Are You Using
the BEST Cold-Therapy Products for both YOU & YOUR HORSE?
Ice, chemical packs,
gel packs and alcohol-based cooling products are not
the best modeof treatment for pain, swelling, hematoma's
(bruises) heat exhaustion, hemophilia or other disorders
requiring cold therapy in either humans or animals.
The "colder is better" concept
is "old news", as it has been shown
that ice, gel and chemical packs can actually increase
irritation and swelling of the affected tissues if
they are not applied appropriately. If this occurs,
it increases the risk of further exacerbation of soft-tissue
injuries and causing long-term damage to blood skin,
vessels, tendons and muscles.
As for alcohol based
products, they only provide "surface" cooling,
but do not reduce the temperature of the deeper layers
of muscle enough to be therapeutically beneficial.
These types of products often cause vasodilatation of
the surface blood vessels thereby increasing irritation
and swelling in the more superficial tissues as well
as irritation of abraded or dry skin.
This is why COLDFLEX® has become the ideal cold-therapy solution for inflammation and swelling related injuries in both humans and animals. Experience the self-cooling technology of COLDFLEX® that is convenient, effective, reusable and affordable! |
