COLD-HOT CARE
KNEE GUARD
LS5746

Cold / heat therapy is recommended by doctors as a complete treatment of minor injuries. Cold therapy decreases surface temperature of the affected area and causes the vein to shrink, which spreads to adjacent areas helping to control the swelling, reduce pain and relax tension. It is recommended for the first 48 hours after an injury. Heat therapy increases skin temperature and causes the vein to dilate. The increased blood flow in the affected area helps to reduce pain, relieve tiredness, and accelerate healing process. It should not be used until 48 hours after an injury.
