Contract background:
Our ITO Sports Project aims to support the best condition of as many athletes as possible by using our physiotherapy devices. Daily conditioning to expedite recovery from injury or fatigue and to minimize the risk of injury is important for maintaining peak performance at all times and is essential for a long athletic career.
About the Official Supplier Contract:
In the past, when athletes experienced injuries or discomfort, our support team promptly delivered ultrasound and microcurrent devices, and also interviewed the athletes about their current condition. We have been supporting athletes by providing guidance on the most effective usage methods.
In ice sports, the low temperatures during competitions can cause the body to strain easily, increasing the risk of injury during games and practice.
With this official supplier contract, in addition to our existing support, athletes will also be able to use our new shortwave therapy devices, which can generate deep heat within the body tissues, helping to relax muscles and promote blood circulation.
From now on, conditioning with shortwave therapy devices will become a part of athletes' daily habits and we will support the athletes in their competitive lives so that they can perform better than ever before.
