Provide your athletes and/or patients with the most versatile and comprehensive heat/cold/contrast compression therapy system - the Therm-X AT. Designed to be a front line treatment for acute injury or post-surgical rehabilitation, the Therm-X AT uses unique thermal control technology to deliver heat, cold, or contrast compression therapy with a temperature range of 34° F to 110° F. Moreover, the Therm-X AT maintains, via easy to use digital set temperature control, the specific temperature for the entire treatment cycle throughout the day – no losing temperature, no constant filling of the unit, no replacing melted ice or cleaning and drying out an ice based compression machine. Rather, an easy to fill tank uses distilled water and isopropyl alcohol as the median for its functioning.
Athletic trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, physicians, and other healthcare specialists, are maximizing the acute pain, swelling, and inflammation, and the post-surgical rehabilitative therapy of their athletes and patients with the ability to deliver specific heat, cold, and contrast compression therapy with the Therm-X AT.
The Therm-X AT is a Class II Medical Device and can only be purchased by a licensed healthcare professional. However, an increasing number of individuals (athletes, post treatment patients, and simply health conscious individuals) are obtaining prescriptions from their physician or therapist and are purchasing the Therm-X AT and the appropriate body part associated garment for their home treatment.
The durably crafted and uniquely designed Therm-X Garments provide a tailored treatment area, ensuring full and contoured contact with the body part via four compression settings, allowing for optimal thermal transfer during treatment.
Why the Combination of Cold or Heat with Dynamic Compression Therapy?
While there are cold compression machines that provide the benefits of such, there is only one compression machine, the Therm-X AT, that provides cold, heat, and contrast compression making it the most versatile machine on the market.
Primary Benefits and Reasons of and for Cold/Cryotherapy + Compression
- The mechanical compression and cold temperature cause vasoconstriction, limiting blood flow to the area, helping to reduce or minimize bleeding and associated swelling/edema
- The cold temperature has an analgesic effect, dulling nerve activity and pain sensation
- Cryotherapy can help decrease the incidence or severity of muscle spasms
- The cold helps athletes to reduce the impact of exercise induces muscle damage (EIMD) and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
- Provides effective post-surgical recovery by helping reduce swelling and pain
Primary Benefits and Reasons of and for Heat/Thermotherapy + Compression
- Heat increases blood flow via vasodilation improving circulation, bringing increased oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissues for accelerated healing
- Relieves muscle stiffness and joint pain by loosening tissues, making them more pliable, helping to increase joint mobility – making therapeutic exercise easier to perform and more effective
- Heat helps ease muscle spasms through reduced contraction of muscle fibers
- Compression enhances thermal penetration for deeper heat transfer
- Warms muscles and connective tissues as an excellent warm up to physical therapy, stretching, and ROM movements
Heat-Cold Contrast Therapy + Compression
- Produces “vascular pumping” – alternating vasodilation (heat) and vasoconstriction (cold) improves blood flow and nutrient delivery
- While cold limits edema, heat encourages tissue repair and waste removal
- Alleviates pain and stiffness through combined analgesic effects of cold with the relaxing effects of heat
- Flushes out metabolic waste by alternating temperatures to stimulate lymphatic drainage and waste removal
- Provides a balancing effect between inflammation and circulation helping tissues transition from acute injury (cold phase) to healing (heat phase)
- Reduces muscle fatigue and soreness through a more rapid restoration of normal muscle function post intense activity
- Is a helpful tool for individuals suffering from chronic pain with intermittent flare-ups, addressing both inflammation and poor circulation
“Therm-X is a portable, versatile, and intuitive approach to both cryotherapy and themotherapy that is built to stand up to the demands of professional use. It’s innovative technology, thoughtful design, and ease of use make it a fame changer. This is the best modality of its kind that we have seen.” Mark Merrick, PhD, AT, ATC, FNATA, The Ohio State University, Associate Professor & Director, Athletic Training Division, College of Medicine | School of Heath & Rehabilitation Sciences
