Pain Relief
Dealing with sore muscles and stiff joints is an everyday occurrence for players. Lend a hand with these three pain-relief tools.
1. Biofreeze
The #1 clinically recommended topical pain reliever is designed to ice out pain. Made with a unique menthol formula, Biofreeze treats sore muscles and aching joints after practices, games, and workouts. Give the gift of clinically proven pain relief with Biofreeze.
2. THERABAND Portable Roller Massager+
The THERABAND Roller Massager+ is used to create myofascial release in large muscle regions of the body. Myofascial release targets tight muscles to help relieve pain and increase muscle elasticity. Using the THERABAND Roller Massager has also been shown to increase flexibility. Stretching can increase flexibility but at the cost of short-term muscle strength. The Roller Massager doesn’t have that downside, making it the perfect tool for better warmups. The portable version is easy to toss into a gym bag for myofascial release on-the-go.
3. Hypervolt Bluetooth Vibration Massage Device
The Hypervolt brings deep tissue massage therapy directly to you. It can help improve blood flow to alleviate pain and treat sore muscles. This vibration massage tool can deliver up to 3,200 percussions per minute and has adjustable settings. The Hypervolt is the perfect way to cap off any workout, practice, run, or game.
Exercise Tools
The grind of working out can be hard to maintain. Make it a little easier on your favorite basketball player by getting them exercise equipment they actually want to use.
4. THERABAND CLX Resistance Bands
Working out should be a physical challenge, not a mental challenge. You don’t need two sets of dumbells, a DVD guide, an elliptical, and a textbook to improve your fitness. All you need is a THERABAND CLX Resistance Band. Exercises that target the arms, legs, back, core, and trunk are all possible with a single CLX Band.
5. THERABAND Rocker and Wobble Boards
Finding the time to work out isn’t always easy. Between school, work, a social life, and practice, sometimes it just can’t happen. Instead of missing out on chances to improve your body and your game, take the gym to work. THERABAND Rocker and Wobble Boards allow you to improve balance and lower body strength from wherever the day takes you.
6. Deluxe Square Rebounder
For the ultimate experience in agility and ball-handling training, every basketball player needs a rebounder. Rebounders can be used to improve hand-eye coordination by catching and controlling medicine balls after throwing them against the rebounder. The Deluxe Square Rebounder includes the rebounder, medicine balls, and a storage rack.
Protection
If you’re looking for a gift to give a basketball player, get them something that keeps them safe while playing. Braces, splints, and wraps offer support after rolling an ankle or spraining a wrist.
7. THERABAND Kinesiology Tape
Kinesiology tape is used to support joints by replicating the biomechanical functions of the body. This means that applying the tape to your ankle helps support the ankle similar to how your Achilles tendon does. THERABAND Kinesiology Tape features a printed pattern that makes it easy to identify how much tension you are applying based on the stretch of the tape. It is the perfect tape for providing extra support during a game or practice.
8. Thermoskin Elbow Sleeve
A compression sleeve is a staple of any basketball player’s uniform. The Thermoskin Elbow Sleeve offers firm but light compression when dribbling or shooting. It also protects the arm from floor burns, should the player fall. This sleeve is a game day must-have for any player.
9. Active Ankle AS1 Pro
The Active Ankle AS1 Pro Brace is designed for injuries that require limiting ankle mobility. It can be used for ankle sprains and rolled ankles. It reduces lateral ankle movement to prevent the worsening of injuries and promotes a safe recovery while allowing forward and back and vertical mobility. Athletes can also wear the brace to limit their chances of an ankle injury.
