What are Goode Wraps, anyway?
What are they used for?
1. Periostitis inflammation of the outer layer of the bone where the muscles attach
2. Myositis inflammation of muscle
3. Tendonitis inflammation of the muscle-tendon complex that attaches to the bone
4. Stress Fracture documented description of a bone injury on x-ray or via bone scan
5. Compartment Syndrome swelling, pressure, and ischemia (lack of blood and oxygen) in the deep posterior compartment in the lower part of the leg*
* Previous studies have not found compartment syndrome to be the source of pain in Medial Tibia Stress Syndrome.

Comments
I have to tell everyone about the relief I got from my goode wraps. I was skeptical but had found nothing that would work very well or last very long for shin splints. I wear the wraps after soccer and to bed and have had no problems. Thank you goode wraps.

"The arrival of your miracle gift came at the perfect time. I was into a project around the patio and halfway through wondering if I could finish. So I made a cup of tea, opened up my mail, and there it was, with those magic spots. I put it on right away and indeed have only removed it when I shower. What ever its treating power to relieve swelling and pain is quite amazing. I believe now that I can get back on the walking machine and regain some strength in my leg."
They are elasticized cloth bands or sports wraps. Each of these is impregnated with a unique blend of natural rare earth semiconductors that increase circulation to reduce pain or prevent swelling. Goode Wraps are available for the foot, ankle, knee, elbows, and wrist. In fact, the semiconductors can be added to almost any cloth like material.
Primarily to control pain and swelling. They are ideal for tired aching muscles or joints from sporting activity, exercise and repetitive stress injuries. The Goode Wraps help the muscles regain strength and prevent or lessen the sharp pain in joints from tendon stress

Of all the overuse problems associated with physical activity, tendinitis (shin splints) is among the most common. In the past, all conditions have been termed tendinitis and treated accordingly. There now are several different pathological entities. These are: tendinitis, paratendinitis, tendinosis, partial and complete rupture.
Tendinitis is a catch term for inflammation of the tendon itself, and can often co-exist with paratendinitis (shin splints).
The cause of tendinitis usually results from microscopic tears within the tendon and triggering an inflammatory response within the tendon. Common areas susceptible to tendinitis are; achilles, patella, adductor longus, supraspinatus, biceps, tibialis posterior and flexor hallucis longus tendons.
The main characteristics of tendinitis are tenderness, crepitus and local swelling.
Paratendinitis
Paratendinitis can also be called tenosynovities or tenovaginitis.
The first signs of tendinitis are usually noticed following exercise and especially first thing in the morning. During the warm-up phase of exercise the pain frequently disappears and only returns after the cool down period.
Consequently, the sportsperson can train through the pain in the early stages and therefore interfering with the healing process.
Tendinitis responds well to a combination of; ice, rest, frictions, massage and strengthening once the tendon becomes less painful. When strengthening, eccentric exercises have been very successful in helping preventing recurrence.
Paratendinitis describes inflammation of the outer layer of the tendon and usually occurs when the tendon rubs over a prominence. It is also seen in association with tendinosis and partial tears.
