Hello. I have a question about the product. Is it for use when I play sports? Or it is used for the recovery of an injury while not playing sports?

Hello, the answer is: Both. Better if you use them before injuries while playing sports, but if you have any injury you can use them for recovery and avoid the pain of walk and misstep. Regards...

I use the product for everyday use. I have very weak ankles. The ankle braces have held up good for me. I don't know how it would work for sports. They was showing it with a volley ball player.

It's used for play sports. I use specifically for mountain races to avoid sprains.

Personally I used the brace for support while playing basketball. It was relatively comfortable and gave me a lot of side-to-side stability while still allowing full forward and backward movements.

It can be used when playing sports but I found the more effective brace is the type that laces up, has two straps that wrap around the ankle and has stiff stays along the side of the ankle. Search my other reviews and you will see the one I use while playing sports. Hope this helps!

I use mine for racquetball after a torn rotator cuff. I like it. It seems to give the needed support.

I use it to work out. I had rotator cuff surgery sometime ago and think it could have been helpful. The one I used then from my orthopedic surgeon was more restrictive to help the healing process. Hope this helps.

Mainly used for weightlifting exercises (squats, deadlifts) to support your back and abdomen. Some also use it during heavy lifting at work etc. for support as mentioned earlier.

I sprained my ankle pkaying basketball, and once it was healed although to get back out there I wore this for added assurance. I still wear it whether I play tennis, bball or any other sport that requires quick lateral movement. Highly recommend this product as a preventative brace.

I have used it during boot camp, didn't really do what I needed. However, I found out I have a torn tendon, so I have a boot cast on which is helping. I figured when it heals I can go back to this for support.

I believe it would be good for that. However, it depends on how severe your condition is. I have found that it keeps things in place very well and comfortably, and it kept my knee from hurting during physical activity. Also if you wear it during physical activity it will significantly reduce the chances of getting water on the knee, and n last a lot longer without fatigue or pain. If you find that you need to wear it all of the time, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

This is to protect teeth during sports (such as martial arts) not to fix teeth. This product is very soft and used over braces. This is not for orthodontic treatment

I'm sorry, this was a gift for my son. He uses it around the house, not while playing sports. But I just asked him and he said no. This is his second, I bought a 3rd for backup and he loves it.

I've used the product on lingering muscle sores and achy joints. I think a sprain is a small tear, which may require time to heal. I'd leave it alone. Or better yet, have it checked. Skip the creams for now.

I am not sure if the wrap is a cure for a meniscus injury yet? I think I have a small meniscus injury and I can say this wrap has been incredibly helpful. I use it five times a day with ice. I can say that am really grateful for this wrap. I was in so much pain before I found it and now after using this wrap I have gotten rid of the pain and swelling. The reason I cannot say it can heal a meniscus tear is because I am still not sure if this type of injury and be healed without surgery. I am hoping so but I don't have enough information yet. Bottom line this is a fantastic tool for a joint injury or muscle pain.

This McDavid Shoulder support would work fine. I use it after exercise to warm up an injured shoulder. It allows me to keep moving but bring additional warmth and light support to my shoulder.

I'm only a user, and I wasn't able to play volleyball without pain(I quit playing for a while). It's working for me, I had that tibeofemoral inestability and now, with the Knee Suppport, I don't have to be worry about my knee when I play volleyball. Of course is better to ask a profesional about this.

It can't hurt- active recovery mode is designed to bring blood through the muscles and flush toxins. Tendinitis is not muscle related, and is an injury as I understand it, only gets better by rest. I hate to hera that, but had the same with my elbow from racquetball. Call Hammer Nutrition, they know a lot about the unit
