This site has articles about sports medicine injuries, training and recovery as well as reviews on products used to identify and resolve problems like plantar fasciitis or hurt knees. Which knee brace works for what injury/ailment, do the prescription injections work and what books, ebooks, training guides or dvds are good resources.
I have used KT Tape for squash and it definitely does 'what it says on the tin'. It lasts throughout and makes a great difference to the pain felt both during and after. I've been buying mine online from the guys here - always seem really helpful with questions. ww...

I found this synthetic KT Tape Pro to be way ahead of all the other types of kinesiology tape. Shower, hot tub, sweat could not remove it. Very effective in pain relief and was great in helping prevent injury. Our testers loved it.
The Achilles sufferer was so th...

I have long legs and these were the first long underwear that were comfortable under ski wear. I wear a all in one ski suit with these and an under armour top and I am toasty in the coldest of weather. Once I got these, I never went back to anything else.

The cushioning and arch support in addition to the lighter weight feels pretty good right out of the box. Have not tested quite long enough to offer a final verdict but no blisters or hurting body parts. I have the 17s and I think I really do like the 18s better.

This is a big improvement over the previous coldgear. The arms are long the body is long and it has a nice felt like lining inside. Sweat is wicked from my skin so i'm not cold, too. But I have to say that as a fashionista, i love all the colors. Lime green and pin...

I am a guy and it took a very persuasive girlfriend to talk me into tights. But my recovery and soreness is greatly diminished with these cw-x tights. I can't wear them for a long time after I get back because they star to feel restricting and getting them on the f...

I have had Under Armour ColdGear since it came out. But this newly engineered batch with the colors and the longer arms and body is wonderful. I run in the cold and this keeps the sweat wicked away. Before, the fabric would stink up pretty fast. They have resolved ...

I like these better than than the Gel Kayano 17 but my running partner likes the 17s better. In his case, he liked the asymmetrical lacing. It irritated my upper foot. I'm a big guy at 225 so there are not many running shoes that last or stabilize that well for a g...

This stuff works pretty well when I have sore muscles. Granted an ice bath is the best but I'm not always wanting to do that. If it's my legs an ice bath is ok. But when I have shoulder or arm pain that means I have to get in it all at once and I hate that. staple ...

I love these tablets. Easy to pack on a trip as I will go out of town to run a marathon about 3 times per year. Hyponatremia is an issue for me even in the fall. So I always take these. The lemon lime is yukky. Orange and triberry are good!

Surprisingly this was comfortable. I guess when you compare how I felt without it on. I could barely walk and that slipping of the knee feeling was making me crazy. It sort of kept thing together. Hard to wear with dress pants for sure but what are you gonna do. I ...

I have wicked allergies. This makes all the difference when you lilke to run outside. Really reduces sinus pressure better than anything else I have tried. Use flonase and these for flare ups. I sleep better too. Swollen sinuses used to keep me awake. I did not rea...

These make a huge difference in whether or not I can complete a half marathon. I cannont hang around sitting for much more than an hour but if I am moving the really energize. I like the insulated ones. Wish they were cheaper but they do last. Had mine for over tw...

These tights really are top quality. I will say the price inspired me to research them the first time around. But they really do make a difference in terms of longevity and soreness after a long run. Other runners expressed the same. There were a few who commented ...

The shot wasn't as painful as i thought it would be but the worst feeling is that i have now been laid up in bed for 4 days because of the pain. I can't walk without hurting. Any tips on this pain would be great

These are surprisingly comfortable. My personal preference is the Pearl Izumi for warding off sun which is in another listing and the CW-X would be a second for me. I am very long armed so the zensahs don't do it for me but my shorter running girlfriend loves them....

I have to admit, when I first saw these I thought "fashion statement". But like a lot of compression garments, they do provide help for fatigue in particular.
I know the cw-x shorts and tights minimize fatigue for me and energize in addition to less soreness late...

I love all of the tights and shorts made by CW-X. I wear them nearly every day, even in warm weather. I buy them at CoolFitWear.com. You can get an additional 15% off if you use the Coupon Code: runnersworld. Love, love, love them!

First time I took this product my b/p increased and I ended up with a throbbing headache. (I was taking it easy on my first day taking them and only took two). The next day after my head quit aching I tried taking one tablet hoping that that would be the answer. ...

This ankle brace really works. I was coming off an injury in cross country and it was my first meet back. I hit a rut in the trail and my ankle was about to turn but it popped back up with this brace. I was amazed it really worked like that. I don't even have the s...
