Vörös – Recover faster

Engineered to deliver near-infrared light and controlled compression, accelerating recovery and improving performance.

Tackling people recovering from sports injuries – especially amateurs or those who have not got regular access to physiotherapy. This leads to poor recovery, re-injury, or giving up sport altogether.

What is Vörös?

Vörös is a wearable therapeutic device that combines red light therapy and targeted compression to reduce swelling and discomfort while promoting deep tissue recovery through enhanced blood flow and collagen synthesis.

850nm near infrared light penetrates deep into tissue, supporting circulation, inflammation reduction, and tissue regeneration. Supporting the recovery of muscles after rehabilitation sessions.

Inspired by BOA laces, this tightening mechanism re-design allows for full compression across all the muscles in the leg. With lots of tightening range the sleeve can compress the quadricep, hamstring, knee and calf. The mechanisms spool is 1.5x larger than other designs which allows for more lace. This design does not have any metal or springs, allowing for the sleeve to be washed and not deteriorate over time.

Together with the red light therapy, Vörös reduces soreness and discomfort, allowing for athletes to carry out their rehabilitation more effectively.

The need

An accessible product that is comfortable and easy to use. It needs to adapt to different muscle groups, help maintain motivation and consistency throughout the recovery journey while also feeling premium at an affordable cost.

Branding and identity

Vörös is a recovery focused brand designed to help athletes return to sport with confidence. By combining red light therapy, controlled compression and app-based guidance. Vörös supports consistent rehabilitation in a simple, premium and accessible way.

Our aim is to make recovery more accessible for people who are unable to access regular physiotherapy. Helping put athletes back in control and return to sport stronger than before.

Product app

The Vörös app

The Vörös app helps users keep track of their sessions and provides them with information about how the product is helping their rehabilitation. It helps to maintain motivation and consistency, while also being the main source of controlling the device. Keeping track of what to do next in the recovery journey is vital and without a physiotherapist it is very difficult.
