How to Actually Use Compression Wrapping to Help You Train...

"Compression wrapping (popularized by Kelly Starrett) is where you wrap the injured joint or muscle in elastic material. Compression wraps are common in weight lifting, but we're talking about a more aggressive wrap for a very short period of time (30 seconds to 2 minutes), and for a much different purpose."

These are the bullet points that you need to know:

• "When there's pain in a movement, compression wrapping offers extra stability to allow a safer range of motion.
• Once you remove the band, blood floods back into the area, creating an influx of nutrients that was previously limited.
• While it's no replacement for a soft tissue therapist, it is an affordable and extremely convenient recovery modality."
