Flossing bands are awesome tools for improving joint mobility and neuro-muscular mechanics. You can easily regain and enhance a full range of motion, and restore and activate live muscle tissue by inducing rapid blood flow to target areas. How does it work? When you squeeze muscle tissue by wrapping it tightly then push it through a full range of motion, it causes friction between the muscle fibers. In turn, this breaks down scar tissue, lactic acid and any other toxins that may be trapped within the muscle's tissues.
You only need to leave the compression band on for a couple of minutes. When you remove the blood surges through the muscle, pushing fresh nutrients for muscle growth and removing all the unwanted materials you just broke down. Flossing bands are also beneficial for healing joints and damaged tissue. For example, if you have a swollen area on your arm, you will need to promote lymphatic drainage. All you need to do is wrap the band half as tight as you would for mobilization and put your arm through a gentle range of movement. Our mobilization bands are perfect for strengthening and toning muscles and for reducing inflammation by compressing swelling out of joints.
Compression armbands are hugely popular with CrossFit enthusiasts and powerlifting athletes worldwide. If this is your first time using flossing bands, you can find YouTube videos that will outline the proper mobilization techniques.
