America Cryo - Cold Compression | Subzero Cryotherapy

Image
  The development of the Portable Compression Cryotherapy System has given EasyCryo an innovative therapeutic edge over conventional therapy systems in utilizing cold therapy and intermittent compression technology. Combined with dual action wraps this system offers a complete therapy solution utilizing the R.I.C.E. therapy concept of rest, ice, compression and elevation. Ice cold water cycles through lightweight, medical-grade wraps with 15-75 mmhg compression levels to the affected areas. Both ice water cycle time and compression levels are user controlled on the system's control panel. The system works incredibly well in providing rehabilitation for orthopedic injuries, cramping, sprains, or post-surgical swelling. Advantages Reduces Pain Blocks the inflammatory process Resorbs Edema Accelerates the healing process Quickens recovery and resumption of physical activity Subzero Cryotherapy The use of CO2 at -110°F under high pressure causes the skin temperature to fall from 89.6°...

Equine Infrasound - G5 Equitec | Equine Therapy Equipment

Image
  The G5 Equitec massage device is an infrasound (<20 Hz) generator. Transmitted to matter, they generate longitudinal mechanical waves, that is to say they oscillate in the direction of their propagation: this consists in a succession of compressions and decompressions of the matter. Their propagation is rectilinear. To be effective deep down, these infrasonic vibrations must be applied perpendicularly to the tissue and at very low frequencies (<20 Hz).   The Directional-Stroking When using the G5 Equitec, the lower the motor frequency, the deeper the vibratory waves will penetrate into the tissue. On the other hand, the higher the motor frequency, the more superficial the treatment, inducing hyperhemia and local increase of blood and lymph circulation.   This simple vibratory technique, tried and tested in human medicine for 50 years, fits perfectly within the variety of equine osteopathy and veterinary treatments, thus constituting a consistent and effective var...

Why You Need Cryotherapy as Part of Your Workout Regimen

Image
  Whether you’re a professional athlete or a regular at the local gym, you know that protecting your body from injury is vital in order to continue training at your desired level. Muscle strains, pulls, and stress injuries are all too common. Research has found an injury rate of approximately 20-80% among runners alone, and a similar rate in those who participate in CrossFit training. These injuries can delay your training as you take time out to heal and then even more time to build back up to your previous stamina level. Ways to Protect Yourself from Injury There are some steps you can take to minimize the chances of sustaining damage while working out. These include: Do dynamic stretches before and after a workout session: increasing flexibility and warming the muscles reduces the chances of tearing and strains during your workout.Stretching also increases blood flow, which delivers vital oxygen to muscles, which is needed to power your activities. Start out slow: gradually in...
