Injury Prevention & Recovery for Hockey | Solusports

Hockey combines short sprints, constant changes of direction in a semi-crouched position, sharp hip rotations when striking, and repeated lateral movement — a combination that places particular strain on the pelvic area, knees, and ankles. Groin strain is one of the most common injuries in this sport, precisely due to the player's characteristic posture (leaning torso, constantly rotating hip), along with hamstring and quadriceps tears, ankle sprains, and knee discomfort from repeated changes of direction.

At Solusports, we offer a selection of products designed to support you before, during, and after every match, with special focus on groin strain given how common it is in this sport:

For groin strain and the adductors, under constant strain from hockey's characteristic posture and hip rotation, Shortystrap works through the tension of its straps, specifically stabilizing the pubic area and adductors; Knapman short and long compression shorts (25% and 45%) offer an equally effective compression-based alternative for this area, while also protecting the hamstrings and quadriceps during sprints and direction changes. For the ankle, exposed with every rotation and lateral movement, the Incrediwear ankle sleeve helps reduce inflammation and speeds up recovery after a sprain. For the knee, under strain from the semi-crouched posture held throughout the match, the Incrediwear knee sleeve supports circulation and joint recovery.

In addition, TRUsox anti-slip socks are especially important in hockey given the nature of the game: by eliminating foot slippage inside the shoe, they help you maintain a firm base in the semi-crouched position characteristic of this sport, improving your explosiveness with every burst and change of direction, while also preventing blisters from constant friction.
