Cold Therapy, Blood Flow, and Science
Whether we're jogging in June or doing roadwork under the blazing sun, we subject our bodies to elevated temperatures that can eventually lead to adverse effects. Cooling one's core with a cooling vest is an excellent way to gain the benefits of proper thermoregulation, but you can also benefit from more
localized targeting of the neck and hands. In fact, researchers at Stanford University recently discovered that a network of palm-based veins, collectively referred to as the arteriovenous anastomoses (AVAs), is instrumental in contributing to the body's overall thermoregulation.
Further Applications
In addition to body temperature control, Coolture's Hand Therapy Cooling Gloves can also be used to reduce the pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by alleviating pressure on the median nerve that triggers the condition. Simply insert one frozen CoolPak into the pocket of each glove and apply cold therapy for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Those who suffer from arthritis may also benefit from the Hand Therapy Cooling Gloves, as the cold temperatures can help to lessen inflammation.
