The Science Behind Jelliebend
Improve Mobility: The warmth from Jelliebend facilitates stretching of the soft tissues around the spine. This helps to increase range of motion while decreasing stiffness and injury.
Support the Lower Back: The gentle squeeze from Jelliebend supports the lower back and gives the abdominal muscles to resist against. The tactile cue to engage your core relieves pressure on the spine.
Accelerate Recovery: Jelliebend provides your torso with gentle compression. Studies show that the application of balanced compression allows for 30% more oxygen to be delivered to muscles before, during and after a workout. More oxygen to the muscles means better performance, less fatigue and faster recovery.

The Story of Jellie and Ellie
I moved to NYC for college to study finance, but unlike the typical finance student, I discovered the world of circus. I trained diligently throughout college and became one of NYC's top contortionists. As a contortionist, I fell in love with pursuit of masterful physicality and coordination, however, the rigor of my training coupled with scoliosis often led to lower back soreness, pain, and injury.
With help from some scientific research I learned about the therapeutic and supportive benefits of warmth and compression. I decided to create a band that harnessed these properties. I hopped on my sewing machine and got to work. After rounds of prototyping, testing, and revision I created Jelliebend-a warm and supportive hug for your lower back.
