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.

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.

Good luck to all the athletes at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships 2026.

It’s officially kicked off at the London Aquatics Centre with an action-packed week where we witness a world-class, fully-integrated para-swimming and swimming programme that demands nothing but peak performance.

At ISOBAR, we know to compete at this level is all about precision – getting the right intervention at the right time. The race doesn’t just happen in the pool; it happens during travel, in training and in the recovery blocks between heats. For the GB Aquatic athletes we support, maintaining power, flushing out fatigue and accelerating recovery is critical for elite performance day after day.

We are proud to see our personalised, precision-engineered compression therapy supporting these athletes as they chase their dreams on the national stage.

Arrive Fresher. Recover Faster. Perform Stronger.

Fantastic morning at New Road, scanning the first team squad ahead of the season kicking off.

The players and staff all were really keen to learn about how ISOBAR compression is different to generic compression brands.

All players were interested to see how they could give themselves the edge over the competition over the course of a long and demanding summer. It was especially valuable to hear firsthand about the players’ specific recovery challenges that ISOBAR compression wear could support — including shin splints, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and calf and thigh strains.

Addressing the Demands of Professional Cricket: Through our discussions, we identified several specific recovery challenges where ISOBAR’s precision-engineered compression can provide critical support where it matters:
1. Managing Repetitive Stress: Targeted support for shin splints and calf/thigh strains common in explosive bowling and fielding.
2. Accelerating Recovery: Flushing out Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) to maintain power across consecutive match days.
3. Travel & Static Fatigue: Maintaining circulation during long-haul travel and hours spent standing in the field.

The ISOBAR Standard: Pressure & Performance.
Unlike generic, off-the-shelf compression, ISOBAR delivers custom pressure, custom-fit and lasting performance designed to enhance healing, speed recovery and reduce the risk of injury.

We are proud to support Worcestershire County Cricket Club as they integrate precision-engineered compression into their 2026 recovery protocol. 🤝 Is your team ready to move beyond generic compression? We collaborate with elite organisations to eliminate guesswork in recovery. Connect with us to learn more about our professional partnerships.

Elite Recovery for the Modern Triathlete:
x

In a sport defined by back-to-back intensity, the "race" often happens between the sessions. For British triathlete Connor Bentley, maintaining peak power across swimming, cycling, and running requires a recovery protocol that is as precise as his training.

Connor has integrated ISOBAR Custom Compression into his daily routine to ensure he arrives fresh at every start line. By replacing generic fit with anatomical precision, he can manage the physiological toll of world-class training and competition.

"I’ve been using ISOBAR compression wear at the end of the high-intensity days until I go to bed (2-4hours). I’ve noticed significant reduction in muscle soreness the next day, which has really helped when stringing back-to-back high-intensity sessions together. Takes less than 5 mins to fit well and the compression feels very well distributed across the whole leg."

The Science of Sustained Performance: Why does Connor trust ISOBAR?
Unlike generic, off-the-shelf compression, ISOBAR’s precision-engineered compression delivers custom pressure, custom-fit, and lasting performance, designed to enhance healing and comfort, speed recovery and reduce risk of injury.

Whether you are a world-class triathlete or a dedicated age-grouper, don't let generic gear limit your potential.

Push limits. Maintain Your Edge. Finish Strong.
