The life of a touring pro can really take a toll on your body. Tightness, fatigue, injuries, and hours of treatment by sports physical therapists just seem to be routine. But through the APP I met Jonathan Oe, designer and owner of LEORÊVER, and he explained to me the concept of "Balanced Compression" as a way to alleviate all the physical issues I was experiencing.

He explained that wearing Balanced Compression tights DURING play, boosts circulation by more efficiently pushing pooling blood in our lower body, back upward to the heart where it can be pumped through our body again, eliminating waste and replenishing oxygen. The first immediate effect is a reduction in inflammation which frees your body to heal itself. The second immediate effect is an improvement in pliability of muscle tissue. Pliable muscles stretch, alleviating the stress on ligaments and reducing the micro-tears in muscles that lead to soreness and fatigue. He gave me a pair of tights and I trained in them and couldn't believe the difference in how I felt.

"Active Recovery" is a real thing just by wearing these balanced compression tights during play. I can go out and play hard for three hours and it feels just like one hour of wear-and-tear on my body. And another hidden gem is - they really shape your figure and help you look gorgeous too! I just love this product!
