Running

Why is knee, ankle and foot support needed when running?

When you run, your bones and joints are subjected to great forces, especially during long distances or intense interval training. Common running injuries include runner's knee, pain on the inside or outside of the knee, overstressed ankles and shins, and swollen or tired calves and feet. By using protection and compression products, you get extra support for your joints and muscles – it reduces the risk of injury and helps you keep your training going without unnecessary interruptions.

When should you use protection and compression products?

You can use support and compression products both preventively and when problems arise. For example, if you notice tenderness on the outside of your knee, stiffness in your calf or a recurring feeling of fatigue in your feet – then it's time to get help from a protector or a compression stocking. Even during recovery periods after a sprain or overuse, these products provide faster healing and reduce the risk of new injuries.
