As I’ve since learned, there were multiple reasons for the tendonitis I felt along my IT band. Long distance running isn’t completely ache free for me nowadays, but it’s a good soreness, and treating the pain is more manageable.
That’s where the Pro Tights come in. I wouldn’t expect them to cure tendonitis, but the patented Conditioning Web is designed to improve overall performance by targeting specific parts of your lower limbs. And that’s a good start.
How do they work?
The Pro Tights feature an exoskeleton web that aligns the hips, knees and ankles while supporting the quads and hamstrings. The Lycra-Coolmax compression blend increases circulation and reduces fatigue, so your legs will be fresher longer and recover faster.
And I have to say I’m impressed. You know that feeling when you first start jogging and your legs feel abnormally heavy? I didn’t have that when I used the tights. They are comfortable and supportive, and I never had any aches or discomfort associated with warming up. I also wore them for recovery, and something about all that compression just feels good after a taxing run. Now, when I don’t use them, I feel it.
The CW-X Pro Tights won’t take the place of a good physical therapist, but chances are they’ll postpone the need to make the appointment.
