Custom Fit – The New World of Compression Part 3 – Professional Compression for Professional Athletes
In our previous blogs we’ve introduced a new world of custom fit compression, highlighting differences between custom fit and standard sized compression garments in terms of the level of compression applied (Hill et al., 2015), and the proven recovery benefits of custom fit compared to off the shelf compression garments or no compression (Brown et […]
Custom Fit – The New World of Compression Part 2: Accurate compression with custom fit, variable pressure with standard sized garments
Research has shown that custom fit compression results in faster recovery than standard sized (off the shelf) compression garments (Brown et al., 2022a). Why? For compression garments to work they must fit correctly and have the correct amount of pressure applied. Custom fit based on a 3D scan, is the only way to achieve perfect […]
Custom Fit Compression – The new world of sports compression that actually works!
Compression works, but only if garments fit correctly and apply optimal compression regimes. Introducing custom fit compression, the new world of medical grade compression for elite athletes with proven benefits! If you think compression doesn’t work, then you’re thinking about standard sized (off the shelf) compression garments. These garments are sized generically, have been shown […]
Enhancing recovery in a busy schedule
Multi-day sports events, whether it’s an intense multi-stage cycling race, cricket test match or major football tournament, demand effective recovery strategies to achieve peak physical performance. Unlike one-off races or competitions, the extended nature of these events can lead to cumulative fatigue. Optimising recovery between stages or days is therefore critical to maintaining high performance […]
Why custom fit compression is so important
Ever wondered why your compression garments aren’t working? Standard sized (off the shelf) compression garments are proven to provide variable compression and inconsistent benefits. Custom fit compression is the only way to ensure genuine and consistent benefits for every individual. Click on the video below to see why custom fit compression is so important.
Travelling soon? Why custom fit compression garments are so important.
Air travel can increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other circulatory problems due to prolonged periods of reduced mobility. Compression garments have been shown to reduce the incidence of DVT, superficial vein thrombosis and oedema during travel (Clarke et al., 2021). Who should use compression garments for travel? Anyone who undertakes frequent […]

New Year – Time to rethink compression!
With the start of the new year, it’s a good time to consider whether you are getting the most of out of your compression garments. Athletes have been using compression garments for many years to optimise recovery and performance. Until recently the only options available to athletes were commercially available, off the shelf garments, sized […]
