From an actual research perspective, several studies over the past decade have shown a potential positive effect of using voodoo floss for different aspects of performance such as improved power, mobility, flexibility, recovery, and psychological benefits. One recent study published in 2020 showed that "flossing bands caused a reduction in perceived knee pain and improved vertical jump performance in young male recreational athletes" (1). A second study showed that "perceptions of flexibility increased more for the Voodoo Floss Band group, demonstrating a psychological increase in gleno-humeral flexion, but not actually a physical increase"(2). In addition, two studies have shown that voodoo floss has an improvement in ankle dorsiflexion ROM (3,4). Finally, one study demonstrated that an acute compression band treatment following eccentric training can elicit improved recovery and decrease the effects of DOMS (5). From the research, the actual mechanisms of why voodoo floss work have not been fully demonstrated, but is has been shown to slightly improve mobility and soreness, and from my experience, there is definitely a psychological aspect to add this.
