The Fashion Collection that Relieves Chronic Pain

post-image

Tegan Cooke, who has fibromyalgia, which causes fatigue, insomnia and pain in her joints, has made a range of elevated loungewear to support people with similar conditions.

The 21-year-old, who is studying BA Fashion Design at Nottingham Trent University, has centred her designs on the use of pressure therapy to provide a small amount of compression to the shoulders and knees.

The garments feature quilted shapes which contain about one kilogram of tiny glass beads to provide calm-inducing pressure without being overly heavy.
