Isobar Compression

Isobar Compression We develop high-performance custom compression therapy wear for the sports and travel/lifestyle markets using groundbreaking technology

Isobar Compression uses unique technology in its exact-fit compression socks to significantly reduce the risk of DVT in frequent and long-haul flyers. Precisely-fitted compression socks almost entirely eliminate the risk of DVT. By using a 3D scan of both legs, we produce garments that are stitched to an exact fit - making them more effective and comfortable. Isobar compression was developed by a

research team at Manchester University, led by Professor of Surgery Charles McCollum, a leading vascular surgeon. They are vastly more effective than off-the-shelf compression, as without a bespoke fit, the pressure delivered by the garment is essentially unknown. Isobar's technology is unique in that it can deliver a bespoke fit as well as accurate, precise pressure. Companies are turning to Isobar Compression to mitigate against the risk of DVT and pulmonary embolism (PE) for businessmen and women who travel frequently. Isobar garments also deliver for elite and amateur athletes. 57 British Olympic medals were won at the last Olympics by athletes using Isobar for post-exercise recovery - with research proving compression reduces muscle soreness after training or competition.

The difference is in the details.

Olympic gymnast has made ISOBAR part of his daily recovery routine, using personalised compression therapy built around his exact leg size, shape and recovery needs.

“As a gymnast, I’m always looking for those extra 1%s that can really make the difference. Initially I started using ISOBAR to help control ankle swelling. It has now become part of my daily recovery routine. The compression is built around my exact leg shape using 3D scanning, so the fit and pressure feel targeted rather than just a guessing game.”

- Precision pressure
- Personalised fit
- Part of Luke’s daily recovery routine

Because when performance is personal, recovery should be too.

Recovery isn’t one moment. It’s a cycle.

- Travel
- Training
- Match day
- Recovery days
- Rehabilitation

Every stage places different demands on the athlete.

That’s why Worcestershire County Cricket Club is incorporating ISOBAR personalised compression therapy into its recovery strategy.

As Andy Powell, Head of Sports Science and Medicine, explains, ISOBAR can be used across different phases of the performance cycle to help players recover, prepare and perform throughout a demanding season.

Using individual pressure profiling and ISOFIT video scanning technology, every product is built around the athlete to deliver precise, personalised pressure when they need it most.

Your treatment is personal.

Your recovery is personal.

So your compression therapy should be personal too.

No two people are the same.

Different bodies. Different symptoms. Different recovery journeys.

But many compression products still rely on standard sizing and broad pressure range assumptions.

At ISOBAR, we believe compression therapy should be designed around the individual supporting comfort, mobility, recovery and confidence in everyday life.

Because personalised care can help change lives.

Whether that means:
✓ Walking more comfortably
✓ Managing swelling
✓ Recovering with confidence
✓ Getting back to doing the things you love

Better Therapy. Better Outcomes. Better You.

ISOBAR. Personalised Compression Therapy. For your body and your life.

Great to hear Dr Jess Hill, Professor of Physiology at St Mary's University, discussing an important topic in recovery on the Seasoned Strides Recovery Special podcast, and mentioning ISOBAR.

One of the most interesting points raised was this:

Two people can wear the same size compression garment and still receive completely different levels of support.

Why?
Because everyone’s body is different.

Two runners may both wear a “medium”, but have completely different calf sizes, muscle profile, limb shape and recovery needs. Standard sizing based on height and weight doesn’t always account for those differences.

As Dr Hill explains:
“The gold standard compression garment would be made to measure.”

That thinking sits at the heart of ISOBAR Personalised Compression Therapy.

Using ISOFIT™ video scanning and personalised pressures, ISOBAR is designed around the individual, helping create a more accurate fit and more consistent compression support for recovery, rehabilitation, swelling management and performance.

Because if recovery matters…
Should compression still be one-size-fits-all?

A really worthwhile listen for runners, athletes, clinicians and anyone interested in the future of personalised recovery and compression.

Recovery should be precise.
But it also needs to fit real life.

Training. Travel. Recovery between sessions.

ISOBAR’s patented 2-layer recovery kit combines precision pressure + personalised fit to support athletes when it matters most.

✔️ Light recovery + travel support
✔️ Targeted calf support
✔️ 2-layer recovery mode for higher therapeutic compression post-training

Powered by QuadraCore™ technology, every product is precision-engineered for the athlete using ISOFIT video scanning and pressure profiling.

And built to last.

Advanced NeoMesh™ fabrics maintain consistent pressure and performance, even after repeated wear and washing while staying breathable and comfortable on longer training and travel days.

“I have flown 3 times with these now and won’t fly without them.”

Personalised Compression Therapy. Engineered for You.

At World Tour level, recovery isn’t something that happens later.

It starts the second the rider steps off the bike.

For NETCOMPANY INEOS Cycling Team, every detail matters between one stage and the next. Travel, time spent sitting still, inflammation, blood flow, comfort and recovery all become part of the performance picture.

That’s where ISOBAR comes in.

Performance Director, Dr Scott Drawer, explains that the team use ISOBAR as part of their wider recovery cycle, alongside nutrition, fuelling and sleep, to help riders stay ready day after day during stage races.

The difference is personalisation.

Every rider is scanned. Every design is built around their individual physiology. Every product is made to consistently deliver the optimum amount of pressure for their performance needs, not just a standard fit pulled from a shelf.

Because recovery should be as precise as performance.

Elite athletes personalise everything.

Their bike fit.
Their footwear.
Their nutrition.
Their training plan.

So why should recovery be any different?

At the highest level, recovery isn’t optional - it’s part of performance.

Because staying consistent, reducing fatigue and being ready to go again tomorrow matters just as much as the session itself.

We asked elite athletes why they personalise recovery and how they use ISOBAR throughout their performance cycle - from training and travel to competition and recovery.

Because if recovery isn’t precise, performance won’t be either.

We recently met with Luke Whitehouse to deliver a personalised ISOBAR recovery kit to support ankle swelling and discomfort during training.

Luke had previously been using strapping tape to help manage swelling around the ankle.

The issue with tape is that it can be labour-intensive, and it does not allow the level of pressure being applied to be accurately controlled.

Following a recommendation from his physio, Gill Davy at Physio Action, Luke has now been provided with the unique ISOBAR two-layer sports recovery kit, designed to help him manage swelling and speed recovery with controlled, personalised compression and advanced performance fabrics.

ISOBAR delivers true therapeutic pressure, up to 50 mmHg, while staying comfortable.

Each layer can be worn alone or combined, giving you three recovery modes in one system.

At ISOBAR, our compression is personalised to the individual, helping athletes move away from guesswork and towards more consistent recovery support.

Personalised pressure.
Beyond Expectation.
Engineered for you.

Triathletes obsess over precision in training - pacing, splits, power, load management.

But recovery is still often treated with guesswork.

Compression, mobility work, massage guns and stretching all have value, but without consistency or measurable control, outcomes become unpredictable.

Performance is a continuous cycle - training, travel, competition, and recovery all influence readiness and results.

Recovery isn’t passive.

It’s a performance variable.

The future of athlete recovery is personalised, measurable, and specific to every phase of performance.

Because if recovery isn’t precise, performance won’t be either.
