Tightly wrap a joint or muscle with a rubber band, move around a bit, then take it off. Leave it on for about two minutes.
WOD Floss Compression allows for greater mobility and blood supply to an area. By squeezing the muscle tightly, then forcing it through a full ROM (range of motion), friction between muscle fibers helps to break up scar tissue, lactic acid, etc. in those places where lacrosse ball and foam rolling can’t reach.
Injury recovery and healing of strained tissue.
For swollen areas, you can promote lymphatic drainage. For that purpose, wrap the band about half as tight as you do when you’re trying to mobilize the area. Drive the area through ROM gently if you can.
Wrists, shoulders, ankles, knees, elbows.
Wrap a WOD band tightly around the joint and drive it through ROM. Do squats, push-ups, lunges, etc.
Knees and elbows.
You may want to wrap one band below and another above the joint. Do some push-ups, squats. Putting the joint through ROM with bands wrapped below and above is stretching everything in between, which can significantly improve joint ROM and also alleviate pain, reduce stiffness, etc.
You can choose from 3 different thickness of WOD compression bands:
0.04" thick x 2" wide x 7' long - Green,
0.051" thick x 2" wide x 7' long - Black,
0.06" thick x 2" wide x 7' long - Red.
This listing is for one roll, you can choose the appropriate item by selecting a small image under the name of the product.
Important:
All the bands are made of premium quality 100% natural latex. So, it does have some resinous odor. However, it is not strong and you'll not find such bands without the odor if they are made of natural latex.
