Actimove AchilloMotion, Active Support

Active support for relieving pressure on the Achilles tendon—with friction pads and two included heel wedges.

Description

The Actimove AchilloMotion provides targeted relief for the Achilles tendon. The knitted structure applies compression, and seamless friction pads are integrated along both sides of the tendon. They exert pressure on the soft tissue surrounding the Achilles tendon; their massaging effect helps reduce swelling and thus supports pain relief. The improved proprioception also provides a sense of stability and security.

Two heel wedges are included for the acute inflammatory phase. These can be used to elevate the heel, thereby reducing tension on the Achilles tendon—a benefit not offered by a compression bandage alone. Shock-absorbing Technogel provides additional cushioning upon foot strike.
