Corporate Information

 

The Skins™ brand is synonymous with innovation in performance equipment and our brand is regularly seen on the bodies of the world’s finest athletes.

Independent scientific and medical research has been the vehicle of credibility and acceptance for Skins™ into the elite sporting segment. Skins™ is the only sports compression wear that can attest to having independent scientific testing conducted on their garments including two published studies with three additional studies pending publication.

Published papers and reports have demonstrated the following benefits from wearing Skins™:

Increases venous return
Reduces post-exercise muscle soreness
Removes lactic acid faster
Increases strength and power
Improves endurance
Improves body temperature control
Decreases flight leg oedema

In addition to providing first-rate sporting benefits, the increased oxygenation and circulation provided by Skins™ is also an excellent means of relieving many medical complaints including arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lymphoedema, varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis. It is also effective in promoting circulation during pregnancy.

The Australian Physiotherapists Association (APA) has endorsed Skins™ as a leader in compression performance equipment. The recommendation followed rigorous testing by APA-commissioned sports scientists that confirmed Skins’™ ability to enhance performance, endurance and recovery. APA is the professional body representing individual physiotherapists, physiotherapy practices and the physiotherapy profession generally in Australia.

Skins™ are also endorsed by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and are registered as a therapeutic device within the Australian market. In launching globally, Skins™ aims to gain similar endorsements and registrations within each market which will enhance the profile of the Skins™ brand and products.
