Re: Gusto's Journal

Have you used one before or have any feedback? Only thing Im skeptical about is that it seems to be for a specific area/ injury rather than something I could use all the time to prevent... am I right or wrong? Only $20 though. you think this would be better than compression shorts you talked about before?

it is a tool for a specific area and from what i have read it is used for prehab as well as rehabbing an injury. i havent used the specific product because i like the shorts to keep the whole leg above the knee tight. pretty cheap product though
