compression wrap

A compression wrap is a stretchy bandage applied around an injured area, such as a sprain or strain, to provide gentle pressure. This pressure helps reduce swelling, control bleeding, and support the area, promoting faster healing. The wrap also stabilizes the injury, preventing further damage during movement. It's important to apply the wrap snugly but not so tight that it cuts off circulation, which can cause additional problems. Proper use of a compression wrap can make recovery more comfortable and efficient, especially when combined with rest and elevation.
