Nanobionic- Smart Clothes

According to Chapter 9 of Therapeutic Heat and Cold, Fourth Edition, Editors Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin reports that Far Infrared Heat Therapy does the following:

• Decrease joint stiffness
• Relieves muscle spasms
• Increases blood flow
• Leads to pain relief
• Affects soft tissue injury
• Increases the extensibility of collagen tissue
• Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrated & edema

Nanobionic's technology was different from a few other products that I found that promised far infrared technology. Nanobionic products have the capability to absorb the body's thermal energy, return it back to the body with this technology and transform it into 99% Far Infrared (FIR) energy -not under 30 or 40% as other companies claimed. This technology offers various health and performance benefits that include but are not limited to: increase in strength, endurance, speed, and the reduction of the appearance of cellulite. How did they manage to offer this technology to the human body other than light or heat? Nanobionic managed to find a way to put it in any textile, in this case clothing, instantly making it a game changer in performance wear & fashion!

During my research I found that Infrared Rays are being used to treat so many things: it improves micro blood circulation, metabolism, thermo regulates body temperature, physical therapists use it for muscle spasms, joint stiffness, for rheumatoid arthritis just to name a few. According to the Global Healing Center, the use of Far Infrared rays soothes, heals and detoxifies the body due to the waves of energy that have the ability to penetrate deep in all the layers of the human body. Our body and the sun emit FIR at all times and this was only utilized through the ancient Chinese technique by Reiki Masters and Palm healers passing our FIR rays to other people through touch. Today this technology is being used in FIR saunas that offer the benefits of weight loss and detoxification.

According to research by the Japanese Far Infrared Society on www.chimachine4u.com, the following research has shown and success has been reported from infrared treatments by Japanese researchers for the following musculo-skeletal conditions:

• Arthritis, Gout, Rheumatoid, DJD (each substantially relieved or improved)
• Adhesions (common in competitive athletes, trauma, and repetitive stress syndromes)
• TMJ Arthritis
• Acel-Decel Injury Sequelae
• Low-Back Pain (relieved)
• Bursitis (eliminated)
• Disc-Protrusion Related Neuralgia
• Compression Fractures (in one situation pain stopped for three days with one treatment)
• Muscle Tension (relaxed)
• Muscle Spasms (reduced or eliminated)
• Post-Exercise Muscle Pain (good results - vital to competitive athletes)
• Shoulder pain (relieved or improved)
• Spinal Chord Shock (reversed post traumatic shock)
• Tight Shoulders (more relaxed)
• Traumatic Arthritis

I also researched weight loss programs such as "fit body wrap" by Dr.Aaron M. Flickstein, which uses Infrared Rays for weight loss, his reports have found that it burns calories, provides superior cardiovascular benefits, increase blood flow and treats a number of ailments. (www.get-fitt.com)

According to get-fitt.com, when the body absorbs Far Infra rays it is being charged with pure energy that is easily available to the body, this energy is fuel that the body uses for healing and repair in turn helping the body's regeneration process. Due to our modern stressful world today, high levels of stress and toxicity have compromised our body's ability to heal. Far Infrared Rays are associated with healing responses.

This is all amazing, however we can't carry around Far Infra Red saunas and some of us don't have the luxury of time to spend under FIR heat lamps! The beauty of Nanobionic is that works in a similar fashion through their patented technology in textiles allowing you to have the benefits while just wearing clothing! Nanobionic's President George Psipsikas states, "We here at Nanobionic consider our products as truly innovative and we believe that they are the future of clothing. It's about time for our clothes to do something for us and it's about time to recycle our energy". For more information and studies on Nanobionic's technology go to: www.nanobionic.com

The future of clothing is offering so many benefits to the professional athlete and everyday person with so many new fabrics, technology and functionality, fitness clothing has taken on a whole new level.
