It's Not "Just Growing Pains"

Here's what's actually happening in your child's heel

  • footprint

    The soft spot

    In growing kids, the back of the heel has a growth plate that's still soft and developing.

  • sprint

    The pull

    Every sprint, cut and jump, the Achilles tendon tugs on that tender spot.

  • podiatry

    The limp

    Heel pain after practice, a stiff hobble first thing in the morning, limping off the field.

  • bed

    The "advice"

    "Rest for 6–8 weeks." Mid-season, that's not an option for a kid who loves their sport.

    How RecoverX Keeps Them Playing

    1. Stabilizes the growth plate

      Targeted Heel-Lock™ compression cushions each step so they can keep moving with less pain.

    2. Stops the tugging

      The cross-strap locks around the heel so the Achilles isn't pulling with every cut and sprint.

    1. Cleat-ready fit

      A zero-bulk profile that slips into soccer cleats, basketball shoes and spikes.

    2. Easier mornings

      Helps ease that stiff first-step hobble when they get out of bed.

    SPORTS MEDICINE RECOMMENDED

    "RecoverX sleeves provide the kind of targeted, gentle compression that helps stabilize growing joints without restricting movement. Many of my patients are able to stay active and train more comfortably while things calm down and heal. For families looking for a simple, non-invasive support option, RecoverX is one of the products I consistently recommend."

    Parents Are Getting Their Happy Athlete Back

    • Lifesaver for growing athletes

      My 14-year-old son plays basketball year-round and developed Sever's. The doctor said to take 6–8 weeks off. In the middle of AAU season? The first game he wore it, he scored 18 points and didn't complain about his heels once.

    • Pain free since receiving them

      My 10-year-old has been battling Sever's since he was 7. We spent countless dollars on things that didn't work. He's been pain free since receiving them almost a month ago.

    • My kid is happy again

      Son had Sever's disease and was miserable. Tried this and boom — back to playing soccer without crying. Will order another when he outgrows this one.

    • My boys fight over who wears them

      Bought 2 for my boys. They both play football and had heel issues. Held up great through practices and games. Way better than the Walmart compression socks we tried before.

      Questions From Parents

      help

      Will this help with my child's Sever's disease?

      RecoverX is built for exactly how Sever's works: the Achilles pulling on a tender growth plate. Heel-Lock™ compression stabilizes the heel while the cross-strap reduces the tugging during sprints, cuts and jumps.

      help

      Will it fit in cleats?

      Yes. It's our #1 request from parents, so we designed a zero-bulk profile for soccer cleats, track spikes and basketball shoes.

      help

      Our doctor said to rest. Is it safe to wear during sports?

      Rest helps, but it's often not realistic mid-season. RecoverX provides compression and stability support while they stay active. Always check with your doctor.

      help

      How do I pick the right size?

      RecoverX is true to size; check the size chart on the product page. If the fit isn't right, exchanges are free.

      help

      Why buy two?

      Kids wear them every practice and game. Two means one is always clean and ready, and 2+ unlocks free shipping and the free eBook.
