Supports: Support for the masses
David Sanderson, Precision Training national sales manager, talks about its range of Neoprene sports supports.
Precision Training was founded in 2005 with the aim of giving sportsmen, women and children of all abilities accessibility to a range of high-quality professional products.
We have quickly become Britain's number one choice for specialist sports training aids, apparel and medical supplies - from elite professionals through to grassroots level.
Amateur clubs and individuals now have access to the same equipment as the professionals courtesy of the research and development that is carried out in association with Precision Training’s professional sporting partners. This extends to the large range of medical supports that are now readily available in the Precision Training range.
From Neoprene shorts and knee stabilisers to shoulder and ankle supports, the Precision Training range covers them all – indeed the Precision Training athletic support was seen to be covering up some important parts of Jeremy Clarkson during an episode of Top Gear early in 2010. Precision Training Neoprene has been designed to provide support and stability to joints and muscles without restricting natural movement.
This helps to ease pain, reduce inflammation and facilitate the healing process. In sporting practice, these supports can be used for three different purposes namely injury prevention, rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
The Neoprene hinged knee support is particularly popular at this time of year during the ski season and on the heavier ground of the playing fields across the UK. It can help prevent serious knee ligament damage and is often used by people with longstanding injuries such as instability or joint problems, to enable them to participate in sports which they may otherwise not be able to. Supports can also be used as a treatment adjunct during short-term rehabilitation to protect the joint and surrounding soft tissues while they recover fully. This can help reduce the risk of recurrence of injury and time away from sporting activity.
All of our supports enable sportsmen and women to train more effectively by providing a continuous reminder to muscles about the most effective way to work and the more time a sportsperson is able to train, the better they will be able to perform.
In particular the Neoprene hinged knee support is perfect for mild to moderate medial and lateral instability of the knee, cruciate ligament and post-surgery conditions. The compression straps that are built into the support provide the added support and stability.
The medial and lateral support is enhanced by the fibreglass hinges that are incorporated into the knee support – these supports structures are also available to buy separately.
Precision Training medical supports match our philosophy to deliver professional products to all sizes, shapes and abilities and the fact that we can offer a size range from small through to extra large across all major body areas has certainly been a winning feature with the retailers. Our range is accessible in terms of budget and size and stock is readily available with order packages to match.
Neoprene supports are renowned for their benefit in the rehabilitation process but often undersold in the injury prevention market and this is a particularly useful aspect of their function and design.
The Neoprene full shoulder support is a classic example. The all over support speeds recovery from dislocation, rheumatic pain and frozen shoulder but it can also help prevent these injuries occurring initially.
The support from the product, which has adjustable chest and biceps straps, offers significant stability to the joint which in turn helps the muscles to work more effectively without restricting any of the natural movement.
Advice about the use of products should be tailored to meet the individual requirements of each customer but our extensive product range means that there will always be something that is able to short-term.
