WearTech Unveils First Electrotherapy Tights at Interbike

(Newswire.net — September 20, 2017) Gainesville, Georgia — Excitement abounds at the annual Interbike International Bicycle Exposition in Las Vegas, Nevada where Georgia-based WearTech Therapeutics, Inc. is introducing the world’s first electrotherapeutic conductive tights (visit Booth 24277).  As crowds convene for what is billed as the bicycle industry’s largest gathering to “celebrate, educate and conduct the business of cycling,” the newest technological advances are seizing the limelight. And WearTech Tights™ are front-and-center as cyclists seek the best aids for superior performance.

“Our tights will give athletes a competitive edge with increased endurance, more rapid recovery from strenuous training and competition, pain reduction and accelerated healing of legs at home or on the road, even while sleeping,” says WearTech CEO and Founder, Jim Johnson. “They offer an effective, non-drug therapy and performance enhancer that should become part of an athlete’s daily training and exercise regimen.”

Bicyclist John Howard is well-known at Interbike. He set the world bicycle land-speed record at 152.2 mph. Howard, a beta-tester of the WearTech Tights, reports they have brought him deep cellular and soft tissue mending from his on-going, hard training missions. Having seen over 500,000 cycling miles and over 30 years of running and training for mega-sports events, he knows his body and says: “The most notable regenerative quality I applaud is faster recovery for ramped training. WearTech Tights have become a welcome and essential product for this body.”

Multiple studies and years of research provide clinical proof of the high effectiveness of the WearTech Tights. They maintained full functionality even under strenuous conditions in testing by the United States Air Force to help pilots withstand rigorous training. WearTech broke a 34-year-old FDA regulatory glass ceiling allowing it to introduce and sell its therapeutic tights over-the-counter without a prescription.

The world’s foremost ultra-distance runner and founder of international Friendship Runs, Stan Cottrell, was another beta-tester of the WearTech Tights whose conclusions are available to the crowds here. Cottrell, who has run over 250,000 miles through 40 countries in his career and knows the biophysical and medical dynamics involved in endurance sports, acknowledges that: “The science, research and medical documentation behind the Sport-Z is staggering, sufficient to satisfy the most discerning evaluator-critic. The tights are like having my own personal physical therapist working on me while I sleep.”

In addition to the intrigue of new bikes and technology, exposition attendees appear to be especially interested in drug-free solutions for performance enhancement, help with leg pain, and recovery from extreme or prolonged exertion. So many have been crowding around the WearTech exhibit and Johnson for demonstrations of the new tights.

Answering a crowd’s questions about electrotherapy and medical devices is not new to Johnson, a 35-year veteran of the medical devices industry with major new product launches. He was a panel expert earlier this year in London at the Wearable Technologies Show and will be a featured speaker in November at the Medicine+Sports Conference, a part of the world’s largest medical devices meeting in Dusseldorf. Immediately after Interbike, Johnson and WearTech are off to the Isle of Jersey where they are a Sponsor and Supplier Partner of the international SuperLeague Triathlon.

Johnson eagerly explains how WearTech’s patented technology increases micro-circulation and stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes at the cellular level as proven in clinical studies. The result is relief of muscle strain and muscle spasticity, removal of lactic acid, reduction in inflammation and swelling, better pain management, and the promotion of overall soft tissue recovery both from injuries and from the stresses of rigorous exercise.

The tights are also reported to be comfortable, safe and easy-to-wear. The company’s Sport-Z ™ neuromuscular and pain-relief DC stimulator uses proprietary, state-of-the-art, microprocessor technology. This makes the stimulators very small and light, easily worn on each leg of the tights to apply continuous, alternating, DC electrotherapeutic energy wirelessly through the tights’ highly-conductive electro-mesh silver yarn (EMSY). The fabric, too, has proven effectiveness with 20 published clinical studies and treatments of more than 300,000 patients. EMSV safety is assured with a sixteen-year safety record and biocompatibility and cytotoxicity laboratory studies.

It’s no wonder cyclists at Interbike are drawn to the tights.
