Heal Your Muscle: Combine ColdCure Technology® and BFST® Home Therapies! Muscle strains are the most common soft tissue injury there is. Muscle strains occur simply because the tissues become overloaded; every tissue in the body is susceptible to strains, tears and full breaks. In general, and most commonly, chronic muscle tears directly result from pushing your body's limits. This may include poor flexibility or strength, muscle fatigue, an inadequate warm-up, and a history of muscle injury; where as an acute strain may result from direct trauma such as a fall or a hit sustained to the muscle. Common muscle strains include groin pulls, hamstring pulls, quadricep strains, forearm pain and lower back pulls. Upon straining a muscle the bodies inflammatory response kicks in; this can last for a few days. During this time it is imperative that the injured area is rested and immobilized to prevent further injury. If the area is not attended to properly the injury may quickly get worse. Continued exertion on the muscle will quickly change a minor stretch into a major tear. In the injuries initial stages it is important to reduce the swelling in the area and to control the pain as much as you can. The RCCE (Rest Cold Compression Elevation) method has long been a tried and true treatment for muscle pulls and other soft tissue injuries. The best way to heal is to reduce swelling; the RCCE method facilitates this as well as a quicker healing time
| Dear MendMeShop, I love the products and I can definitely tell they are making a big difference in my healing. I just wish I had known of your products even sooner. I was in a serious motorcycle accident back in July and broke 17 bones, had a collapsed lung, and had numerous twists and sprains along with a lot of swelling. I was in the intensive care unit for 7 days and then in the hospital for 7 more before I was able to go home. To make a long story short, since using your products my pain level has gone down immensely and the swelling is finally under control. I even take the Inferno wrist and back wrap to work and use it since I have a desk job that makes it possible. I am down to just walking with a cane now and will probably be able to get rid of that in about two weeks. I did twenty minutes on the stationary bike yesterday and walked for ½ mile on our treadmill. Within another couple months I hope to be back to jogging several miles every other day. The 4 Inferno Wraps and 2 Cold Cure products along with lots of prayers on my behalf have helped make the difference. Thanks again so much, and God Bless you guys for your products! Steve Brown P.S. Also, here is a little more about my status now. I just ran the Peachtree Road Race (a 10K event – 6.2 miles) in 9:07 per mile. That was back on July 4. I just ran a 5K (3.1 miles) in 8:22 per mile this last weekend. I truly believe the wraps helped me get that level of fitness back. Many people my age (55) don’t even ever get in that kind of shape, let alone a year after a major accident with all the complications that I had. I still use the Freezie Wraps after running when I can and I still regularly use the Inferno Wraps before many of my runs and exercise to warm things up. Rating: Steve Brown          |
