Woof Wear Hot & Cold Therapy Packs are ideal to coll legs off after strenuous exercise. In addition, these packs can be heated up to provide heat therapy when required. Cold Therapy is often used to reduce inflammation, by decreasing the blood flow to a strained area, thus slows metabolism of the tissue surrounding the strained area, helping minimising any further damage and, as a result, speed healing.
Heat therapy is often used to also treat a trauma to tissues or joints, heat being a form of energy increases the metabolic rates of cell activity rather than decreases like cold water. Heat therapy dilated capillaries, and as a result, oxygen and nutrients within the blood are brought to the area much faster.
