Tom Kallish founded Tommie Copper in 2010. A middle-aged and self-professed weekend warrior, Mr. Kallish suffered a traumatic water skiing accident requiring multiple surgeries on his back, knees and hips leaving him with chronic debilitating arthritic pain. Finding only uncomfortable, restrictive and bulky medical compression available, he created Tommie Copper compression wear. Tommie Copper compression uses multi-directional support and proprietary fabric to provide supportive relief to users while being comfortable enough to be worn throughout the day.

Cu is the elemental symbol for copper and 29 is the atomic number for copper. Use it to remember Tommie Copper!

The most important thing to remember is that compression products are only beneficial when they are being worn. If they are uncomfortable, bulky and can only be worn for short periods of time, they will not be very effective. That is why all Tommie Copper products are manufactured using a proprietary compression fabric that by design is so comfortable you may forget you are wearing it.

Compression helps stabilize and support muscles. Gravity can cause a build-up of fluid in the muscles and surrounding tissue, not only from overuse or repetitive movements, but also during and after exercise. This increased swelling may result in limited mobility and stiffness due to inflammation. Compression helps provide support for tired, sore legs.

Tommie Copper products are designed to be worn by anyone seeking support that can provide relief from daily aches and pains. Everyone from Olympic runners to grandmothers who like to garden can benefit from the comfortable compression provided by Tommie Copper Compression wear.
