WHY I USE CALF SLEEVES

WHY I USE CALF SLEEVES

Sep 2nd 2021


Hi, I’m Madison and I have been a part of BioSkin’s marketing department for 5 years now. One of the best parts of working for BioSkin is getting to live in Ashland, Oregon. I am a trail and ultrarunner and quickly fell in love with Ashland’s running community and extensive trail system.

I have been running for 22 years now and completed my first race when I was 8 years old. I ran track and cross country in high school and competed for the University of British Columbia while getting my degree in kinesiology. In college, I qualified for the NAIA National Championships in the marathon distance which is how I discovered my passion for long distance races. Throughout my years of racing, I have had my fair share of injuries as you can imagine. It wasn’t until college that I first learned of the benefits of compression and the importance of injury prevention exercises. It was during these years that I began to use calf sleeves and incorporate strength and mobility exercises into my running routine.
 

My years of competitive running and background in kinesiology allow me to bring a unique perspective to the BioSkin team as we develop new braces and compression sleeves to relieve pain and keep our customers active. When BioSkin decided to make a calf sleeve specifically for runners, I knew it was my time to shine! I worked closely with the R&D department to develop the perfect runner’s calf sleeve to make sure the sleeve provides the right amount of compression and is comfortable to wear for long distances and hard workouts. I wear-tested the final prototype for hundreds of miles and it quickly became my go-to sleeve for my longest runs and hardest workouts. I can now confidently say the Trailblazer Calf Sleeves keep my legs feeling fresh and injury free so I can spend more time on the trails I love. The only hard decision is choosing which print I want to wear!

This was such a fun project to lead and I am very proud of the calf sleeve we developed. I can’t wait to share this calf sleeve with runners everywhere!

Designed by athletes, for athletes.

Testimonials

I recently bought a knee brace from Bioskin. The service was amazing. Kelly was pleasant, helpful, and very patient. She wanted to make sure I got the best brace that would work for me. She never made me feel rushed. She wasn't sure I had the best brace and she consulted with Angela. Angela was knowledgeable, informative, and also very patient. The brace was helpful, but unfortunately it was too tight after working all night. They exchanged it the following day without any hassle. I highly recommend Bioskin and would definitely use them again if needed.

Staff very helpful and we had to call a head to see what time they closed because we had drive across town and because it was almost 4pm we called them at 3:40pm and my daughter really needed a hand brace because she just found out she is a high risk pregnancy and has pregnancy induced carpal tunnel so she really needed a brace so we called and they said they closed at 4pm but because we had to drive there they stayed open till we got there and she was able to get her brace. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO HELPFUL AND KIND.

Went with wife for her bone-on-bone knee issues. Angela and Terri were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and so nice. They identified two that best fit my wife's description of issues and after fitting them, she chose the one that was best for her. They stand behind their products...if you need a brace, this is the place.
