When muscles and joints are not being stressed or stretched, the muscle loses its strength: Atrophy. Muscular atrophy arises quite quickly when a joint or limb is immobilized, with changes occuring within the first 48 hours.
Around 30% (!!) Of muscle mass can be lost after only 3 days of immobilization, and this can rise up to 50% within 15 days.
Compression in a gentle way is good stress for your bones. We need that stress to stay healthy. Not chronic stress.
