Swelling occurs whenever the organs, skin, or other parts of your body enlarge. It’s typically the result of inflammation or a buildup of fluid. Swelling can occur internally, or it can affect your outer skin and muscles. It can be painful and tender to touch, and can often slow down healing.

There are a variety of ways and remedies to reduce swelling. Your treatment will depend on the cause of the swelling. 

One method which can significantly reduce the pain and speed up your healing time, is cool healing technology, and there are specific pieces of equipment that can help reduce swelling. 

What is Cool Healing?

Cool healing is a type of cold therapy, in the same category as ice packs, ice massage, ice baths, and coolant sprays. It helps reduce swelling by restricting blood flow to the area and slowing down cellular metabolism. 

Cool healing is an effective way to reduce swelling in various parts of your body. It works by reducing the temperature around the affected part which will reduce inflammation and the pain caused by the swelling. 

Everyone can benefit from cool healing methods, as it is not only an efficient way to reduce swelling and pain, but it speeds up rehabilitation and can increase your range of motion.

Benefits of Cool Healing

The primary health benefit is reducing pain and swelling from injuries in distinct parts of the body. That is why it is advisable to have cool healing equipment with you at all times, especially during activities that might result in injuries. Most types of cool healing equipment are portable so you can easily bring them with you without any hassle.

Integrated cold and compression are clinically proven to help reduce post-operative swelling and regain range of motion, and as cool healing equipment has been tailored to accommodate specific parts of the body, you can really target and focus in on the injured part.
