SIGVARIS introduced the Athletic Recovery sock, an Active Therapy compression garment, to improve athletic recovery and performance. The Athletic Recovery sock helps to flush out the lactic acids built up in the leg muscles during exercise, as well as relieve tired, aching legs and exercise-induced muscle soreness.  Whether it’s during the actual event, after the event, or even while traveling, athletes are making SIGVARIS Athletic Recovery graduated compression socks part of their everyday attire.

"As the global leader of graduated compression socks, we are very excited to be entering this new and emerging market segment of Athletic Recovery. SIGVARIS brings unequalled quality and expertise to a new demographic of competitive athletes and weekend warriors, many of whom may have been previously unfamiliar with graduated compression garments. The Athletic Recovery Sock is the first SIGVARIS product in the new Active Therapy series, with several additional products to be introduced in 2010", said Jonas Thelin, Director of Marketing, SIGVARIS North America.

The Athletic Recovery sock is made of drirelease® yarns to accelerate the water release rate of wet fabric, and includes environmentally-friendly FreshGuard® to eliminate odors by blocking odor-causing sebaceous body oils from attaching to the fabric.

Additional Athletic Recovery sock features & benefits include:
• Lactic acid flush-out and relief of delayed onset leg muscle soreness
• Superior Athletic Sizing Assortment, comfort and fit with 50+ years of graduated compression expertise
• Patented drirelease® and latex-free yarns with an embedded environmentally-friendly Freshguard® treatment that virtually eliminates odors
• True Graduated Compression from the global leader of graduated compression socks

SIGVARIS created http://www.athleticrecoverysock.com to provide consumers with information on the new Athletic Recovery sock, as well as a forum for athletes to discuss their compression therapy experiences and results. The website also includes related medical studies that support the science behind the use of compression therapy for athletic performance and recovery.

SIGVARIS, through the Athletic Recovery Sock line, has strategic partnerships in place with established endurance sports organizations in North America, such as: US Pro Triathlon Team, Road Runner’s Club of America (RRCA), and Cross Country Canada (CCC-skiing).
