Olympian Travel: Therapeutic Copper Compression

With 10 million Americans annually receiving medical attention for their sports-related injuries, which equates to almost 26 per 1,000 people, it's interesting knowing how Olympians survive flights and airports with their sports-related injuries. Here are some testimonials from Olympic World Record Holder, Dennis Mitchell, who coaches Olympians Kellie Wells and Justin Gatlin.

Both of these Olympians can attest to the benefits of using copper when traveling and after training. As it pertains to flying with aches and pains, the Arthritis Treatment and Relief website has also detailed “How to Beat Aches and Pains if You Love to Fly.”

Copper has been used for thousands of years to aid in reducing inflammation, growing and sustaining connective tissue and aiding in blood flow and oxygen transport.
