Never Leave Home Without Your Anti-Inflammatory Wear
Through various product studies, we have documented the best way for accelerating recovery is to increase circulation. Increasing circulation may sound like you are being warmed you up; however, increasing circulation can also cool you down. This is called Thermo-Regulation, optimizing your body to flush out inflammation.
The Best Alternative Pain Relief & Injury Prevention For Athletes
Alternative pain relief can often be tough to find when you’re a young or professional athlete with an injury. Because athletes are constantly trying to develop and grow in their performance, injuries can often be a constant battle.In 2016, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) reported participation in High School sports was on the rise; with an increase of approximately 25K boys to an all-time high over 4.54 million, and approximately 36.6K girls to an all-time high over 3.32 million. Among the top sports of both boys & girls, Track & Field was in the top rankings for athlete participation.
Track & Field carries several risks for injuries that can end an athlete’s ability to compete. Incrediwear is the best alternative pain relief for athletes to recover quicker by reducing inflammation and pain. Some of the main injuries that occur in Track & Field are Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis, IT Band Syndrome, Runner’s Knee, and Shin Splints; all of which involve inflammation and pain in the lower extremities. Where it is recommended to ice some of these injuries; Incrediwear can actually be used as instant ice when drenched in warm water, making Incrediwear a multi-dimensional product for alternative pain relief.
Incrediwear is not only the best alternative pain relief for its effectiveness to reduce inflammation & pain, but Incrediwear helps keep young and professional athletes from re-injuries; proving that increasing circulation is a vital key to an athlete’s longevity.
One of the highest likely injuries in sports — across the board — are ACL injuries. Women & young girls especially are at high risk. Overall, girls are about 8 times more likely to suffer ACL injuries than boys, and about 70% of all ACL injuries involve little to no contact with another competitor.
There are over 100,000 ACL sustained injuries in the U.S. every year, which exceeds over $1 billion in health care costs. Incrediwear is not only the best effective option for recovery & pain relief, but also financially as the percentage of young athletes — 18 and under — is on the rise every year.
Pain Relief Apparel For Your Core
Your core is an essential part of who you are. Most people remain unaware that the strength of their core is crucial to their health. Basic household chores such as vacuuming, mopping, gardening, mowing the lawn, all involve energy that pass through the core. Sports such as Golf, Tennis, Biking, Running, Swimming, Basketball, and Football all rely on keeping core muscles strengthened. Everyday acts such as putting on your shoes, sitting in a chair, getting dressed, or standing up are just a few mundane actions that rely on the strength of your core.In a Best Health article, Renee Whitney — a personal trainer and owner of Focus Personal Fitness — describes the importance our core strength has on our quality of life. Using the spinal chord as an example; she explains, “If you have pressure on it because it isn’t well supported by your core muscles, then it is going to affect your movements. It will eventually cause pain, and that will affect the quality of your life.”
Low back pain affects 4/5 Americans during the course of their lives, which may be prevented by building stronger core muscles through a core strength exercise regimen(s). Strengthening your core can be tedious and strenuous, especially if you are dealing with an injury. The question is, how do you support your recovery and get the pain relief you need?
What some of our customers have mistaken for a girdle (and we’re not going to point fingers), is our Incrediwear Body Sleeve that is embedded with a high percentage of Germanium to increase circulation to your core, providing pain relief & accelerated recovery.
The Body Sleeve is not a compression product like a girdle; instead it is pain relief apparel used to accelerate recovery after core workouts and/or provide pain relief for injuries while you sleep. A bandage wrap can bunch up while you move during the night, and it can be difficult to get comfortable in a back brace while you sleep. In fact, sleeping in a back brace is rarely ever recommended. This is why the Incrediwear Body Sleeve was designed to be like a glove for your core, keeping your core circulation increased, and inflammation reduced.
The Incrediwear Body Sleeve can be used for several conditions to accelerate recovery, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation from symptoms affiliated with: strains & muscle injuries, acute/chronic injuries, lower/mid back pain, muscle spasms, pinched nerve(s), postpartum pregnancy, and breast augmentation.
The Incrediwear Body Sleeve is just one of our many pain relief apparel products that provide people with an alternative pain relief method to not only feel better, but recover faster. You can visit our studies page and see the difference Incrediwear makes in various types of injuries and conditions.
