Head of Science Team dsm-firmenich PostNL
“At Team dsm-firmenich PostNL, we are always looking to access, develop and implement the best science, knowledge and products to achieve our goal of TopSport. Given the extreme physical demands of professional cycling, recovery is an essential part of reaching and maintaining high-level performance.
Within the team, we use several recovery modalities to boost the recovery and therefore the performance of the riders. One of these modalities are compression garments from Herzog Medical. These compression garments help to reduce the influence of inflammation and delayed onset muscle soreness. Especially during long travel and after strenuous days in the saddle the compression socks are a key part of the recovery program for our riders. During stage races our riders also wear the compression socks as long as possible off the bike, to maximize recovery and to be ready for the next stage.
Next to the compression garments Herzog Medical supplies the team with their Compression Recovery. This tool is very easy to be used during the recovery of our riders and can be a good solution in during high intensity races and during busy stage races, where this massage therapy is quickly and easily available to riders during bus transfers or in the hotels.
At Team dsm-firmenich PostNL we are constantly looking for new opportunities to be ahead of the game and these Herzog Medical products give us another advantage over our competition, so we are extremely proud and grateful to have Herzog on board as a partner.”

How do these riders take their recovery to the next level?
With Compry Recovery the Team dsm-firmenich PostNL riders always have their own masseur at hand: at home, on the road or in their hotel. It's part of their recovery protocol: right after their training, they slide into their Herzog boots to give their recovery an instant boost. Compry Recovery increases the blood circulation, reduces muscle soreness and gives the riders fresh legs faster.
