Therapy Focus
Circulation can increase eightfold through exercise, and
up to tenfold in trained athletes, as cardiac output delivers
oxygen to working skeletal muscle bumps up from about 5
g/L to 40 g/L or higher.
SCORE ONE FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
The introduction of 24/7 wearable sleeves and braces
that increase circulation during activity and at rest
represents a true advancement in passive treatment
protocols. The patented technology delivers mid and
far-infrared waves to the tissue from the activation of
semiconductor elements woven into the fabric. In recent
years these sleeves and braces have become standard
of practice for athletic trainers as well as orthopedic
surgeons, regenerative medicine, and pain management
physicians.
The technology is shown to increase circulation by up
to 22% in 20 minutes compared to placebo garments.
When worn after total knee arthroplasty, the swelling
was reduced by 54% compared to the standard of care
medical compression stockings, TEDHose. The sleeves
improve function and reduce pain in the knee by 63% for
osteoarthritis patients. In professional athletes using the
sleeves throughout a season - during practices, events,
and for recovery - muscle injuries were reduced by 78%,
and the time the players were sidelined from injury was half
compared to seasons without the sleeves.
Research indicates that 56% of clients who work with
athletic trainers earn under 74K annually - which speaks
to the need for accessibility and affordability in treatment
options. The most common injuries treated are soft tissue
(sprains, strains, and tears), and athletes who play football,
basketball, soccer, baseball, and ice hockey `rank` among the
most frequent clientele.
The need for a mediated inflammatory response to
reduce swelling and pain, and support of homeostatic
balance within injured tissue is ubiquitous across injury
types and athletes of all sports. The biologically active
infrared waves that wearable technology provides are
unique in the sports medicine arena. The sleeves and
braces dramatically improve circulation and never stop
delivering therapeutic benefits to the athlete as long as it is
worn touching the skin.
It's also important to note that when worn overnight,
the sleeves enhance the well-known benefits of overnight
recovery when blood pressure reduces, endocrine
patterns shift, glycogen is replenished, and cortisol and
inflammatory cytokines are regulated. As such, this
technology has become an indispensable tool to improve
recovery and prevent injury through increased circulation. n
