Occlude is a Danish company that develops market-leading occlusion equipment for professional rehabilitation, performance optimization, training, and health promotion. Our mission is to deliver equipment and professional guidance of the highest quality – with a focus on usability and safety, and grounded in evidence-based methods and approaches.
At Occlude, we combine the latest research with many years of practical experience from the highest levels of elite sport. It was also through our work with professional athletes that the need for Occlude emerged.
Today, Occlude supports everyone from Olympic and world champions to older adults with knee pain and patients recovering from hip surgery. Across all cases, we facilitate an active and pain-free lifestyle and everyday functioning – whether the goal is to enhance athletic performance or improve quality of life.
All our products are registered as medical devices with the Danish Medicines Agency and comply with stringent requirements for quality and safety. Consequently, we are selected by hospitals, healthcare centers, clinics, and professional sports organizations and clubs worldwide.
Men hos Occlude får man mere end blot udstyr – man får direkte adgang til specialiseret viden, faglig rådgivning og undervisning. Som Nordens førende udbyder af kurser og uddannelse i okklusionstræning, har vi omfattende erfaring med at undervise på klinikker, hospitaler, i kommuner og på uddannelsesinstitutioner.
Occlude is founded and owned by Thomas Cortebeeck and Andreas Kjærsgaard Christensen – both holding a Master of Science degrees in Sport Science and are among Denmarks most experienced specialists in physical training and performance optimization.
With a background as physical trainers for Olympic athletes, world champions, and professional sports organizations, we combine the latest research-based methods with many years of practical experience at the highest level. In addition to their work in elite sport, Thomas and Andreas have, for many years, taught within Sport Science at Aarhus University and delivered more than 80 lectures and courses in evidence-based occlusion training both nationally and internationally.
At Occlude, Thomas and Andreas are directly responsible for professional guidance, education, and client communication. This means that, as a customer or partner, you gain access not only to some of the market’s safest and most user-friendly occlusion equipment, but also to the specialized knowledge that ensures training is conducted correctly, effectively, and in accordance with the latest research.
Occlude’s core values are quality, professionalism, and user-friendliness – with an ambition to set new standards for how occlusion training is applied across healthcare, sport, and the general population
