Handball injuries with Herzog Compression Stockings

Handball is a demanding sport that askes a lot from the body. Many handball players deal with shin injuries, stiff Achilles tendons or calf pains. Herzog PRO Sport Compression Stockings are ideal for preventing or reducing these injuries.

What do Herzog stockings do?

During handball you demand a lot from your body. There is a sprint, abrupt breaking and the game requires fast movements. With each jump, up to three times the body weight is absorbed. By wearing Herzog sports compression stockings while playing handball, you support and stimulate your calf muscles. The special pressure course of the stocking ensures that the shock load on the lower leg is absorbed more efficiently. This causes less muscle damage and you experience less muscle pain. You also ensure less pulling forces on your Achilles tendons and your shin membrane.

Herzog Official Partner of the NHV

It is not for nothing that Herzog Medical is the Official Partner of the Dutch Handball Association (NHV): Herzog PRO Sport Compression Stockings are perfect for preventing or reducing Achilles tendon pain, calf complaints and shin injuries. Our orange players wear Herzog socks to get the most out of their sports performance and recovery.
