Pinpoint Pressure Applied To Calf And Shin Area

For the first time, with the Zensah® Calf/Shin Sleeve, pinpoint pressure is applied to the calf and shin area. Until now all Calf/Shin Splint-Calf Compression Sleeves were made with a flat fabric. The Zensah® Calf and Shin sleeve was developed with input from professional athletic trainers, and professional athletes.

The Calf/Shin Splint sleeve is designed with a chevron ribbing or inverted "V" in the front.

The chevron pattern is the same taping schematic used by athletic trainers to help prevent shin splints. The back of the sleeve provides specific compression and support for the calf. The deep groove ribbing helps increase blood circulation getting oxygen to the muscles faster. The first compression sleeve to provide dual action support.

• Ribbed compression provides pinpoint supports to the shins and calves
• Silver Ion help regulate skin temperature
• Moisture wicking, anti-bacterial and ultra-breathable Zensah Fabric®

The Zensah® Calf/Shin Sleeve is made from proprietary Zensah Fabric® which is anti-bacterial, and moisture wicking. Most of the compression calf sleeves on the market today are made from non-breathable neoprene or latex which can cause the skin and muscles to overheat, and to 5% of users rashes and blistering. Athletes who wear the Zensah® Calf Shin Sleeve will eliminate these risks while wearing the most comfortable sleeve in the world.

"This will revolutionize what athletes, athletic trainers and sports therapists use to enhance their performance." states Ryan Oliver Director of Marketing. "Zensah seeks to relieve the pain and get athletes back to focus on their training. The Zensah calf sleeve is the first dual action sleeve, and we expect this to be the product of choice for runner's, basketball players and any other athlete.

The Technology:
• The sleeve extends from the ankle to below the knee
• Graduated levels of compression start at the ankles with the heaviest amount of compression and lessen towards the top.
• Forces the blood flow back into the calf alleviating lactic acid accumulation
• Eliminates muscle exhaustion from restricted blood flow Allows oxygen to circulate

If you have shin splints, try the R.I.C.E. method for self-care — rest, ice, compression, elevation.

• Rest. Avoid activities that cause pain, swelling or discomfort. But don't avoid all physical activity. Instead, give yourself relative rest. That means reducing the duration and frequency of your high-impact athletic activities. Just how far you cut back depends on the severity of your pain. For a while, you may need to switch to low-impact exercises, such as swimming, bicycling or water running. If your shin pain is severe and causes you to limp, you may need to use crutches until you can walk normally without pain. When you resume your activities, ease back into them. If you don't, your symptoms may return.
• Ice. For at least several days after injury and as long as there is any swelling, apply an ice pack to the painful area for 15 minutes several times a day. Cold reduces pain, swelling and inflammation in injured muscles, joints and connective tissues.
• Compression. Compress the area with a compression sleeve to help control swelling and improve symptoms. A compression sleeve is especially helpful if sore muscles are the main cause of your pain. If you use an elastic bandage, don't wrap it too tightly or you may hinder circulation. Begin wrapping at the end farthest from your heart. Loosen the wrap if the pain increases, the area becomes numb or swelling is occurring below the wrapped area.
• Elevation. To reduce swelling, elevate the injured area above the level of your heart, especially at night. Gravity helps reduce swelling by draining excess fluid.
