For post acute injury rehabilitation, THERMOTEX helps to optimise the healing process by delivering prolonged deep tissue heat therapy. Prolonged is a key word since THERMOTEX is unique in being able to maintain an optimum temperature between 40-45C for increased blood flow (vasodilation) through the injured site.

MUSCLES

For large muscle groups such as the hamstrings, quads and back conventional heat modalities do not penetrate to the required level. THERMOTEX has been measured in equine studies to raise temperatures at twice the tissue depths of some conventional heat applications.

LIGAMENTS

If you have ligament damage, you will be aware that ligaments have a very poor blood supply, though they too depend on blood for repair and healing. Prolonged heat therapy with THERMOTEX increases blood flow to aid your recovery from injury or surgery.

STRAPPING

If you are past the acute phase of injury and have strapping, note that THERMOTEX CAN BE USED OVER STRAPPING AND CASTS since as a waveform, FAR infrared passes through the materials. Much of the heat from conductive heat pads or hot packs is lost since the fabric acts as an insulator.

If you have an acute injury, the POLAR POWDER COLDPAK can\'t be beaten for comfort, useability and convenience in conjunction with THERMOTEX. "Highly Recommended" says Athletics Weekly Magazine, "An essential part of a rugby player\'s kit" International Rugby News and many more.
