  Injury prevention

  Injury prevention

  Injury prevention is central to living an active life. Injury prevention and activity should go hand-in-hand. Prevention not only includes wearing the right type of preventative gear suited for an active lifestyle, but may also include recovery in-between sets, warm-up and warm-down, stretching, staggering of frequency and dose of exercise, healthy eating, etc.

  Physical activity could very well be our cheapest remedy. Unsurprisingly, a vast amount of research shows that a high rate of physical activity improves the overall health and well-being of populations. In connection to activity, more or less severe injuries may occur, injuries which are often related to overuse. To prevent the probability of any injury occurring, but also to speed-up recovery if it happens, protective supports are of value. Preventative equipment is made for a reason, to prevent initial and recurring injuries. Rehband products are designed to reduce swelling, to protect the user from friction and hits, and to simultaneously provide increased stability and support to joints and muscles.

  Rehabilitation

  Rehabilitation

  Rehabilitation can be described as the process of recovering from an injury, illness or surgery to regain strength or relearn skills. Injury treatment is important in order to reach the level one was at before the injury occurred. This does not mean staying still long enough for an injury to heal, on the contrary, the faster one gets back to exercising after an injury, the faster the recovery process is.

  Rehband supports are designed to support existing injuries, and also to prevent injuries and re-injuries. They help the user in getting back to an active life faster. The functional characteristics of Rehband products relieve pain and discomfort caused by injuries, meaning that a user can keep exercising in his or her sport and aim at returning to the desired level. The combination of compression, warmth and receptive input found in Rehband supports will assist the user to heal and recover strength and can expedite the journey back to prior performance level.

  Stability

  Stability

  Stability can be defined as the ability to utilize the body’s structures in the safest, most efficient positional relationships for the functional demands imposed on them. This is achieved by coordinating actions of surrounding tissues and the neuromuscular system. Along with mobility, posture, body awareness and balance, stability provides the foundation for quality movements.

  Take the knee for example, in order to move your knee back and forth without pain or problems, stability is required to counteract sideways movements, which reduces the risk for joint injuries. The functions of compression and receptive input in Rehband supports help activate the muscles which increase stability in the joints, without compromising flexibility. In addition, they provide greater relief to the user by making these small adjustments.
