mabena
The first step towards extending your athletic youth
Compression recovery. Anytime. Anywhere.
25 million performance athletes over 30 want to train more, but age takes its toll on recovery. Compact Mabena solution offers an opportunity for compression muscle recovery in any setting.
Science-driven innovation
Mabena replaces bulky inflatable chambers of the state-of the art compression recovery sets with thin and compact smart textile. We knit our devices from our proprietary shape-memory polymers—yarns that shrink and loosen in controllable manner. Mabena's solutions can be deployed fast, don't restrict your movement, and can be transported even in a road cyclist bag.
