Long Shorts for Adductors & Pubalgia | Shortystrap

Shortystrap, special for adductors and pubalgia

The use of the shortystrap is recommended for the following conditions:

• Painful syndrome of the inguino-pubic region: Pubalgia
• Overall hip pain
• Pain / Adductor Tendinopathy

To be used at the first signs of pain, its immediate effectiveness is proven by scientific studies “Reduces pain or makes it disappear in 95% of cases from the first use” (see detailed studies below). It is suitable for the musculature of all athletes (including high-level athletes).

⚠️ Wearing the Shortystrap is recommended as a complement to therapeutic follow-up (physiotherapy, osteopathy, others…) to cure pubalgia. Without this therapeutic follow-up, the use of the Shortystrap will not be optimal.
⚠️ The Shortystrap must be worn directly over your underwear to avoid reducing its effectiveness (do not wear the Shortystrap over or under other clothing). If you practice sports in mid-length shorts or tights (long), please choose in these cases a Shortystrap Corsaire or a Shortystrap Long.

How the Shortystrap works and how to wear it

The set of elastic straps reduces tension on the adductor muscles of the lower limbs. This unloading allows relative rest for the adductor muscles and the pubic region.
The sought-after effect of bringing the two legs closer together is essential and greatly contributes to the Shortystrap’s effectiveness. This effect is immediate; the compressive Shortystrap will be positioned to ensure tension on the elastic straps (as low as possible towards the knees and as high as possible towards the navel).

We recommend an initial protocol of systematic wear during sports practice until the pain disappears, then 1 to 2 times per week for preventive purposes thereafter. The frequency of wearing the Shortystrap can be decided in collaboration with your doctor or physiotherapist.

Choosing your Shortystrap size

Your Shortystrap will be effective if its size matches your measurements. Take the time to accurately measure your different dimensions as explained in the size guide to determine the size that suits you.

Proven effectiveness of the Shortystrap: scientific studies

Some excerpts from these studies:

• "We conclude that the Shortystrap is fully recommended for football players suffering from pubalgia and pain during sports practice. We also believe that its use as an aid to resuming sports is an interesting point to highlight." "This study shows us that the Shortystrap will allow players to continue training, but especially competition without altering their performance. In amateur and especially professional settings, an injured player is a player who is useless to the team, and the Shortystrap will prevent this problem since, according to statistical tests, players are able to perform at the same level with and without the Shortystrap. The Shortystrap is therefore a very useful tool for footballers, as it allows them to maintain optimal performance levels despite adductor pain. It should not be forgotten that the size of the Shortystrap is important and that a size too large will not be effective, and a size too small will lead to more adductor muscle strengthening. To achieve the desired result from wearing the Shortystrap, it is necessary to take accurate anthropometric measurements."The Impact of Muscle Strengthening on Adductors and Abductors with the Shortystrap on Specific Football Tests LEFEBVRE Alexis. 2016"We can say that the ShortyStrap combined with muscle strengthening does not increase football players' performance. The ShortyStrap therefore allows maintaining physical capacities during practice."Pubalgia, Influence of the Shortystrap and Orthopedic Insoles Coupling in Improving Therapeutic Management CHICOINE Jérémy - 2017"The results of this study show that the devices applied to patients with pubalgia have a positive effect on pain (SHORTYSTRAP + orthopedic insoles), and that the combination of the two would have a more interesting impact for faster treatment of the pathology, which would be an advantage for the athlete as it is normally a long and difficult condition to manage."
