Wow – what a couple of months we have had due to the COVD19 virus!  I am sure you, like me, have had a big disruption...

A commonly used piece of equipment (a sacroiliac joint belt) has been traditionally used to help people who were experiencing pain from a hip, pelvic, groin, or lower back injury or pelvic instability.  Whilst effective, this sacroiliac joint belt had its drawbacks. It was difficult to wear whilst sleeping, whilst exercising, was completely unable to be worn on an elite sporting field, and it was bulky and overly visible. With the experience of a physiotherapist who specialized in pelvic and groin conditions in athletes, Supacore developed and patented CORETECH®, a compression product that combined the support of a sacroiliac joint belt into a pair of athletic shorts and tights – thus overcoming the drawbacks previously mentioned. Through testing with athletes and clinic patients, it was clear that the technology worked to decrease pain and recovery time and enabled athletes to return to training and competition with a much lower risk of re-injury. This was especially important when it came to chronic conditions such as Osteitis Pubis, hamstring and groin injury.
