Taping is a thing of the past The MyoTrain offers an enhanced alternative to older methods such as taping for muscle injuries to the thigh and hamstrings - including fiber tears or pulls, myosclerosis, or bruising. The breathable knit and strap system, including two different elastic pressure pads that can be added or removed as needed, allows swelling to substantially decrease quickly and accelerates healing. The unique design of the straps and support provides precise compression immediately after injury. The pad can be used to apply targeted compression to the affected area to stop hemorrhaging or spread of hematoma. The larger functional pad improves lymphatic circulation and reduces swelling, edema, and hematoma. The support can be worn with no pads at all at the advanced stages of rehab to prevent further injury. Do it yourself The MyoTrain works similar to taping, in a more advanced manner, by alleviating pain, accelerating the healing process and preventing further injury. Where as tape can be a grueling and painful process, this support is a breeze to put on and take off, and is aesthetically more pleasing as well. The high quality materials are durable, breathable and sensitive skin-friendly. Because of the ease of use, it is a much better alternative to the taping method.
