Physicool is an innovative and unique range of products designed to prevent sports injuries and reduce the amount of time spent on the treatment table. On the common belief that prevention is better than cure and a prehab routine is preferable to rehab, Physicool is a convenient solution to combating sports injuries.

Injuries can have a devastating effect on the aspirations of any sports person. Many sports people now incorporate prehab techniques into their training routine and Physicool makes the prehab of sports injuries far easier and much more effective.

Post-exercise, the bi-products of respiration such as lactic acid and damage to microscopic muscle fibres can become a serious issue. Continuing to train and compete when the body has not fully recovered from exercise, will lead initially to a loss of performance, followed by an injury.

The most successful methods for recovery post-exercise is the use of cooling and compression.

The ice bath is currently the most commonly used prehab method, the cooling of the ice forces the muscles to “flush out” the bi-products which build up post exercise. Also the tightening of the blood vessels (vasoconstriction) reduces the microscopic bleeding which occurs in damaged muscle tissue.

The ice bath however, is often not the most convenient method to be used post-exercise. The discomfort which is felt and the danger of hypothermia from prolonged exposure to the cold, limits the duration a person can remain immersed.

Compression when applied to muscles post exercise, increases venous return. This means the “flushing away” of the bi-products of exercise is accelerated. Therefore post-exercise recovery time is decreased and the potential risk of injury lessened. Many professional athletes are introducing compression clothing and bandages into their prehab routines.

Physicool is the product, which utilises the benefits of both cooling and compression, to make post-exercise recovery and the prevention of injury much easier and more convenient. Combining the compression of a cotton bandage with 7-10°C of regulated, deep muscular cooling and being totally reusable Physicool should form the back bone of any sports person’s prehab routine. 

Products included in the Physicool range: Physicool Coolant Combo, Physicool Cooling Bandage & Physicool Coolant.
