EXPERT'S OPINION

  • "Fast reduction of muscular problems - also in the long term."

    Jan Grieshammer, athletic trainer FIT TEAM Chemnitz

  • "Immediately after hard games we use the floss tape to wrap around injured parts of the body, which brings relief and a freer body feeling for a short time."

    Kai Häfner and Erik Schmidt, European Handball Champion 2016

  • "In daily use with top athletes, I wouldn't want to be without flossing. Be it to compensate for mobility deficits, after acute injuries or as a regenerative measure."

    Philipp Konnerth, athletic trainer at the Olympic Center in Voralberg

  • "In my practice, I use the floss band every day to look after my patients and athletes, both after injuries and for faster regeneration."

    Beatrix Baumgartner, MSPhT Fascia Center Vienna

WHAT IS FLOSSING?

Vitality Flossing describes the treatment technique of wrapping elastic bands in a circular fashion around joints and tissue.

The training method is based on compression-based techniques with the eponymous raft. The systematic application follows therapy principles from osteopathy and physiotherapy, in connection with functional and athletic training.

In addition to muscle-dynamic exercises such as pendulum, swinging and fascia training, Vitality Flossing primarily focuses on the areas of joint mechanics and tissue compatibility.

WHERE DOES FLOSSING COME FROM?

Flossing was originally developed by the American physiotherapist and cross-fitness trainer Dr. Kelly Starrett.

The method was later further developed by Sascha Seifert and Dominik Suslik in cooperation with well-known experts from competitive sports and therapy.
