Compression shorts are the most effective means of compressing the thigh and groin. If the injury is very specific, a thigh compression strap can help to relieve pressure. It can also reduce pain around the groin. Often it's difficult to maintain compression on this tricky area after an injury. So compression shorts offer an effective method of maintaining compression and support. Effective compression shorts can help to support injuries and improve blood flow to the area. This, in turn, can enhance healing.
