Faster injury recovery

Vulkan Si has been developed using only the highest quality grade of materials to help retain heat at the site of the injury, accelerating the healing process by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the damaged tissues. Increased blood flow occurs in heated parts of the body because heat helps relax the walls of blood vessels. This not only facilitates their repair, but increases the elasticity of tendons and ligaments, reduces muscle tension and spasms and helps prevent further injury.

The compression and tension provided by Vulkan Si supports help stimulate proprioceptors, which are found in tendons, muscles, ligaments and joints to provide information to the brain regarding the adjustment of posture and movement following an injury. Following an injury, proprioception is affected by the new sensations of pain which can cause immobility of the joint. The body progressively copes with biodynamic messages by adjusting its behaviour limiting the range of motion of the joint or compensates by using other muscles. Vulkan Si supports provide the compression that stimulates the proprioceptors to heighten the brain’s awareness of the situation making the muscle react and therefore stabilise the joint. The construction of the Vulkan Si support is unique. It is manufactured using a multi-layered construction with the most technically advanced materials and is enhanced with the Aerotherm™ circulation concept – a patented spiral lining to stimulate the micro -circulation and remove excess perspiration.
