Why It Matters

Better musculoskeletal health supports better quality of life

Musculoskeletal health affects how people move, work, recover, participate in daily life, and maintain independence over time.

By supporting education, research, and community-focused initiatives, we aim to improve awareness, encourage earlier engagement, and help create better futures for individuals and communities.

When people have access to the right knowledge, support, and opportunities, they are better placed to make informed decisions about their musculoskeletal health and wellbeing.

Active Study

Clinical Research

Achilles Tendinopathy Study

A 24-week clinical study evaluating a non-compressive, drug-free wearable therapy for Achilles tendinopathy. The study uses MRI imaging and structured follow-up to assess recovery without surgery, injections, or medication.

You may be suitable if you have ongoing Achilles pain, stiffness, or reduced function.

The study includes

  • Two Open MRI scans (start and end of study)
  • Daily use of therapy garments (ankle sleeve and sock)

Participants gain detailed insight into tendon health and access a structured, non-invasive recovery approach within an ethically approved UK research study.* Participation is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time.
