Yes, you can safely exercise in Paxsies sports binders. Our sports binders were specifically designed to provide minimal pressure on your ribs without compromising on chest-compression power. The important thing with a binder is that your lungs and chest should be able to expand and contract freely during physical activity. Our sports binders have been examined by several doctors and medical staff and they meet those criteria. Please note that it is very important that you wear the right size of binder, especially during exercise. Wearing a binder that is too tight during any physical activity can lead to serious injury.
