XTREME Relief™ - Thermal Compression Systems

What is an XTREME Relief™ THERMAL BRACING SYSTEM?

Yortho introduces XTREME Relief™ - a NEW line of orthopedic supports with a heating system that is totally programmable. Program the brace and within minutes, the support will have the injured area warm for hours.

The bracing system is made of four parts.

1. Support
2. Control (fits in your pocket or on your belt)
3. Connector from the control unit to the support
4. Heaters that are inside the supports

It is the first totally portable, programmable heating system.

Unlike heating pads that deliver consistent heat, there is no need for electrical outlets.

Wear the XTREME Relief™ THERMAL BRACING SYSTEM at home, in the garden, or at the gym. You will get consistent heat therapy for hours.

Isn't there anything like XTREME Relief™ THERMAL BRACING SYSTEM on the market?

NO! Hot packs do not provide constant temperature and they can burn patients.

Heating pads need electrical outlets that limit your mobility.

Heaters are placed inside the orthopedic support and are connected to a control unit that is worn on your belt or placed in a pocket.

By simply putting on the support, the heaters are in ideal locations to provide qulaity heat therapy. Some models allow heater adjustment.

Turn the on/off switch to the "on" position. Scroll the temperature control dial to the desired temperature.

In a matter of seconds, the LCD will go "BLANK" and return with a temperature reading.

You are now able to watch the heater temperature rise as you experience heat therapy.

Attach the control unit on your belt or place it in your pocket.

It's easy to use and conveniently sized.

The use of heat therapy offers distinct benefits including:

1. Improved blood flow

2. Delivery of leukoeytes and antibodies to injured area

3. Promotion of muscle relaxation

4. Reduced pain from muscle spasms and stiffness

5. Discomfort relief

6. Rehabilitation of fracture treatment

Heat Therapy and Cold Therapy: do you know when to use heat or cold therapy for an injury?

Heat Therapy or Cold Therapy?

Do you know when to use heat or cold therapy for an injury? The application of therapuetic heat to your body can improve the flexibility of your tendons and ligaments, reduce muscle spasms, alleviate pain, and elevate blood flow. The mechanism by which heat relieves pain is not exactly known, although researchers believe that heat relaxes nerve fibers which can force muscles into irritating spasms. Heat may also induce the release of endorphins which are powerful opiate-like chemicals which block pain transmission.

Increased blood flow occurs in heated parts of the body because heat tends to relax the walls of blood vessels. That is one reason why sports doctors recommend that you steer clear of the practice of heating already inflamed joints. Heat appears to be best for tight muscles and increasing overall flexibility. The proper tissue temperature for vigorous heating is 104 to 113 degreess Fahrenheit (40-45 degrees Celsius) and the correct duration of temperature elevation is about five to thirty minutes. Although heating can reduce muscle spasms after a back injury, heat should not be used on sprained ankles or strains.

Is XTREME Relief™ THERMAL BRACING SYSTEM Safe?

YES! There are safeties built into the control unit and into the heaters to prevent overheating and burning. XTREME Relief™ has gone the "extra mile" to provide the safest product possible.

The XTREME Relief™ THERMAL BRACING SYSTEM does not involve AC outlets to provide electical current to the support. The support is powered through a DC current which is much safer. The only time you use AC outlet is to plug the XTREME Relief™ THERMAL BRACING SYSTEM into the battery charger. Charge the system while you sleep and enjoy up to 7 hours of constant heat the next day.
