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 to have variable levels of compression (Hill et al., 2016) and therefore inconsistent benefits (Weakley et al. 2021). How can these garments possibly optimise recovery and performance of elite athletes? Quite simply they don’t! This is why scientists at Cape Bionics have applied leading edge technology from

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 levels. One way that this can be achieved is through the use of compression therapy – and the research is compelling around its efficacy! Compression therapy works by applying controlled pressure to a select part of the body. This pressure helps improve circulation, reduce swelling,
