When a person is injured as a result of physical activity, sport or other activities, the use of heat or cold therapy is commonly used in their physical therapy sessions. The use of heat treatment is not evasive and useful. The use of heat therapy helps increase blood flow to damaged tissue. The flow of blood carrying oxygen and nutrients to the injured area, reducing muscle spasms, alleviate pain, relax the muscles and tissues. Heat is available in many forms, such as hot and moist compresses, heating pads, dry or wet, hydrotherapy and silicate frozen gel.
Two methods commonly used in heat treatment for muscle injuries and Hydrocollators tissues Thermalators.HydrocollatorsIn and physiotherapy, a Hydrocollator is a device for heating the liquid used as a reservoir of heat and hot packs. The hot compresses are used for physical ailments such as muscle spasms, sprains and bruises the tissue. They are often used in a damaged area to prepare a deep tissue massage. A container is heated to about 65 ° C, then placed on the injured area. The increased blood flow helps to reduce pain and promote healing.
Hydrocollator Pack is a small container filled with silica gel. The dressing is soaked in hot water into the device to provide extended Hydrocollator moist heat to the tissues. The silica gel absorbs water and retains heat. Are usually applied in layers with towels wrapped in a period of time, usually 20 minutes. Reduce the thickness of the pad reduced power and warmth of a deliberate reduction in temperature. The maximum temperature is reached after about 8 minutes, followed by a decrease in temperature.
The repeated application of hot compresses may extend the period of the temperature, but does not alter the distribution of its hot heat.ThermalatorsThermalators medical equipment used to maintain a constant temperature of heat. The goal is to be comfortable and effective therapy. Heating proper packaging allows a period of more applicable to the injury. Thermalators be used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic. Maintain constant water temperature in which the need to manually control the water temperature decreases.
Thermalators massage lotions are also used to maintain a constant warm temperature. Components of professional equipment as Thermalators heat treatment will not be cool in the midst of treatment. The water has a thermostat, the device includes a snap-off thermal protection to prevent overheating.Injury muscle arising from the exercise and sports activities are a common every day. Technological advances have made the recovery more rapid, more relaxed and less painful. The heat is used in physiotherapy and rehabilitation to help promote healing of tissues, reduce pain and increase range of motion one.
The correct temperature is essential for effective treatment. Thermalators and ensure that Hydrocollators maintain patient comfort during treatment for their loss.
