Braces for muscle tear in the calf
When whipping occurs in the calf, it is important to keep the leg high and cool immediately. The tear in the muscle usually recovers automatically after 2 to 8 weeks. When there is a tear in the muscle it is important to keep enough rest. Try to move a little more every day. In doing so, we recommend the use of a calf brace. A calf brace provides the necessary compression to speed up the recovery process and prevent further injury.
Calf taping when muscle tear
There are a number of ways you can ease the pain of whipping. Wearing a brace for compression and pain reduction to the calf. Another option is to tap the calf.

When the choice is when wearing a brace or draining the calf, we recommend using a brace for extra support and protection.
