Heat and cold have opposite effects on the tissue:

Warmth:
- The blood vessels dilate
- Metabolic processes such as nutrient supply and defense processes run faster
- The muscles relax

Cold:
- The blood vessels narrow
- Metabolic processes slow down
cold application
effects
- Reduced blood flow to the cooled area
- increase in well-being
- Reduction in the feeling of pain
areas of application
Cold treatment products are typically used for...
... muscle and joint injuries
... ligament strains
... Pains
... bruises
... regeneration after training
Refrigerator:
- The thermal sleeve should not be too cold for the cold application. A temperature of 2-8 degrees is optimal.
- Place your sleeve in a resealable bag (e.g. in the bag provided) or other sealable container in the fridge.
- Chill the sleeve for at least two hours.
- You can simply store the Thermo Sleeve in the fridge until you use it.

Instructions for various application scenarios:
1. Pre-cooling
Aim : counteract overheating → Overheating can be delayed in the case of endurance exertion of at least 20 minutes and high ambient temperatures.
- Put the thermal sleeve in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Cool the affected area for about 10-15 minutes.
- Go to your training as usual.
2. Use in combination with reboots for swelling
Aim: Reduce swelling, reduce pain → The combination of cooling and compression reduces swelling and pain in acute injuries very well. In the event of an injury, to counteract swelling, you can use the cooling function of the thermal sleeves in combination with the reboots.
- Put the thermal sleeve in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Pull the thermal sleeve over the affected area.
- Step into the reboots with the thermal sleeve.
- Set a medium to high pressure level. Please pay particular attention to your own feelings when setting the pressure!
- Do not expose the chamber on the affected body part!
- It is best to choose one of the following programs:
- Flow
- Intense
- Intense flow
- impulses