Reducing Recovery Time For Injuries
(Incrediwear's profile on Manteo Mitchell brings a powerful testimonial for Incrediwear's Sleeve).
Calf tear injuries are explained in three grade types of injuries:
Grade one is classified as the muscle being stretched to cause small micro tears in the muscle fibers. The process for full recovery time is approximately 2 to 4 weeks.
Grade two is classified as the muscle being stretched to the point where the muscle
fibers are partially torn. Full recovery time for this takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks.
Grade three is classified as the most severe calf strain injury, with a complete tear or rupture of the muscle fibers in the lower leg. Full recovery can take 3 to 4 months. Surgery may also be required in some cases.
On the road to recovery, (in all three grades), the first phase is always about reducing inflammation and providing pain relief. However, anti-inflammatory drugs are discouraged for the first 48 to 72 hours of injury because they may encourage additional bleeding.
Incrediwear, as an alternative anti-inflammatory, is a natural way to reduce swelling and bring pain relief. This means our products can be used immediately after injury. By increasing circulation, we have shown our products can accelerate recovery time by 46%, (as seen in our “Real Salt Lake” study).
The Calf Sleeve was just one of the many products used in the soccer team’s season to help players recover quickly from muscle injuries. The Calf Sleeve not only provides an alternative way to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, but it gives additional support to the muscle to help prevent injuries from reoccurring.
Pain Relief Apparel For Life Without Limits
Pain relief plays a huge role in how we cope with our lives. If we are experiencing physical pain, physiological pain, and/or emotional pain; all types of pain should be addressed to cultivate our core to better our health.What is often overlooked for pain relief is the cognitive function. What can cause us to believe we are in pain? According to Global Organization for Stress, stress is a major player in the lives of many adults worldwide that can increase our perception of our pain. The higher the stress, the more likely you will feel your pain is intensified. Stress and pain can be linked very close. This vicious cycle sets us up to experience not only chronic pain from previous injuries, but also chronic stress. Thus, part of pain relief is learning how to root out and manage our stress. Several studies support that stress can cause depression and/or anxiety, which can increase pain.
Last year, many American adults continued to report high levels of stress and many of them reported an increase in stress. The number for American adults who experience panic disorders is about 1 in 75, and 80% of American workers say they feel stress in their job, with approximately half admitting they need help learning to manage stress.
People with high stress can experience numerous physical symptoms such as; low energy, headaches, nausea, chest pains or rapid heartbeat, Insomnia, frequent colds & infections, loss of sexual desire or ability, nervousness, dry mouth, clenched jaw and grinding teeth.
Cognitive and emotional symptoms of stress include; constant worrying, poor judgment, becoming easily agitated, constantly focusing on the negative, feeling overwhelmed, having difficulty relaxing, avoiding others, feeling bad about yourself, and exhibiting nervous behaviors such as nail biting, fidgeting or pacing.
Injuries, whether acute or chronic, can often be stressful to deal with on a daily basis. If your body is in pain, then it is tough to focus on what you can do to mentally relax. Incrediwear’s active pain relief and recovery apparel helps with the physical aspect of pain, by increasing circulation to reduce inflammation, muscle fatigue, and accelerate recovery from symptoms affiliated with acute/chronic injuries, arthritis, tendonitis, impact injuries, and sports injuries to provide pain relief.
While Incrediwear helps manage your pain, there are some things you can do mentally to help relieve pain as well that involves destressing your mind. Relaxation training is one method, which involves concentrating on slowing and deepening your breathing. Learning this takes time and practice, but learning relaxation training can focus attention away from pain and release tension from your muscles.
Keeping positive thoughts at the forefront of your mind can also be helpful. Visualizing pleasant imagery, pleasant scenes, or thinking of positive words or phrases throughout your day can help reduce stress and bring pain relief.
Lastly, exercise to the best of your ability. Releasing endorphins is critically beneficial to your health and pain relief. Endorphins are hormones generated by your body. Many people don’t know endorphins are powerful in helping with pain relief because they help block pain signals from connecting with the pain receptors of your brain. Getting a massage also helps release this beneficial hormone, which could be a reward to yourself for getting in a good workout.
