Adductor Groin Strain - The athletes involved in breaststroke swimming were more likely to have current adductor groin pain than the athletes involved in other swimming competition. Therefore. breaststroke swimmers should be aware of the danger and take precautions to provent groin strain. One of the most significant development in the area of prevention are the power compression shorts developed by Goode Wraps.

Every year year one out of every three swimmers will have an injury. Out of every three of these injuries, one will involve the knee the other third will be the adductor muscles. Of all the injuries that occur in the knee, those affecting the kneecap are the most common. A variety of names have been given to this injury, most commonly chondromalacia or swimmer's knee. Swimmer's knee pain usually comes on gradually. Unlike a skiing injury where symptoms occur abruptly, the swimmer's knee pain occurs gradually over a period of weeks or even months. The pain is difficult to localize. However, it is usually in the front of the knee around the kneecap. An additional problem is cronic feet cramps. Not an injury but dangerous when swimming in deep water. Goode Wraps relax muscles and tendons to relive pain and cramps.

Clues

When sliding into the driver's seat, all of your weight is on your left leg. A feeling as if the knee will give way, pain when getting in and out of a car, particularly if the left knee is affected. Visualize getting into a car. Getting out of the car, the left leg is placed on the street and the weight of the body is raised on the left leg and knee. The lower the seat, the more the stress on the knee. Those with swimmer's knee who use a clutch will also notice that the left knee is uncomfortable when depressing the clutch. Stiff or achy knee after prolonged sitting discomfort when squatting, kneeling or hopping (doing squats or leg extensions in the gym may be the cause of the knee damage.) Pain when walking downstairs; occasionally when walking upstairs pain with lateral thrusting movements such as those used in racquet sports or aerobics all of the factors which precipitate knee pain are those where the knee is bent and there is pressure placed on the foot or when doing leg extension exercises on machines with a bar across the front of the ankle.

Treatment

Accurate diagnosis of the swimmer's knee can be made quite readily. The general principles of treatment include strengthening the vmo, or inner portion of the quad muscle, while stretching the outer knee structures such as the Iliotibial band itb. Vmo strengthening can be accomplished with (a) leg lifts, (b) leg extensions, or, more preferably, (c) short arc quad extensions. A leg extension regimen developed at Michigan state university is to contract the quad for 60 seconds, rest for 60 seconds and repeat three times. Although this regimen does not seem to be very vigorous, its proponents endorse the technique. Regardless of the strengthening technique used, it will be six to 12 weeks before significant improvement in vmo strength will occur. Itb stretching will be reviewed in a later issue. No discussion of the swimmer's knee pain would be complete without some mention of the hamstring muscles. In many swimmers with knee pain, the hamstring muscles are tight. Hamstring tightness will often worsen kneecap pain. Thus, hamstring stretching is an important adjunct to treatment. Orthotics and proper shoes will help excessive pronation. Finally, there are swimmers whose knee pain is recalcitrant and resistant to treatment. For you, a kneecap stabilizing brace is available. In a number of swimmers, the brace has made a big difference in pain and the capacity to run. In conclusion, swimmers with knee pain should ride the elevator, avoid scrubbing floors, drive cars with automatic transmissions and stretch their itb's and hamstrings.

^{"I want to order a regular knee wrap for my wife. I punched a pair
of your compression shorts a month ago and they are wonderful. I had an adductor
pull that had been bothering me for months. The doctor kept me going to a physical
therapist but I did not get any improvement. In fact, when I ordered the shorts I
could hardly walk. After wearing the short for 10 days I am completely healed.
I wear them every day to prevent further injury." David

Additional Benefits from Power Compression Shorts
Improve Athletic Performance and Reduce Injury

It has been proven throughout the research at Penn State Center for Sports Medicine that garments engineered to meet DuPont Lycra Power� Compression Shorts standards ensure a competitive edge. Research at Ball State concluded: Through various mechanisms, these findings may translate into an effect on athletic performance and reduction of injury. Pilot studies show Power Compression Shorts with external application of semiconductors may have a 5% additional positive effect on motor performance (kicking a foot ball and standing high jump).

LA Times - Some say compression garments can enhance performance by improving the body's awareness of motion

We have had only one person tell us he re-injured himself while wearing our shorts, he was a sprinter who pulled a quadriceps muscle, and he told us the story while ordering another pair.

Jennifer D’Andrea, recovering from ACL surgery, posting to Bob’s WWWBoard.

"Well, I have been using my wrap for several days now and I definitely feel better. Less stiffness and pain after sitting for long periods. I wear it to sleep and during the day if possible. I expect to wear it to sleep until my ACL knee feels just like my other knee. I would definitely endorse this product.

Email received from Linda:

" I have been having a lot of pain in my left knee for the past 3 weeks so I went to the Dr. I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus and as a result of the torn ligament, I now have water on the knee. I received the Goode knee wrap today and immediately put it on. I couldn't believe how comfortable it was. The amazing part is that I noticed within an hour, my knee felt better than it has for weeks. I'm able to walk much more comfortably and will have no problem wearing the wrap for as long as I want to wear it without it pinching or being uncomfortable. I don't know how the wrap has done it, but it's significantly reduced the pain in my knee and I'm able to walk with just minor discomfort. Just yesterday, I was almost unable to walk at all!!!!!!!"
