Achilles tendinopathy is a common condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and swelling in the Achilles tendon, typically resulting from overuse, poor biomechanics, or inadequate recovery following physical activity. The condition can be classified into two types: insertional tendinopathy (where the tendon attaches to the heel bone) and mid-portion tendinopathy (occurring higher up the tendon). Achilles tendinopathy affects approximately 2-3 per 1,000 people annually in the general population. It is a significant issue among athletes, particularly those involved in activities that require running and jumping.

Symptoms include:

• - Pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon, particularly in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
• - Swelling and thickening of the tendon.
• - Pain that worsens with activity, especially running or jumping.
• - Limited range of motion in the ankle.

Causes of Achilles Tendinopathy

Achilles tendinopathy is primarily a result of mechanical overload or repetitive microtrauma to the Achilles tendon. Several factors contribute to the onset and progression of this condition, including intrinsic tendon-related factors, extrinsic factors related to activity and training, and systemic conditions:

• - Repetitive Overuse and Mechanical Load, such as Chronic overload or sudden increase in activity
• - Biomechanical Abnormalities, including abnormal foot mechanics, leg length discrepancies and poor ankle dorsiflexion
• - Age-related degeneration including tendon degeneration or creased healing capacity
• - Training Errors and Inappropriate footwear
• - Previous Injury and Tendon Weakness

Why Hyperice?

Research & Science - Hyperice is backed by a huge body of research and studies. This is hugely important as its evidence based technology and especially when looking at a commercial or team Recovery room to have this Research back up. Majority of the other brands do not have any research or studies. We felt this was hugely important when choosing to partner with Hyperice & Normatec as majority of our customers are evidence based practitioners.

Safety - FDA Cleared, CE Marked, TGA Registered (risks considered same as massage)Max pressure of 110 mmHg (less than 2.5 PSI) when using the Normatec boots. We feel this is the No 1 feature with the HyperIce brand. Without the proper Research at higher pressures there are naturally concerns as to the safety of those pressures in certain circumstances. Again when considering a Recovery Room that the general public and team will use this peace of mind and reassurance as to the safery of the products is paramount.

Technology - NormaTec system utilizes a patented technology that massages the legs, arms, or hips with pneumatic compression to enhance circulation and reduce soreness. NormaTec employs three forms of biomimicry to expedite recovery: Pulsing—dynamic compression mobilizes fluid. Gradient Hold—prevents fluid backflow. Distal Release—allows normal circulation. This patented dynamic compression is hugely effective and again with safety in mind

Support - We have been working for many years now with Normatec and Hyperice and the back up and Support to customers is excellent. As distributors this is a key feature to have that support from the Manufacturer so that we in turn can react quickly to any issues and support our customers.

Worldwide Recognition - Trusted by the top teams and clinics throughout the World. 97% of the Pro Teams in the US use Hyperice / Normatec to power their Recovery rooms.

Recovery Rooms in Ireland - We have helped establish and support Recovery rooms all across Ireland in the past 5 years and have built up a big base of knowledge on what works well and can support you on this.
