Ice Power cold treatments for sports
Treating acute traumas with cold treatment is quite a common method of first-aid. Cold treatment is very suitable for taking care of muscles after heavy training or a sports competition. Its tissue-cooling effect reduces infl ammation and enhances recovery from traumas. The cold treatments used most often are cold water, cold packs, cold spray, ice, snow and cold gel

Ice Power Cold Gel gains its cooling effect from menthol and essential oils which lower the temperature of the skin surface by approximately 7 degrees. This helps to avoid the risk of freezing which may occur when ice and cold pack are used. The infl uence of the Ice Power Cold Gel is enhanced by the cold-conveying menthol receptor, which belongs to the group of temperature-regulating receptors. With the help of this receptor, the effect extends to deeper tissues, as well, and limits the area of trauma. The leaking of blood and tissue fluid to the tissues decreases and the swelling will be smaller.
Ice Power Cold Gel is a non-medication type of pain treatment. It is safe to use even for extended periods of time. Ice Power Cold Gel is suitable for treating traumas after using the cold pack, in order to prolong the cold effect and thus quicken the healing process.
Ice Power Cold Gel is an excellent as recovery aid after tough physical stress; it relaxes muscles by adding to the metabolism of the area, and reduces pain. Hard stress and insufficient recovery can lead to tissue inflammation which can be avoided with the help of the cold gel. Ice Power cold gel, if used as soon as possible after the physical stress, can offer sufficient help for recovery and prevents traumas. Ice Power Cold Gel is also available in a Roll tube. The roll helps to spread the gel exactly over the places where treatment
is needed. Spreading the gel from a roll-tube improves the absorption of the gel so that it can have an immediate and powerful effect. Moreover, the roll is neat to use – you do not have to soil your hands!
