T:25 KNEE
enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury
Increase speed and vertical while reducing the risk of recurring hamstring and ACL tears.
T:25 PADS APPLY TARGETED COMPRESSION TO TRAIN THE MEDIAL QUADRICEPS AND HAMSTRINGS TO BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN A PATIENT/ATHLETE’S FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT.

HOW IT WORKS
By applying T:25 pads to the medial quadriceps and medial hamstring (agonist and antagonist), proprioception and neuromuscular communication are enhanced, causing the femur to be externally rotated improving knee alignment.
Agonist and antagonist muscles work together to create bodily movement.
Agonist Muscles– can cause movement to occur through their own contractions. Also called “prime movers”, because they are the muscles considered primarily responsible for generating a specific movement.
Antagonist Muscles– oppose a specific movement. Controls a motion, slows it down and returns the limb to its initial position.

INTRO TO T:25 KNEE
The key muscles that control the movement of your knees are the medial quads and hamstrings. Those muscles are compromised when pain occurs after injury or surgery. T:25 Knee compression sleeves have foam buttresses that apply 25 mmHg of topical pressure to both muscle groups in both knees during rehab. Worn as directed those muscles become activated / trained allowing you to better control dynamic movement during return to sports.
When you activate / train those specific muscles you will experience enhanced movement during competition to run faster, jump higher while reducing risk of knee injury. If you do not activate / train those specific muscles a neuromuscular deficit is likely to exist when returning to sport.
Published research on T:25 Knee is available in the research section of our website.

SIZING INSTRUCTIONS:
MEASURE WITH YOUR LEG STRAIGHT
Measure thigh circumference 6" above the top of your patella.
Standard version if height is < 6' (183cm).
Long version if height is > 6' (183cm)
APPLICATION & USAGE
T:25 Knees should be worn a minimum of 2 hours a day for 10 days straight, in motion. Continue to wear T:25 Knees 2 hours a day every other day for the next 7 to 9 months.
If you have swelling in the knee that was injured wait until the swelling is gone before applying. We do suggest you wear a T:25 Knee on the knee that is not injured, it will be responsible for most of your movement. Once the swelling is gone in the injured knee apply T:25 Knee, so both knees have the product on.
If a person is not on their feet 2 hours a day wear T:25 Knees whenever you are in motion.motion.

T:25 Knee Research
Based on Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), Topical Gear is creating a pre-paradigm shift in the standard care of athletes and patients.
Applying T:25 Technology to the medial quadriceps and hamstrings enhances proprioception and neuromuscular communication with the tendons and ligaments in the knee, training those muscles to respond faster, giving the athlete more time to get out of the vulnerable position, ultimately reducing the risk of injury.
