Pick for Heat Therapy & Cold Therapy
The Aqua Relief System provides both hot and cold therapy.
ARS2000
Almost all water therapy machines are cold water-based which is great for post-operative recovery from either a total knee surgery to rotator cuff to bunion surgery and everything in between. But rarely do you find a machine that can both deliver cold therapy and hot water therapy via its proprietary internal heating element.
If you are recovering from almost any surgery your body will trigger an inflammatory response which is the body's way of kickstarting the healing process. This is a double edge sword, unfortunately. On one hand, you have pain, but on the other, you have healing that has been initiated. Cold therapy can come in handy because it still allows for the inflammation process to occur but it will decrease swelling. This swelling is the main pain-generating culprit.
So where does the heat come into play you may ask?
Warm water can have a wonderful soothing effect on your mind and body, and for centuries it has been widely recognized for its healing benefits. Warm, damp heat like in Aqua Relief Systems hot water therapy system can not only help lessen your pain, it can improve blood flow, especially beneficial for speeding up healing to injured areas. It can also decrease stiffness in your tendons and ligaments, relaxes your muscles, and decreases muscle spasms. Ideal for arthritis and joint pain as well.
So think of cold therapy to address bony injuries usually from orthopedic or podiatric surgery. Think of hot water for your connective tissue like ligaments, tendons, and muscles. It's a great one-two punch!
There may be times when you need professional quality treatment to help with injuries or chronic issues, but you would love to be able to get it in the comfort and convenience of your own home and on your own time schedule.
The Aqua Relief System hot and cold water therapy machine is hospital-grade equipment, so you can receive the very best care.
Add water and ice and the Aqua Relief system can provide cold therapy for up to 5 hours. For heat, the heating element warms the water within 10 minutes and can circulate for up to 8 hours!
A 15-minute incremental time and auto shut-off help you to take control of your own treatment. It is recommended to check your skin often and if the heat or cold is too intense, immediately stop and let your healthcare provider know.
