Thermotex™
Infrared Therapy Systems
are
a patented range of deep tissue infrared heat pads designed
to relieve pain, promote healing and accelerate
rehabilitation.
Unlike conventional hot packs or heat pads that simply heat
the surface of the skin by conduction, Thermotex™ safely
delivers FAR infrared thermal energy beneath the surface of
the skin.
-
Patients
are comfortable during therapy since there is no
overheating of the skin during treatment.
-
Since
there is no dehydration factor during treatment and
there is a comforting application of heat, the Thermotex
Therapy System can be applied for long periods of time,
which optimizes the treatment.
-
There are
no adverse side effects during treatment such as burning
or skin irritation.
-
This deep
therapeutic heat provided by the Thermotex Therapy
System is relaxing to the patient and provides a
comforting powerful psychological effect to the animal.
Just watching the animals during and after treatment
assures us that it must feel good to the animal.
Thermotex™ re-invents infrared by producing FAR infrared
light, replacing conventional infrared lamps which emit
light from different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum
and must therefore be used with caution. in equine studies,
the unique subcutaneous heat delivery mechanism of
Thermotex™ has been shown to raise temperatures at depths
of 6 cm (2.36 inches) beneath the surface of the skin
after just 20 minutes of use.
Thermotex™ deep tissue infrared heat therapy delivers
prolonged heat where it is most needed. This effectively
increases blood flow into the targeted area to deliver
nutrients and oxygen and keeps tissues healthy while
elimination waste and reducing inflammation.
Thanks to the advanced technology utilized by Thermotex™
Equine Therapy Systems, deep penetrating, relaxing infrared
heat is delivered to where it is needed. Thermotex™
increases hemoglobin 25% to 28%, helps relieve muscle
soreness, arthritis pain, and back ache. Thermotex™ also
helps prevents washing out, and tying up by reducing lactic
acid.
Thermotex™ Equine Therapy Systems have two main
applications
1.
Its most common use is for relief of pain and
soreness in muscles and joints.
- Removes lactic acid build-up in muscles
- Removes soreness due to injury
- Removes inflammation of the joints caused by
arthritis
- Removes sinus inflammation
2.
Pre-Competition use will dramatically improve performance
levels.
- Enhances respiratory system
- Removes sinus congestion
- Acts as a diuretic and helps bleeders
- Reduces lactic acid levels to prevent tying up
during competition
Thermotex™
Equine Therapy Systems are proven in reducing lactic acid
build-up, helping a non-sweater sweat, and increasing kidney
function. They also help bring out the natural oil of the
skin, making hair glisten. Using Thermotex™ Equine Therapy
Systems makes colic a thing of the past provided that early
treatment has been performed.
Conclusions:
There isn't a single equine discipline that would
not benefit from therapy sessions with the Thermotex
Infrared Therapy Systems. Each discipline has its own unique
characteristics and stresses but all can benefit from
infrared heat therapy. The important fact to remember is:
"These appliances provide a safe efficacious infrared heat
therapy to the equine athlete. they should be used as often
as practical and in as many situations as possible. they
only work when they are on the horse and the only time they
don't work is when they are hanging in the tack room." |
