Physical Therapy Uses

Most external analgesics are traditionally formulated with methyl salicylate, and more recently with capsaicin or other salicylates. Most act as "counter-irritants" which, when applied on the spot where it hurts, stimulate the cutaneous sensory receptors causing an inflammation or irritation of the skin. This hot, sometimes painful, burning sensation temporarily counters the original pain. Side effects of these "counter irritants" can be redness of the skin, blisters, or even burns when over used or improperly used.

KOOL 'N FIT® , on the other hand, depresses the cutaneous sensory receptors, penetrates the nerve endings in the skin, and causes a temporary, reversible change in the nerve membrane. This action blocks the transmittal of pain and thereby provides an effective pain relief without inflammation or irritation of the skin. Some of the KOOL 'N FIT® ingredients have anti-inflammitory, anti-spasmodic, and anti-septic properties. By also stimulating blood circulation, relaxing tight muscles, and its cooling function, KOOL 'N FIT® invigorates, soothes and creates a feeling of well-being.

Range Of Motion Therapy

• Relaxes the muscles and reduces swelling which allows the therapist to take the patient through a wider range of motion.
• Cool pain relief which increases the patients pain tolerance resulting in easier therapy.

Spray and Stretch Therapy

• Safe, effective and enviromentally friendly alternative to chloroflurocarbons (CFC's)
• Relaxes muscles for better stretching.
• Long lasting effect when activated (after approximately 5 minutes wait - No more rushing to complete treatment.)

Along With Ultrasound

• Reduces swelling and improves circulation.
  
• It is an anti-inflammatory which relieves pain, invigorates, and makes your treatments more effective. (Note: KOOL 'N FIT® is not a conductivity product. We recommend using it first, then apply your coupling agent and begin treatment.)

After Cold Therapy

• Reduces swelling and relieves pain.
  
• Apply it after the removal of ice to prolong the cooling effect for a more effective treatment.

Prior To Moist Heat Therapy

• Relieves tension and relaxes tight muscles.
  
• Increases circulation and generates a feeling of well being.
  
• Use before applying the moist heat to intensify effects.

Post Therapy or Post Manipulation

• Application of KOOL 'N FIT® reduces treatment fatigue, invigorates and revitalizes the patient.
  
• Brings down the swelling and reduces the size of bruises, extends the cooling effect when applied after cold/ice treatments.
  
• Minimizes post-therapy soreness.

Home Use

• Use as a pain reliever to comfort the patient at home, and to minimize soreness and other side effects. Recomended as a therapeutic necessity for the patient between treatments.
• Can be used in conjunction with ice/heat therapy at home.
