When to See a Doctor
Compression supports recovery but doesn't treat injuries. See a doctor for sharp pain, swelling in one leg, warmth, redness or anything that feels like more than normal soreness.
Make Recovery Routine
Athletes recover best with consistency. Ask about memberships, packages and current deals to make it easy to come in after every big day. See How Often Should You Use Compression Therapy?
