I'm in good shape but recent surgery left me with the need for high abdominal support when I work out. Is the compression firm?

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

This product is great for supporting your knees for a short time during intense exercise. If your looking for somthing for all day use, i would recommend getting a compression sleeve. They are comfortable and easy to put on and maintain.

I don't believe so. It is firm, but comfortable. I used it when I was recovering from bypass surgery. It worked well.

You should be sized by your doctor. That way you are sure to get the correct size, as well as the right amount of compression. If there is too much compression, it can be really painful.

I'm not sure this will be the right product for you. It does provide compression it is minimal the closer to the wrist you go. I bought this for my son who plays football and uses it to prevent turf burn. If you needed compression higher like elbow area I would say yes.

I am not exactly sure how you define compression but I wear them all the time to crossfit and they they stay in place (a couple of inches higher than mid-shin) during the entire hour of a strenuous crossfit workout. I also never feel that they are so tight that they cut off circulation. So I think they are perfect. I hope this answers your question

yes, they are soft enough to conform to any shape and give support that way. I sleep on my stomach as well, but actually less on my stomach since I bought these pillows. What they aren't good for is someone looking for rigid support, a harder surface, or a boost up sitting. I bought two. They continue to be the best pillow for my needs. Certainly price for quality is good.

"good support"? more like good compression and good at keeping alignment. But as a true support, not so sure, you'd probably want something more sturdy/velcro action. But if you've got a relatively healthy knee and want a feel good safeguard, I'd say this would do the job. If you're coming back from injury or have knee pain or weakness, then you'll probably want something more substantial. In my unprofessional opinion ;)

I believe it might provide support when new, but don't know how it might break-in. They have one specifically labeled "firm". For my weight (220) there was no cush for my tush.

It is not too firm...It melds into my body, so it gives me support, but is not stiff.

I didn't get it because of any surgery....I got it because I have knee problems and I didn't want to have to bend my knees so much. I can't really answer. When I had knee surgery, I had portable with rails to help push up with...never having had tummy tuck, I can't really advise. Hope it goes well.!

That's up to you. For my clients that I train, I encourage them (as my trainer did when I first got one) to wear it all the time. Especially when you sleep and work out. The more you wear it, the more effect it will have. Consider also using a salve like Preparation H on your stomach underneath it as well.

It's very firm! Beware if you want it to cushion...it's very supportive and not cushiony.

I wouldn't say it's super supportive. I gave up using it because it had to be tight to provide support and then I just constantly felt like I had to pee because it was tight.

I found the decompression belt to be ineffective. In fact I sent it back. I get much better results from a Proflex # 1650 compression belt used for lifting at work. At under $18.00 the price was certainly right. My belt is a size Large (have a 38" waist size in pants), your wife may need something smaller. It has definitely helped me. I have some scoliosis, bulging disc and vertebrae out of place in lower back.

The compression helps keep swelling down and supports your foot too. I think this would help you very much

Yes. I pull them tight but I have to allow for circulation. I had no idea the thing would be this big and heavy. I am using it by just laying it on my knee while I am lying down.
