Compression Therapy
Thermoactive Cold & Hot Compression Therapy
The R.I.C.E. protocol is almost universally known by all, being the first line of recovery for most injuries. Even in my own office nearly all acute patients are given intersections to follow R.I.C.E. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Cold & Hot Compression Therapy takes care of the first three easily and effectively, by reducing inflammation and accelerating the healing process.

Dr. Gebhardt Recommends using one brace for multiple areas – for example; The Cold/Hot Compression Knee support will fit the elbow too, The Shoulder Support comes in Right and Left, but you can use it on either with a little work. It is also highly recommended you purchase an extra Gel Pack. You can keep one cold at all times or use it as a hot one to alternate hot and cold therapy.

Treatment and Prevention of Muscle Injuries, Sprains and Strains
In addition to treating a muscle injury,Cold & Hot Compression Therapy heat therapy can be used for injury prevention. Heat therapy loosens tight muscles and tendons that are used for any type of activity. You can use Cold & Hot Compression Therapy in the office or while driving to help with back pain, prior to walking or doing work around the house, or to alleviate pain related to arthritis.
Cold & Hot Compression Therapy can also be used by athletes who need to warm-up prior to competition or practice. It can be used to loosen up the shoulder prior to throwing; hamstrings, groin, and calves prior to running; knee prior to high impact; and the back prior to golfing or other swinging motions.
For best results, prior to exercising, apply the heated gel pack support to the muscle for 10 minutes. This will loosen up the muscle and the surrounding area. Find out more information on how heat therapy works.
After a muscle injury, or after a sprain or a strain, a cold therapy protocol known as R.I.C.E is often recommended — Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. ThermoActive™ is the key component to the “I” and the “C” in R.I.C.E therapy. See When is Cold Therapy Appropriate for more information on the R.I.C.E.
Cold & Hot Compression Therapy cold and hot therapy can be used for the following issues. However as with any pain treatment, you should consult a healthcare professional for a pain management program that best suits your needs.
