Recover

Recover

The second part of the OPROtec ethos focuses on recovery.

Unfortunately, injuries happen and we know being side-lined from activity is tough. But at OPROtec, we want to get you on the road to healing as soon as possible. Our sleeves, supports, and braces have all been created with materials and designs that warm and compress muscles to encourage blood flow and kickstart your body's natural healing process.

Neoprene Fit

Neoprene is a padded, stretchy, weather-resistant fabric with several unique qualities that promote recovery, the most important being its thermal properties. The neoprene in OPROtec products provides thermal compression and heat retention that promotes more efficient healing and muscle and joint movement. Neoprene retains heat - this leads to an increased oxygen consumption that aids in raising lactic acid thresholds. This, in turn, maximises blood flow to the area and reduces inflammation and pain.

Knitted Compression

The OPROtec ankle, calf, knee, and elbow sleeves all feature seamless knitting technology. Unlike other materials that may have thick seams that dig into the skin, the seamless design is specifically engineered for long-lasting comfort during athletic activity. OPROtec knitted sleeves help improve muscle performance and muscle recovery from injury through compression and increased blood flow to affected areas.

 

Relieve

Relieve

The final part of the OPROtec ethos is relief - relief from the pain and relief from the stresses of being injured.

All of our products are designed to get you back to activity as soon as possible and keep you moving throughout the recovery process. The last thing you want to deal with when working through an injury is having an uncomfortable brace or sleeve.

That's why OPROtec supports and sleeves are designed with the wearer in mind. Tested for fit on multiple body shapes, they have been created to be comfortable and provide support when worn for long periods.

Silicone Grip

We've included a soft, silicone print in the unique OPROtec design on the inside of many OPROtec products. It is there to ensure that your support stays securely in place whilst you are wearing it and does not slip or move, even during strenuous exercise.
