A hamstring support sleeve for players who feel the back of the thigh tighten late in games or the day after a sprint session. Compression around the muscle belly can make the next light session more tolerable. It does not heal a tear. Do not wear it as a substitute for rest if you felt a pop, saw bruising, or cannot straighten the leg. That is a clinician problem, not a sleeve problem.

Pull it on so the knit sits over the sore zone without rolling at the top. If it rolls, the size is wrong or the knit is damp and stretched. Sizes S/M/L — measure the thigh where the sleeve will sit, not the waist. Wash cold, no fabric softener, air-dry. Wear it for sessions or the car home, then do the boring work: gentle lengthening, bridge variations, and not jumping back into a midweek double after a rest weekend.

This is recovery kit, not a shin pad and not a hinged brace. Shop it from Recovery when protection and socks are already sorted. Pair with sensible load management, not with “play through it” as a plan. Free UK shipping over £45. If numbness or pins-and-needles start, take it off.
