of the perfect fit.
