Cold Therapy
One of the key benefits of cold therapy is that it’s available in many mediums – think cold gels, lotions, sprays, ice packs, ice wraps and ice bags. Plus, it’s a popular non-evasive and drug-free way to relieve pain making it suitable for the whole family. To help ensure you find exactly what it is you need, we’ve put together the ultimate selection of cold therapy products below.
Cold therapy provides a cooling and soothing sensation after activity and allows fast penetrating and effective recovery and pain relief. Most soft tissue injuries, such as sprained ankles, muscle tears, bruising or inflammation rely on the speed at which you apply cold and compression to control pain and reduce blood flow to the affected area by limiting the fluid surrounding the injury. This results in reduced swelling, released muscle tension and a speedy recovery for injuries and muscle exertion.
Foam Rolling
Foam rollers, spikey balls, and self-massage tools are revolutionary products developed to help keep you active and pain-free in the comfort of your own home. The process of rolling on a foam roller, or using other self-massage tools, applies pressure to specific points on your body and aids the recovery of muscles. So, if you have tight hamstrings, sore calf muscles, aching arms or another over-worked part of your body, foam rolling could work wonders. Using these tools regularly can provide noticeable improvements to your flexibility, mobility and muscular system performance. To provide further relief, certain products combine the benefits of foam rolling with the comfort and relaxation of therapeutic heat and ice.
