A study published in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine (Volume 10, Number 1, 2000, Philadelphia, PA), found that Farabloc has the ability to speed the recovery of muscles that have been damaged from overexercising or previous injuries. Farabloc has also been found to reduce phantom limb pain, a symptom that often accompanies amputations, making it helpful to amputees, especially those involved in high-performance sports, wanting to reduce muscle damage and soreness from heavy training or injuries.

Farabloc can be wrapped around the limb twice to reduce symptoms, level of pain, and muscular strength deficits that result from exercise.

Farabloc is a patented, non-electric, non-invasive, lightweight woven mesh fabric of stainless steel and nylon thread, making it a versatile material for gloves, socks, pants, jackets, arm bands, leg bands, and so on.
