An insufficient warming-up phase can cause pulled calf muscles fast. In particular, such injuries are not uncommon during sports types requiring abrupt movement such as handball.

As an immediate measure the “RICE rule” should be applied in order to alleviate acute pain and hinder more severe consequences:

Normally therapy is conservative, i.e. without surgery Stabilising bandages (“supports”) or braces may be necessary here.

Our BORT MyoActive Sport Calf Support ensures targeted compression of soft tissue on the lower leg and relief in the injured region specifically in case of acute ruptures of the muscle fibre and muscular injuries.
The product combines the mechanism of action from compression, conventional tape and kinesio tape, thus achieving a proprioceptive effect which promotes regeneration.
