IFGfit is a health and technology company that is disrupting injury prevention, recovery and wellness. Using patented engineered fabrics, the user's posture and alignment is constantly trained throughout the day by opening up the shoulders, chest and hips along with the lengthening of the spine. With this, users will greatly reduce joint and muscle pain, ensuring speedier and more complete recovery. IFGfit has prioritized a natural look and feel to the product, without bulky braces, wiring, or wet suit like tightness with the goal to give users a natural amount of range of motion.
IFGfit’s products are designed to be worn at home, at work, and during workouts so users can improve their posture unconsciously. Good posture is about retraining the body for life, and unlike other products, IFGfit re-conditions users muscles without making them constantly aware that they are wearing a device.
IFGfit products have additionally been engineered to open up the shoulders without putting pressure on the chest. When users stop compressing their lungs by slouching, they can deepen their breaths and increase the flow of oxygen to their brains. This enhances cognitive performance and can greatly reduce fatigue. IFGfit’s lower body products reduce hip pain and increase mobility for better posture alignment. Over time with regular wear, users can expect a decrease in pain, increased shoulder and rib cage mobility, hip and spinal alignment, and enhanced breathing. All garments are made sustainably within the United States.
“We are very excited to partner with USA Rugby and provide game changing travel, posture and recovery wear to the athletes and membership base. USA Rugby has continued to succeed and grow rapidly on the international stage and we share a vision to better athlete wellness and recovery in the pursuit of excellence,” said Stephen H. Liu, MD, Founder and Chairman of IFGfit, “High caliber athletes often experience issues around injury prevention, recovery and enhanced biomechanical function. Through our vast array of innovative products, IFGfit addresses all 3 pillars and will be able to provide an outstanding athletic and wellness foundation for USA Rugby national teams and its members.”
