Sore All Over

Why am I walking with this limp?

Oh, it’s actually sorta complicated.

You see, I left the dishwasher open, and then, at night, I got up for a glass of water, and knocked my right shin into it in the dark.

What do you mean, ‘that’s not complicated’? That’s because you didn’t let me finish.

Anyway, next day the shin was pretty raw, but I went for a run anyway. Naturally, I favored my opposite leg, which led me to strain a muscle in that thigh. Next day after that, I favored the other side, the sore shin side, leading to some tightness in my that knee.

Well, after all that, I decided to take a few days off from running. And things were healing up nicely.

Then, I rolled my ankle a clump of uneven ground while mowing.

So, yeah, that’s why I’m walking with a little limp. But maybe you were right; it’s not actually very complicated.

Okay, are we laying it on a little thick?

Yes.

But the point stands: if you’ve got a body, that means you’ve got a part of your body that hurts. And if that pain is radiating or severe, call a doctor, obviously. But sometimes, the discomfort is mild but persistent, and you just need a little bit of pressure and lift to make it feel better.

That’s where compression comes in! Whether you need it on your shoulder, your elbow, or your feet, these sleeves and socks can deliver a nice bit of support and comfort when you’re hurting or sore.

[And here is where I admit something embarrassing as a professional copywriter. Being a person who has a body, I’m familiar with compression sleeves/socks and didn’t think to really check what these particular ones offered before beginning my work. And so, I am only now seeing packaging.]

Hmmm…

Deep sigh

Well, shit.

Okay, so, reading the company’s ‘about us’ page, when they say ‘front line,’ they really do mean it. The company supports a variety of charitable foundations that benefit medical professionals and first-responders, military personnel, and police forces, providing them with compression products for use in the field.

Still, the design is… a choice.

But it’s just on the packaging. So you can buy the compression product of your choice for their design, or you can buy it in spite of their design and then toss the packaging as soon as your order arrives.

Because the sleeves and socks? They’re good.

Buy them if you want them.
