Athletics

Because athletics demands a lot from the (lower) legs, compression socks have become an indispensable part of the athletics world. As an official partner of the Athletics Union, Herzog Medical provides the recovery products of the Dutch top.

Athletics is an ancient sport where athletes perform individually or in groups. The sport of running is currently extremely popular. Young and old enjoy running. This applies to both the avid competitive runner who trains almost daily to improve performance and the recreational athlete who runs a leisurely lap a few times a week. The colorful collection of Herzog compression socks are popularly worn while running. In addition to running, long jump, throwing and high jump are also part of Athletics. Because this sport demands a lot from the (lower) legs, compression socks have become an indispensable part of the running scene.

Calf, Achilles tendon and shin complaints

In the medical world, the Therapeutic Elastic Compression Sock is used for people with varicose veins or edema (fluid retention) in the legs. They benefit from wearing these socks that closely enclose the lower leg. The experiences among athletes with calf, Achilles tendon and shin complaints or another lower leg injury also point in this direction.

Athlete

On advice, I started wearing compression stockings. The stockings fit tightly and keep the muscles in my lower leg compactly together. This feels like a very tight second skin and as if with every landing all my muscles are held together and protected, so that I feel minimal or no tension in my calves.
