The Science Behind Coretech®: A Decade of R&D in Compression Innovation

Supacore’s Coretech® technology represents over ten years of dedicated research and development in compression science, physiotherapy innovation, and biomechanical engineering. By integrating medical-grade compression into performance wear, Coretech® has redefined how athletes, postpartum women, and individuals recovering from injuries experience support and recovery.

What Is Coretech®?

Coretech® is Supacore’s patented compression system, developed over a decade by physiotherapists and biomechanical engineers. It incorporates the functionality of sacroiliac and pelvic support belts into seamless compression shorts and leggings, providing targeted support to the core, pelvis, and lower back. This design aims to stabilize the pelvis and enhance proprioception, benefiting athletes, postpartum women, and individuals recovering from injuries.

The Science of Compression: How It Works

Compression garments apply controlled pressure to specific body areas, which can:

• Enhance blood flow: Compression can improve venous return, reducing muscle soreness and accelerating recovery post-exercise.
  
• Reduce muscle oscillation: By minimizing muscle vibrations during activity, compression wear can decrease fatigue and the risk of injury.
  
• Improve proprioception: Enhanced body awareness can lead to better movement control and reduced injury risk.
  

These physiological benefits are crucial for both athletic performance and rehabilitation.

Coretech® in Physiotherapy and Women's Health

Beyond sports, Coretech® has applications in physiotherapy and women's health:

• Postpartum recovery: The compression supports abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor, aiding in recovery after childbirth.
  
• Pelvic dysfunction management: For conditions like Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), Coretech® provides stabilization, reducing pain and improving mobility.
  

These applications highlight Coretech®'s versatility in addressing various health needs.

Evidence-Based Benefits

Research supports the efficacy of compression garments:

• A study in Scientific Reports found that compression tights enhanced blood flow and reduced muscle soreness during post-exercise recovery.
  
• The Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences reported that compression wear improves proprioception, aiding in injury prevention and rehabilitation.
  

These findings underscore the scientific foundation of Coretech® technology.

Conclusion

Supacore's Coretech® represents a significant advancement in compression science, blending a decade of research with practical application. Its role in enhancing performance, supporting recovery, and aiding in various health conditions makes it a valuable tool in both athletic and medical settings.
