Back and lower back injuries are common among handball players due to the physical demands of the sport, such as rapid rotations, abrupt stops, and frequent impacts. Repetitive strain and awkward movements can lead to muscle spasms, ligament strains, and even chronic lower back pain if not properly addressed.

Lumbar supports are essential for stabilizing the lower back during recovery. These products provide compression and alignment, reducing pressure on the spine while promoting proper posture. Feel Recovery’s lumbar belts are designed with adjustable straps and breathable materials, ensuring a comfortable fit for athletes during training or daily activities.

For immediate relief, heat therapy wraps are highly effective in relaxing stiff muscles and improving blood circulation. The soothing heat penetrates deep into the muscles, easing tension and enhancing flexibility. Feel Recovery’s heat wraps are easy to use and deliver consistent warmth to the affected area, speeding up the recovery process.

Cold therapy also plays a vital role in reducing inflammation and pain, particularly in the initial stages of an injury. Cold packs and wraps can be applied to swollen areas to control inflammation, helping athletes get back to their routine sooner.

Electrotherapy devices, such as TENS units, provide innovative pain management for lower back injuries. By delivering electrical pulses to the affected area, these devices reduce pain signals and stimulate muscle recovery. Regular use of electrotherapy not only alleviates discomfort but also enhances muscle strength and joint mobility, making it a valuable tool for handball players.

Preventative care is equally important in high-impact sports like handball. Using lumbar supports during matches or practice sessions can significantly reduce the risk of injuries by providing the necessary stability and protection. Additionally, incorporating strengthening exercises into training routines can build the muscles around the lower back, reducing the likelihood of future strain.

Another critical aspect of recovery and prevention is improving core strength and flexibility. Stretch bands are excellent tools for targeted exercises that enhance the stability and resilience of the back muscles. When combined with regular physiotherapy, these exercises can help athletes maintain optimal performance without risking further injury.

Feel Recovery’s products are tailored to meet the specific needs of athletes dealing with back and lower back pain. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to prevent one, these solutions are designed to deliver effective and lasting results, ensuring you can stay active and competitive in handball.
