As the designer of BASE Compression, I love hearing from customers. It's the best way to understand how you're using our products and gives me the chance to answer some questions that pop up from time to time. I want to share with you the numerous benefits of recovery compression.
You may have heard the hype surrounding recovery tights and wondered what all the fuss is about. After years of athlete testing and thoughtful design and innovation, our garments are crafted and optimised for recovery and performance.
One common question we receive from our customers is: What is mmHg?
Despite sounding fancy, mmHg is simply a unit of measurement that stands for millimetres of mercury and is used to express pressure. When we're talking mmHg for compression garments, it indicates the level of compression the garment provides. The higher the mmHg, the more pressure the garment applies to the body, which helps improve blood flow and reduce muscle vibration - ultimately leading to faster recovery and improved performance!
Our BASE Recovery Tights are specifically designed to provide optimum compression and recovery benefits. Our fabric converts body heat into infrared energy, so it's able to provide your body with a renewable energy source - accelerating the healing process, reducing pain, and amplifying stamina and endurance.
Whether you're an everyday warrior or a professional athlete, recovery compression can be a powerful tool to enhance your performance and overall well-being.
Our goal is to drive continual innovation and consistently improve our products for the benefit of athletes worldwide. Check out some more benefits below on compression.
