Tendonitis - Kymira Infrared Tech

Tendonitis Sufferers - You Need to Know About Kymira's Infrared High Tech Relief

Tendonitis, that nagging pain caused by inflamed tendons, is faced by many of us, and can bench us from our favourite activities. It can strike various parts of the body, from the shoulders and elbows to the knees, wrists, and ankles. Repetitive strain injuries, whether from work or sports, are a frequent culprit.

This condition can also be referred to by specific terms depending on the location of the inflammation:

  • Shoulder: Rotator Cuff Tendinitis, Bicep Tendinitis
  • Elbow: Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis), Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
  • Knee: Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper's Knee)
  • Ankle: Peroneal Tendinitis, Tibialis Posterior Tendinitis
  • Wrist/Hand: De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, Trigger Finger/Thumb

Thankfully, research has shown that KYMIRA products significantly help the options for effective treatment. This article (based on an article posted by Kymira in September 2021) explores how Kymira infrared technology can be a valuable tool in your journey towards managing tendonitis and reclaiming an active lifestyle.

Understanding Tendons

Tendons are the tough, fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones. When we move, our muscles contract, pulling on the tendons to create movement. But repetitive motions can overload these tendons. This leads to inflammation and pain – tendonitis.

The Challenge of Tendonitis Healing

Tendons have an extremely poor blood supply, which can slow down healing. This is why treating tendonitis often involves a combination of approaches:

  • Eccentric strengthening exercises: These exercises lengthen the muscle and strengthen the tendon.
  • Manual therapy: Techniques like massage can improve flexibility and reduce pain.
  • Pain management: Medications like NSAIDs may help, although they don't address the underlying cause.

How Kymira Infrared Technology Helps

Kymira garments incorporate far-infrared technology. Here's how this can help you:

  • Increased Nitric Oxide Production: Kymira fabrics stimulate the body's production of nitric oxide, a molecule crucial for tendon healing. Nitric oxide helps tissue heal. It also reduces inflammation and improves blood flow. These are all vital for tendon recovery.
  • Enhanced Blood Flow: Kymira infrared technology improves blood circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the injured area. This accelerates healing and reduces stiffness.
  • Pain Relief: Kymira garments can help alleviate pain and discomfort, allowing for better mobility and participation in physical therapy exercises.

Real-Life Examples: Kymira and Achilles Tendon Recovery

Athletes understand the importance of fast recovery from injuries. Here's how Kymira infrared technology helped two athletes bounce back from Achilles tendon issues:

Challenger for ITU World Champion Aquabike Race, Carl Vidgen: After suffering an Achilles tendon injury, Carl struggled to train for triathlons. Kymira's infrared compression socks supported his calf muscle and Achilles tendon, allowing him to return to cycling much quicker than initially expected. This faster recovery helped him qualify for the World Aquabike Championships just months later.

“… This is where the KYMIRA Infrared compression socks aided my recovery. The design and technology supported my calf muscle and Achilles tendon meaning I returned to cycling much quicker than first diagnosedThe socks not only benefit me during exercise but pre and post they keep supporting my muscle/Tendon and the technology in them reduces delayed onset of muscle soreness."

Age Group Triathlete, Liam Walker: “After suffering from a very painful knee and most recently an Achilles injury KYMIRA clothing has definitely helped (and Goodbye DOM's, hello to longer, faster, better sessions too!). Let’s be honest though you'll probably still want to know if the materials are comfy and have a premium build and look good. I say without hesitation this is the case! I feel like a true athlete when I’m wearing KYMIRA".

Kymira: A Passive Approach to Faster Recovery

One of the biggest advantages of Kymira is that it's a passive approach to recovery. Simply wearing Kymira garments over the affected area can make a difference.

Remember: While Kymira is a powerful tool, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment of tendonitis.

It'd be wrong of us to suggest that by just wearing KYMIRA fabrics you won't need to do anything else to heal your tendonitis. But it certainly helps to speed up how fast your injury disappears.

By following the advice of a qualified medical professional and wearing KYMIRA during your rehab and recovery, your problem would almost certainly clear up faster and better.
