Explore how a Bearhug Thigh Support can help you perform better, for longer – and recover faster!
Basketball
Bearhug thigh supports provide targeted compression to the quadriceps and hamstrings, helping basketball players manage muscle fatigue from constant running, jumping, and explosive direction changes.
This support reduces the risk of strains and enhances muscle recovery.
Cycling
Cycling requires sustained, repetitive leg motion; placing constant pressure on the quadriceps, hamstrings, and adductors. As a result, thigh issues such as strains, tears and sudden cramping are common.
If you want to reduce the risk of hamstring tears, quadricep strains or DOMS – pick up a Bearhug thigh sleeve; scientifically proven to reduce the risk of injury and accelerate recovery by using targeted compression to stimulate increased blood flow.
Football
The very nature of football – sprinting, kicking, jumping, and tackling – places footballers at significant risk of hamstring and quadricep strains, dead legs, adductor strains and DOMS.
If you’ve suffered with any of the above, the Bearhug thigh support is proven to accelerate the recovery process by stimulating blood flow through the area using our advanced compression technology.
Using our thigh sleeve is also proven to reduce the risk of quad injuries altogether; helping you play harder and recover faster.
Martial arts and combat
From muay thai and MMA to brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, and boxing, combat sports place extreme demands on the upper leg muscles — particularly the hamstrings, quads, and adductors. Whether striking, grappling, or kicking, your thighs are under constant stress.
