What are the Gilmore Compression Shorts? The Gilmore Compression Short is a revolutionary new concept by Gilmore, the company that brought you the Gilmore Support Short
- exclusive to Physio Room.com. The GCS are specifically designed for sufferers of Gilmores groin or any groin, hamstring injury. The patented design is specifically engineered to prevent groin injuries & aid recovery for patients with past groin injuries. The perfect combination of compression & comfort, the characteristics of the GCS owe to the companys inherent medical expertise & sports specific brand identity. By increasing blood circulation before, during or after exercise, the GCS can help to alleviate the symptoms of fatigue, improve oxygenation of the muscles & prevent chaffing around the groin. This keeps the user both comfortable & supported during use & can help to prevents conditions such as Gilmores Groin & lactate pooling when worn following sport. What is Gilmores Groin? Gilmores Groin is a condition of extreme over extension when twisting or changing direction. Commonly found in sports where twisting motions are a regular occurrence such as football, boxing & hockey the conditions namesake Dr Jerry Gilmore has been working in the field of groin rehabilitation for 30 years. Gilmores Groin occurs when the oblique abdominal muscles tear through the pressures of overextended abductor muscles. In such an occurrence, the stronger abductor muscles cause a massive increase in sudden tension in the oblique abdominal muscles which then tear under the pressure. Unlike a regular hernia however, the sports hernia does not create a hole in the abdominal wall which makes it difficult to diagnose. The Gilmore Support Shorts & Compression Shorts utilise the expertise of Dr Gilmore who has been on-hand at all stages of the development process to assist in the creation of the range. How do they work? The GCS, designed by Harley Streets Sports Enterprise in conjunction with Dr Jerry Gilmore features some of the most advanced compression science on the market today. Due to Dr Gilmores specialty within the field of groin injury & rehabilitation, the GCS are the only product on the market that can claim solid theoretical grounding & practical real world results. Compression garments such as the GCS are designed to increase circulation around problem areas such as in the thigh, hamstrings, abductors, groin & lower back. The GCSs aim to reduce the likelihood of this occurrence by keeping the working muscles warm & improving blood flow. In doing so, the GCSs can help to increase athletic performance, increase oxygenation & reduce the time it takes for the working muscles to heal. The GCSs also feature anti-chaffing wicking properties within the fabric to keep the user dry during use. This alleviates unwanted damp within the groin, helps prevent moisture pooling & allows the skin to breath. Size guide Small 30
