The genesis of TAPE SOCKS

The direct contact with one of our physical therapists got us thinking about something extraordinary – a concept that we believe can maximally help athletes in their pursuit of improvement as well as facilitate their path to success. A unique and innovative idea.

Ultimately, we concluded that applying targeted compression to the affected area of an injury would not only speed up recovery, but also improve the athlete’s athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury.

After two years of intensive work and research within the R&D department of RESETSPORT and ENFORMASOCKS, the TAPE SOCKS project was born – based on kinesiology.

We would like to explain this now in a more technical way, so that we can clear up any questions and doubts:

Operation

By simulating the action of a neuromuscular proprioceptive tape (as in taping foot or ankle), external support is provided without restricting range of motion. This stabilizes the ankle and significantly reduces the risk of injury, such as:

• Tendon plate inflammation (plantar fasciitis)
• Tibial meningitis (tibial periostitis)
• Stretching of the outer ankle ligament complex
• Achilles tendinitis (Achilles tendinitis)

The structure is created by applying bands with different tensions similar to well-known sports tapes, combined with an internal fixation of polymer that acts as an anchor, similar to classic bandage fixations. This stimulates blood flow and muscle function in a very targeted way, leading to improved athletic performance and physical well-being.

Advantages

• Dynamic support
• Improves blood flow during exercise
• Improves biomechanical posture
• Shortens recovery time
• Prevents injuries
• Improves performance
• Ultralight
• Waterproof
• Easy to use

Indications

• Use only during sports activities
• Wash before use to prevent skin reactions caused by silicone catalysts
• Do not use in vascular disorders
• Not suitable for diabetics
• Do not use outside of sports practice (may cause fluid retention)
• Do not use during pregnancy

Composition

• Compression: Medically certified firm pressure
• Stability: Up to the knee or ankle
• Application: Suitable for all sports and disciplines, except in cold temperatures
