WHEN TO TREAT WITH HEAT
Heat treatment (or thermotherapy) relieves
stiness and chronic aches, facilitates relaxation,
and stimulates circulation. It works by increasing
tissue temperatures and blood flow, thereby
drawing extra nutrients into the area to assist in
the recovery and healing process.
Heat treatments should be used for chronic
injuries or injuries that have no inflammation or
swelling. Heat applied to chronic conditions helps
relax and loosen tissues, and to stimulate blood
flow to the area.
When an injury is older than 48 hours, heat can
be applied. Heat causes the blood vessels to open
which brings more blood into the area. It also has
a direct soothing eect and helps to relieve pain
and spasm.
Sore, sti, nagging muscle or joint pain is ideal for
the use of heat therapy. Athletes with chronic pain
or overuse injuries may use heat therapy before
exercise to increase the elastici of joint
connective tissues and to stimulate blood flow.
Heat can also help relax tight muscles or muscle
spasms.
WHEN NOT TO USE HEAT
Heat should not be used on acute injuries. Wait
for the swelling to reduce. Heat draws fluids into
tissues and can increase swelling and
inflammation. Do not use heat over swollen
tissues or redness except under the supervision
of your doctor or physiotherapist.
Do not use heat before vigorous exercise. Your
muscles may be too relaxed for peak
performance and safe.
WHEN TO TREAT WITH COLD
Cold therapy (or cryotherapy) is the treatment of
choice for acute injuries (injuries that have
occurred within the last 48 hours). Our advice is
to only use the vibration on level 1 or 2 whilst
using the cold therapy, as too much vibration will
counteract the cooling benefits.
With any sprain, strain or bruise there is some
bleeding into the underlying tissues. This may
cause swelling, pain and delay healing. During
immediate treatment, the aim is to limit the body’s
response to the injury. It does this by reducing
further bleeding into the injured tissues,
preventing or reducing swelling, and reducing
muscle spasm and pain. Cold reduces pain by
numbing the area and by limiting the eect of
swelling which causes pain.
When applied immediately aer an injury, cold
treatment reduces tissue damage by reducing the
metabolic rate and decreasing the production of
metabolites and metabolic heat which result from
the body’s inflammatory response to the injury.
Cold therapy relieves muscle spasms, reduces
post-exercise soreness, and stimulates
circulation in areas of chronic discomfort.
Cold treatment may be used in both the immediate
treatment of so tissue injuries and in later
rehabilitation.
WHEN NOT TO USE COLD
Do not use over sensitive skin or in the
presence of poor circulation. Elderly people,
young children, and people with diabetes must be
very careful with cold treatments. If you have any
questions about cold therapy, ask your health
care practitioner for advice.
Aer plugging the adaptor into the power
socket the light of the power buon will go
red, this is a standby status and all other
functions can’t work.
Press the power buon once, the light will
change to blue, this is a ready status, now
you can use all the machine’s functions.
Pressing the cooling buon once will start
the cooling function. If you would like to
reduce the temperature even further then
press and hold the cooling buon for 3
seconds. The cooling buon will begin to flash
indicating that it is reducing its temperature
to the minimum possible. To stop the cooling
mode press the buon again.
Pressing the heating buon once will start
the heating function. If you would like to
increase the temperature even further then
press and hold the heating buon for 3
seconds. The heating buon will begin to
flash indicating that it is increasing its
temperate to the maximum possible.
WARNING: This mode is warm! Only use this
function when the basic heat mode is not
enough. To stop the the heating mode press
the buon again.
Cooling and heating mode can be turned on
alone, and can also be used together with the
vibration function.
Cooling and heating mode cannot exist
together. When one mode is started, the
other one will automatically stop.
Press the speed buon. You can choose 5
speed levels to see which is best for you.
