Injury hip & pelvis support for women

[ishakur]

Can any of you can advise me. I'm desperately trying to locate injury products for women that support the hip/pelvis/upper thigh, and wonder where female sportspeople and/or their physios would get theirs from. Any pointers, product recommendations or more forums where female sportspeople & athletes congregate would be helpful. I'm looking for something just like Vulkan's neoprene Warm Pants, but even their XS is too big for me around the hip (they're made for men). I have McDavid hDc Women's Compression Shorts and they're useless, very light. Their seem to be loads of injury products for men... My physio doesn't have any idea.

Both these links went to the same place and unfortunately didn't have what I'm looking for.

This is a severe chronic injury that needs supporting, I'm not seeking a "protector" or supplements, but something like Vulkan Warm Pants but for women. Any other pointers would be gratefully appreciated- see my original post at the top of this thread. Thanks.

Yes, thank you, but what I need is pants.

Sounds like you need to contact a manufacturer and see about ordering a few custom sized pair.

Thanks, William, you may be right. I find it difficult to believe though that women haven't needed the same things as men before now.

I'm not actually William, he's the author to the quote in my signature.

Have you tried doing google searches for the product you're looking for. That would be the first step if it were my search. If you can't find anything my suggestion would be going custom made.. sorry I'm not more help.

Sorry Heidi for calling you William! Yes, I googled for days on end, and then decided to look at forums. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for your suggestions.
