Established in the US by Portable Therapeutix, LLC, in 2013, SQUID was designed as a drug-free solution to pain. (Developed in Boston, the earliest versions of SQUID were field tested and fine tuned with the cooperation of the varsity sports teams at Harvard University.) The portable device was designed for a 15 minute therapy time, utilising proprietary gel packs and sequential compression technology - wraps, with unique air bladders that inflate and deflate depending upon the level of compression chosen - driving cold deep into muscles and ligaments, decreasing swelling and promoting venous blood return. 

SQUID Compression arrived in the UK in 2015, being distributed from the Cardiff area. The response was very positive, and SQUID quickly established a small yet loyal following with physiotherapists, team trainers and coaches, as well as a wide range of athletes - from "weekend warriors" to World Champions, Olympians, as well as aspiring Champions. 

 

 

 

 

Since late 2024, a new UK distributor, TBMD Consultancy Ltd., has taken over, with a mission to make SQUID GO accessible to all those people who will benefit in managing their pain without the use of opioids.

Our commitment is to provide unrivalled value, flexibility and Customer focus, in your ongoing pursuit of wellness, improved Quality of Life (QOL) and personal health. Reach out to info@squidgo.co.uk with any questions.
