This groin and hip spica helps with the compression aspect of these steps.

Comfortable Alternative to Taping Wrapping your outer hip (abductor) or inner thigh (adductor) muscles with normal athletic tape often presents a challenge following a strain or pull. Medical or KT (kinesio) tape can be uncomfortable and must be rewrapped frequently due to moisture or loss of effectiveness as the tape stretches. Unlike like tape, this sports hernia truss is reusable, washable, comfortable, and easy to apply. See more hip supports and braces. Abduction vs. Adduction: What’s the Difference?
