Incrediwear works by increasing blood circulation around the affected area using an innovative combination of germanium and carbon woven into the fibres of the fabric. Even for athletes, maximising performance is all about recovery, and Incrediwear’s innovative technology helps minimize the inflammatory process and heal the area better.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis can be caused by injury, disease or overuse, and is often recognised by swollen, stiff or painful areas of the body. Tendonitis can affect any tendon in the body but is most commonly found in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers, knee or heel.
There are occupational considerations for tendonitis and it is more common for those who perform repetitive motions and non-ergonomic positions. Overexertion of muscles and overhead reaching can also increase risks associated with tendonitis. The condition can also affect athletes, with a wide range of sporting activities included in the list of potential development of tendonitis.
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time.
Compared with joints without injuries, joints with injuries are about seven times more likely to develop arthritis. The most commonly affected joints are in your hands, knees, hips and spine.
Incrediwear’s technology is built into the sleeves, wraps and braces, which increase blood flow and reduce inflammation. A recent study on the effects of Incrediwear Knee Sleeve and Osteoarthritis pain relief was published in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine. The findings showed a significant decrease in pain for people who suffer from osteoarthritis from the continued use of germanium-embedded knee sleeve.
