Are these good to prevent a groin strain?

I've gone running every day since I got them. They feel good and they should prevent any strains. They help keep your muscles warm which will help prevent strains

No. My husbands legs are very swollen and I can't get these on him. Better for ankles...Sorry

I am not a sports medicine expert by any means, however, I find them perfect on uneven ground. They hold your ankle firmly in position. It works for my sprained ankle.

You should feel them, but they should not feel tight and uncomfortable. Snug would be about right. I agree with other answers. Control of swelling is a good sign.

But don't get all careless and think you can just ram it around your groin without some damage. That's a delicate area, and requires some focus and not too much pressure.

From a "functional" perspective, I would say that they can be worn everyday without stretching out -I wear mine usually over night several times per week for recovery and they've kept their shape and elasticity well. I can't speak to whether this is medically appropriate however since these are designed for fitness use, rather than medical use -I would recommend talking with your doctor if you have concerns in this area.

I had pulled my adductor muscles. Felt like a groin pull. This brace helped tremendously. Good luck.

Injuries are such a nuisance! Yes, these should take the strain off your hands and more to the wrist. I'd also suggest keeping your rotator cuff strong too to avoid a shoulder problem - Bulletproof Your Shoulder has some good ex's in it. Happy training!

I think so. I used them several times now. They are easy to adjust and they stay tight.

I think they'd help provide support and stability while playing tennis. They are great for lifting. I wear mine for lifting and some of my plyo and conditioning work. I don't typically wear them for long distance running. Given your recent surgery and the quick changes in direction involved with playing tennis I think these would be beneficial to you.

I'm sure they will be comfortable, but these are one the loose side anyway. So being active with these might not work well for you. I will say even when bending over they have a tendency to fall off. But I have no doubt you will find them comfortable.

While the gloves are thick, I can't say that they would protect your hands from bruises from being bumped. I believe they would cushion the bump but I can't say to what degree. I really like the way they not only keep my hands warm, but they also help with arthritic pain. I personally recommend them for the stiff joints and aches of arthritis. I hope this helps.

Sorry Larissa but I don't think it would work for you. The previous comment says it is "very elastic" I would say it had some give to it but it is made of Neoprene so it is as elastic as putting on a wet suit! I have found that it works well for me to wrap it once around my thigh then around my hips. This allow the best sprort of the groin area. I needed it after a hip surgery and it worked well. Sadly I don't think it will work for you as I wear womens XL and using the previously described wrap method there is very little overlap.

Yes. They're not the hard plastic shields that keep your shirt from rubbing on you, they're very soft flexible silicone and usually you only use one at a time. Hope that helps.

Most agree you're not prone to injury using these. I would keep your rotator cuff strong though - try some of the ex's in the book "Bulletproof Your Shoulder".

These sockes are like dress socks and I read that u can use them at rest and while walking and daily activities...like my husband does. I don't see why you couldn't . I think it would help the swelling and from your legs becoming for fatigued and get better results from the compression. My hubbie sometimes wears regular socks over the compression socks to help reduce any friction. It's up to your comfort level
