With the sleeve, Ciccarone says you'll burn more calories, increase your heart rate and build muscle. The sleeves are being used by everyone from volleyball and field hockey players to walkers and elite runners.
The sleeves have also shown surprising promise for people with neurological disorders like Parkinson's Disease or Multiple Sclerosis.
Jay donates the sleeves to the Fighting Back Scholarship Program in Malvern, a non- profit that offers fitness training to individuals who are fighting back from traumatic injury, illness or disease.
Michael P. Myers is a client at Fighting Back. He suffered a spinal cord injury that left him with numbness and constant nerve pain that he describes as like 1000 hot needles.
When he slides on the sleeves, Michael says, the pain starts dissipating almost instantly. He estimates his pain is eased by 25-50%, reducing his reliance on pain medication and boosting his mental health.
Jay says he's now working with Jefferson University on a study "to put some science behind the findings."
He says his ultimate mission is to make people feel and perform better one weighted compression sleeve at a time.
