Tips from Enerskin’s Medical Consultant Dr. Nara Yoon: How to Prevent Slippage

If you’re having trouble keeping your Enerskin sleeves, short tights or shirt in place, it could be due to slippage. Here are a few tips from Nara Yoon, Enerskin’s medical consultant, on how to prevent slippage.

Slippage can be due to a few factors. First, the top seam must be wrinkle free throughout the entire circumference, especially in the back, where the slippage tend to occur. If you put it on while sitting, check again when you stand with the knee straight to make sure that all areas are flat.   

If the skin tends to be dry, the slippage may happen more frequently. Because of the nature of our silicone material, the more you sweat, more grip the silicone will have on the skin.  However since typically people are not sweating until fully warmed up, as an initial measure, you can apply aloe or dab some water on the area where the silicone is in contact with the skin at the top or where you feel the slippage tend to occur. If you wear Enerskin short tights & knee sleeves, wearing the shorts on the top will prevent slippage. If you don’t want to wear these short tights on top, you can wear any bike shorts to keep your knee sleeve from falling.  

We also recommend utilizing Enerskin’s customizable functionality.  Enerskin sleeves can be customized by cutting between the lines of the top of the sleeves to adjust the overall size. The sleeve will still compress the body part properly because of its double seamed pattern. For users that are shorter, cutting the sleeve may allow for easier use. However, your product cannot be returned if you cut off part of your sleeve.

Know your Enerskin: Tennis Elbow (tendonitis/tendinitis) and Elbow Sleeves

Enerskin offers compression gear for a variety of body parts, but an elbow sleeve that compresses and pressurizes the muscles on your elbows could be exactly what you’re looking for. Compression elbow sleeves can help with tendinitis (or tendonitis) & related injuries like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or surfer’s elbow, as well as with everyday elbow soreness, aching, stiffness, swelling and pain. Tendonitis can take 7 or 8 months to heal from; anything that can speed up the recovery process helps. Enerskin sleeves can also help enhance performance by utilizing their dual functionality of patented silicon taping technology and traditional compression to keep your muscles firm, in place and in sync with your body to improve user muscle strength, amongst other potential benefits.

Tennis Elbow Relief

Tennis elbow is a type of tendinitis generally caused by repetitive wrist or arm movements. It can affect tennis players, golfers, surfers & other athletes, or even people doing common household tasks like painting & gardening. Under 5% of all cases of tennis elbow are actually caused by tennis. When people are commonly stressing their elbow muscles, it is tough to prevent an injury like tennis elbow - it can happen to anyone. Tennis elbow affects 1% to 3% of the population overall, and as many as 50% of tennis players during their careers. Those who suffer from tennis elbow type tendinitis notice tension or pain when they extend or bend their wrists, or turn their forearms; this pain is caused by inflammation of fibers that attach muscles from the outer elbow to the wrist & hands. This kind of tendinitis takes a long time to heal - in many cases, up to 7 to 8 months. Utilizing compression gear like an elbow sleeve can keep these muscles tight, supported and stabilized. This will help reduce swelling and inflammation on the fibers, removing stress from the elbow and thus helping its muscles stay in tune.

Performance enhancement

Enerskin’s elbow sleeves don’t just help those who are recovering from pain. These sleeves are proven via extensive research and development to help increase the users’ arm & elbow strength, and help prevent muscle shock. Research shows that Enerskin helps improve muscle strength, helping users do more push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups. This makes them ideal gear for golf, baseball, volleyball, basketball, cross-fit, weight training, martial arts, boxing, track, cycling, windsurfing, kendo, fencing, water sports, tennis, bowling, and more. Enerskin Elbow Sleeves are now available for MEN and WOMEN.

He has tried a few other Enerskin’s silicon and elastic taping based products and has found only satisfaction. "The Knee sleeves are really great," Dwayne said. "I'm able to go through my training session (without pain)."

His experience has encouraged Dwayne to recommend the products to all kind of users. "You don't have to be injured to wear (Enerskin); it helps you be more in tune with your muscles. Because it's such great compression gear, I'm more in tune with my muscles. It's great for both prevention of injuries and performance enhancement."

Dwayne Moore is a certified personal trainer based out of New York. His certifications include; strength and conditioning consultant, group fitness instructor, and TRX suspension training Lv1.
