Injury Recovery & Prevention
ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL tears are all devastating sports injuries that can take more than half a year to recover from. Athletes who suffer from these injuries need anything they can get in order to maximize their recovery during their difficult rehabilitation process. Knee sleeves can be great for rehabilitation patients who have finished using their traditional and bulky knee braces but still need additional support for their legs to deal with the continuous and daily stress applied to their legs from activities such as weightlifting, running, or even standing. The most valuable element of the Enerskin knee sleeve are the hi-tech compression of 20 mmHg; it helps keep muscles aligned to prevent muscle fatigue which can result in further injuries, and helps alleviate pain during and after workouts. Enerskin’s compression enhances the blood flow in the muscles, resulting in less swelling during a workout and faster recovery after a workout.
A study in the Korean Journal of Physical Therapy found that compression clothing provided a substantial benefits to ACL recovery patients by helping them improve their strength and balance. Enerskin’s silicone taping compression products enhance users’ proprioception, jumping ability, dynamic balance, and thigh muscle strength. The increased benefits can provide relief and enhance recovery for those suffering from shin splints or runner’s knee. The muscle realignment provided would be great for those in their final stages of their rehabilitation or those who have suffered from these injuries and still have lingering pain or soreness. Using Enerskin knee sleeves can also prevent further damage in these crucial joints, muscles, and ligaments.

The Benefits of Enerskin
Enerskin’s compression knee sleeves aren’t the same as any other knee sleeve. They utilize a unique silicone taping pattern that simulates the effects of therapeutic or kinesiology taping in a reusable form and are easy to use and doesn’t damage your skin like traditional taping would. All Enerskin products are made from a unique fabric called GASTEX®, which combines XTRA life Lycra and other stretchable fabrics for a truly unique fabric. GASTEX® is extremely comfortable, durable, allows for easy mobility and is usable for hours at a time. GASTEX® is also water repellent, and wicks away sweat easily, making it great for water sports or for excessively sweaty activities.
Our patented silicone taping technology utilizes an intricate printing system that prints various cells of silicone directly onto the GASTEX®. This taping allows for our products to utilize dual functionality, based on how they are worn. Wearing the taping on the inside provides enhanced benefits for high intensity activities, while wearing the taping on the outside enables faster recovery and less soreness during low intensity activities and post-workout recovery. This taping system helps prevent one of the most common issues with any knee sleeve, slippage. Slippage can be quite troublesome, but our taping system prevents this by nearly sticking onto your skin.
Performance Enhancement
Most knee sleeves are mainly for injury rehabilitation and prevention, but Enerskin can also be used to enhance the user’s performance. Our compression sleeves help users improve their jumping ability, their muscular force and explosive strength, as well as their speed and endurance. This makes Enerskin great for almost any sports, particularly soccer, basketball, crossfit and cycling. There’s room for benefits for any kind of athlete; if you think this product sounds right for you, there’s a great chance it will help you succeed at whatever activity you need an extra boost in.
