Rugby puts huge demands on its players. Compression socks can help you boost your fitness levels during the game and aid recovery
Our medical team has worked closely with the RFU and the VR recovery sock and lightweight calf sleeve is part of kit handed to every international player.
During the game we advise a lightweight calf sleeve (VR Performa Lite or VR ProBoost Lite) or a lightweight full undersock (VR Performa) – a VR ProGuard can be worn if you use shin pads. These should be worn under the normal rugby sock – the advantage of the sleeve is it does not alter the fitting of your feet in your boots.
After the game a class II recovery sock (VR ProPlus Recovery) should be worn for a minimum of four hours – this will help reduce fatigue and muscle soreness, it can even be worn to work the next day to help keep your legs fresh.
If playing involves travel to and from matches – then we recommend using a travel sock. This is because dehydration, bruising and swelling are common and they all increase the risk of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and wearing compression will help to alleviate these risks.
VR ProPlus Recovery contain UK Class II medical grade compression (stronger than Class I). After an injury, with a medical condition or after intense exercise, this level of compression may be required. The firmer squeeze boosts the effects of compression on the body.For greater accuracy, enter your measurements under the 'My Measurements' size option to...