Alternative Pain Relief
How much do you spend on pain relief? It’s a rhetorical question, but statistics show that the annual cost of healthcare due to pain ranges from $560 billion to $635 billion in 2010. This is in the United States alone, which combines the economic and medical costs to disability days, lost wages, and productivity.It is estimated that approximately 42 million of American adults report that pain and/or physical discomfort hurt their sleep cycle a few nights a week or more. Back pain is the leading pain condition to these reports at approximately 27%, followed by headaches, migraines, and neck pain at approximately 15%.
How we deal with pain can not only affect our finances, but hinder in keeping our bodies truly healthy. For example; in a study conducted in 2010 with over 1000 participants, those who participated suffered either mostly from common leg or back pain. In the study, participants were given prescription drugs (non-placebo). Many of the participants still reported having chronic pain affect their everyday lives as much as it did before.
Dr. Gary Franklin, M.D. – who was quoted in a consumer reports article – stated, “What concerns me is that there is no clear evidence that people who take opioids over the long term can do more or get around more easily. But we do know that the higher the dose of the drug and the longer you take it, the greater your risk.”
What is a better solution than having to take higher doses of prescription pain relief drugs? The answer is Incrediwear. Our studies have shown that our products increase circulation and decrease inflammation & pain by an average of 75% in people who suffer from Neuropathy. In a seven-day trial, 3/4 people noticed a significant decrease in their pain to little to no pain at end of the seventh day. We have seen similar effects in people with arthritis, tendonitis, and variety of other conditions. The answer really is that simple, increase circulation! By significantly & effectively increasing circulation, our products are revolutionizing the health & fitness, medical, pharmaceutical, and natural wellness industries worldwide.
Our products are embedded with active elements (Carbon & Germanium) that work naturally with your body. These elements are activated by your body heat, and relieve pain, stiffness, reduce inflammation from symptoms affiliated with: arthritis, tendonitis, neuropathy, impact injuries, muscle fatigue, achy joints, and much more.
We are already becoming known as anti-inflammatory wear by medical professionals, and are looking to develop our products more to become an even greater alternative to your pain relief needs!
Knee Injury Prevention
The three basic knee injury prevention tips are stretch, strengthen, and stop. These tips are not designed to increase performance, but rather keep the goal of preventing injury in the forefront of your mind.
Stretching begins with flexibility or getting the blood flowing throughout the surrounding muscles of the knee such as; the hip, thigh, hamstring, groin, glutes, and knee flexors and extensors. Flexibility declines with age and can be tough to regain. It is best to keep a constant daily routine of stretching. Since knee injuries, aches and pain are one of the most common injuries and physical ailments; Incrediwear’s Knee Sleeve maintains the ability to increase circulation, which can help when it comes to stretching.
The Incrediwear Knee Sleeve is flexible, allowing for the knee to bend slowly during stretching exercises. Proper stretching before exercising or just in general allows the knees to remain flexible during movement and through every day activities.
Next, to help prevent knee injury is strengthening. Strengthening the knee, begins with working the muscles around it, specifically in the hip, thigh, glutes, knee extensors, and the knee joint. Strengthening lower leg muscles such as the ankle plantar-flexors & dorsi-flexors is also recommended.
While the traditional ways to strengthen these areas is by utilizing free weight exercises or weight machines, there are some key exercises you can do right in your office or home when you can’t get to the gym. You can use body exercises such as squats, wall squats or lunges. Use caution when doing all these exercises, as form is very important to not cause self-injury. If you have knee problems already, and are looking to work on strengthening your knees, we recommend doing these techniques with Incrediwear Knee Sleeves.
Incrediwear Knee Sleeves are great for strengthening exercises, and can help you push your limits. For example, if you are looking to do wall squats, but are unable to squat down at a 45 to 90-degree angle; we recommend wearing our Knee Sleeve and simply starting where you feel comfortable. Remain squatting as long as you can, and slowly walk your way back to a standing position. Keep wearing the Incrediwear Knee Sleeve throughout the day for recovery.
Other products such as Leg Sleeve(s), Men’s or Women’s Performance Pants, and Ankle Sleeve(s) are available for recovery for the surrounding Knee muscles. It is our recommendation that if you are doing any heavy squat-lifts, wear our Knee Sleeves during, and then Leg Sleeve(s) after.
