What Are Sleeves and Wraps?

Athletes use sleeves and wraps on important joints in the arms and legs to help optimize performance and reduce injury by compressing joints and tendons. 

What Are the Differences Between a Sleeve and a Wrap?

Sleeves pull on over your arm or leg and compress and heat your joints. Compression pressure on the joints increases blood flow and synovial fluid.  This increases flexibility, reduces pain, and decreases the risk of injury to the joint. You recover and get to your next workout faster when using good sleeves. Thicker sleeves provide more compression and support, while thinner sleeves allow easier range of motion and may be worn longer.

Wraps are designed to add pressure onto muscles and joints that would otherwise buckle; especially for knees and wrists when lifting heavy weights. Athletes wrap these long lengths of very sturdy material above, over, and below the joint to release pressure from the surrounding tendons. Good-quality wraps, properly worn, enable better performance and less risk of injury.
