Rugby player Yu Chinen is a huge fan of the Realign device!
This time, we interviewed Chinen about the Realign Device, so we'd like to introduce it to you!
*****************************************************************
◎Please tell us about your favorite Realign device.
・Realine socks (Pro/Soft/Soft Long),
・Realign Balance Shoes for Knee Joints
◎What were your impressions after using the Realign device?
I really felt the grip of the socks and the stability of my ankle. I had sprained my ankle repeatedly in junior high school, and although my ankle was loose, the tightness of the taping bothered me while playing. I was introduced to Realine and started using it, and I think my ankle is now in good condition. I use either the soft or the pro depending on the length of my training time, and I feel good with both.
◎Have you noticed any changes in your body before and after using the ReaLine device?
The ankle joint is more stable and the force of the step is increased.
◎What benefits do you feel you get from using the Realign device?
It has a similar holding sensation to taping, but it doesn't restrict movement and doesn't get in the way, so the force is transmitted without letting go. It also has a gripping structure, so it doesn't slip inside the shoe and I can move around without it slipping.
◎In what sport do you think your Realign device is particularly effective?
I think it would be effective in sports that involve a lot of turning, such as rugby.
Can using a Realign device help prevent injuries?
It feels like it stabilizes the ankle, so I think it can help relieve instability in the ankle.
◎Please tell us what goals you would like to achieve by using the Realign device.
I ruptured my quadriceps tendon in November 2022 and am currently undergoing rehabilitation in order to return to the game stronger than I was before the injury.
◎ Please give us a message for people who are considering using the ReaLine device, including any recommended points.
If you are having trouble with the stiffness caused by taping, I recommend you try Realine socks. You will experience a different feeling of hold and grip than with regular socks, as well as the sensory input to your toes that comes from the tabi structure.