Finally, know when stop. Over-exercising causes many health problems such as; bodily catabolic state (body tissues break down), excess in cortisol (a stress hormone released that leads to chronic disease), increased risk of injury, microscopic tears in the muscle fibers, weakened immune system, and possible development of insomnia. More serious risks involve damage to the heart and cardiac arrest.
Rest is an important part of recovery. This is why Incrediwear Knee Sleeves are such an important part of recovery because during rest, your knees are still benefiting from the embedded elements in the fabric fibers of the Incrediwear Knee Sleeve. This is what we call accelerated recovery.
Accelerating recovery allows you to push your limits when you are active, helping you remain in an active lifestyle. Our knees are a big part of keeping us moving day-to-day. And Incrediwear is dedicated to making the best possible product to help you take care of them.
Roll With the Punches
Luis Garcia is a rising athlete in the boxing profession, and is one of Incrediwear’s new ambassadors. Garcia was raised in Ixtlán Del Río, Mexico, but was originally born in Juneau, Alaska. At age 11, he moved back to the states and began his boxing career at age 17. He identifies as an Alaska-Mexican Boxer. |

Garcia’s determination and dedication to the sport has made him rise to become a local star in Juneau, Alaska. His fighting style can somewhat mimic the out-fighter style, which boxers like Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Benny Leonard, and Gene Tunney are known for. But Garcia considers “his style” more of a mix between Mexican and his favorite boxer, Canelo Alvarez, who tends to lean toward the boxer-puncher and counterpuncher styles.
Whatever people believe Garcia’s style is, the fact is it’s working extremely well in the ring. With a 23-3-0 record so far, Garcia’s continued success is moving him to take the next step in his career by fighting outside of Alaska.

On November 17, 2016, Garcia sent Incrediwear a video of him training with an Incrediwear Calf Sleeve testifying “been abusing the calf sleeve and it’s been doing me wonders!” The process of watching some Garcia’s bouts was such a treat for the Incrediwear organization that the decision was quickly made to bring Garcia onboard.
Incrediwear knows the range of injuries boxers can attain during a bout. Some of the more common injuries are; cuts and bruises, sprains and strains, concussions, fractures, and dislocated shoulder(s). Where Incrediwear can’t keep a boxer from being cut or bruised by incoming fists; Incrediwear products can focus on accelerating a boxer’s recovery and injury prevention specifically with sprains, strains, certain fractures, and dislocated shoulders.
Incrediwear’s injury prevention and accelerated recovery allow athletes to not only protect their muscles from fatigue or injury during their workouts, but allows for increased circulation while they are at rest. The benefits range from pain relief, decreased inflammation & swelling, increased oxygen to the muscles, and optimized performance.
It is our privilege to help young athletes like Garcia and veteran athletes maintain their health and fitness to assist them in optimizing their performance and recovery so that they can be at their best.
Life On the Downhill - Maria Tviberg
Incrediwear features our newest ambassador, Maria Tviberg, this week as a rising star in her discipline. Tviberg is a Norwegian Alpine Skier, who competes for the national team of Norway. She moved to Geilo at age 14 with her family in order to ski more.
“My family has sacrificed a lot to get me to where I am today,” Tviberg said. “In my spare time I like to use my time with my family and friends, and I also have a dog who I love being with.”
Alpine (AKA downhill) skiing highlights competitors to race down snow covered slopes on skis with fixed heel bindings. Skiers follow the fall line down the slope’s steepest direction, trying to beat the fastest time of other skiers. As a result, many accidents happen from a skier’s miscalculation, resulting in an isolated fall. Knee injuries account for over 30% of Alpine skiing injuries.

Despite being quite young, Maria has dealt with numerous injuries over the years. However, she keeps a positive attitude because she believes when you are positive, anything is possible.
"I’ve dealt with many injuries,” Tviberg comments. “Incrediwear has been a big help in my recovery and rehab. They made me able to train harder and more, to get me back on track where I belong; the slopes, with skies on my feet! I love the products especially the knee sleeves, recovery legs and socks stand out to me."
Out of the total events she competed in for 2015; Tviberg placed in the top four of eleven events, five of which she won overall. Her determination, positive attitude, and enthusiasm for skiing is a huge part of what inspires us at Incrediwear to produce active recovery products to help athletes and active people everywhere to recover faster, and optimize performance for whatever mountain(s) in life you need to conquer.
