BIOFREEZE- The cold therapy
Cryotherapy is the therapeutic use of extreme low temperatures to treat a variety of tissue damage, reduce blood flow to injured area and decrease muscle spasm. The most popular form of Cryotherapy is ice, however it has many disadvantages, such as; muscle stiffness, irritation to the skin, and prevents patients to remain in a stationary position. A more convenient form of cryotherapy is Biofreeze.
WHAT IS BIOFREEZE AND HOW DOES IT HELP?
Biofreeze is a tropical analgesic gel for pain relief made from methanol. It has been proven to be as effective as ice with longer lasting results. Biofreeze helps temporarily relieve pain from muscle spasm, cramps, arthritis and contusions. Biofreeze is colourless, causes no damage to the skin, applies easily and penetrates the quickly. When a joint or muscle is injured, normally exercise is the first form of treatment. But sometimes, your body is in too much pain and limits body’s ability to exercise. Applying Biofreeze will help relieve pain by stimulating specific sensory receptors in the skin and preventing other receptors from sending pain signals to the brain. Biofreeze can be applied 4 times a day- before, during and after exercise.
TYPES OF BIOFREEZE PRODUCTS
– Biofreeze Cryospray: The spray is perfect for those hard to reach regions. With its ability to rotate 360 degrees, it works at any angle.
– Biofreeze Tube: This is the most common and popular Biofreeze product. The tube allows people to maximize the effect of Biofreeze gel by deeply massaging it onto the site of pain.
