SEP® - Support Energy Point
SEP Performance underwear and socks stabilize and support important joints. This prevents joint fatigue, wear and tear and pain. In this way, they contribute to optimal muscle function. The SEP system keeps the body in the anatomically optimal, natural position.
It synchronizes movements and promotes blood circulation. This stabilizes the neck, shoulders and muscles. In the foot area, it distributes the load better and optimizes the rolling movement.

the patented sep technology - developed with professionals
"There shouldn't be any pain during sports. SEP functional underwear stabilizes the important joints in the anatomically correct position, prevents incorrect strain and pain and increases performance." - dr Bruno Gröbli, chiropractor SCG/ECU, developer of SEP
But the SEP technology is also used for the socks. The SEP sock supports the foot in everyday life and during sports. It optimizes the rolling movement of the foot and thus the distribution of pressure. Thus, the SEP socks also have a positive effect on the entire musculoskeletal system and the spine. It prevents foot fatigue and can reduce discomfort.
dr sc. med. Wolfgang Laube, specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Innsbruck, confirms the effect of the Support Energy Point: "The longer the foot is put under strain, the more it tires - and the greater the load on the musculoskeletal system. The SEP sock reduces this fatigue and Our biomechanical studies even exceeded our expectations: after an hour of jogging, the additional pressure value on the foot with the SEP socks is 55% lower than with conventional socks."
Measurement of the pressure load
The graphics show the pressure distribution on the sole of the foot when walking with and without SEP socks after a 10km run.
The purple areas indicate the regions with the highest compressive stress. The color codes red-yellow-green-blue to black indicate the regions with systematically decreasing pressure values.
Before 10km run:
1st picture - peak pressure: 625 kPa
After 10km run:
2nd image - peak pressure with SEP sock: 765 kPa
3rd picture - peak pressure without SEP sock: 802 kPa
The test person's values show a reduction in pressure values through the SEP sock before and after the run. Because of fatigue, the pressure values increase. However, the increase is significantly reduced by wearing the socks and the musculoskeletal system is protected when you are tired.
