With multiple pads specifically designed to target key areas, the Heat/Cool Pad Therapy System™ utilizes a unique structure which provides the user with a more impactful physical therapy experience.
Uses can range from relieving aches, pain and discomfort from strains and sprains, and to counter exposure to extreme environmental conditions such as in high temperatures where cooling may prevent or mitigate a heat casualty. This product can practically be used in physical therapy environments, rehabilitation centers, or for post surgical recovery, especially orthopedic operations.
