How Can Thermomedic Hip Supports Help Me Following Hip Replacement Surgery? According to Thermomedic's Head of Research and Product Development, Chris Copeland, "...Introducing patients to the natural health benefits of Thermomedic Therapy Garments appears to have a positive influence on their recovery after hip joint arthroplasty, with earlier mobilisation and reduced pain. Wearing our far infrared therapy garments may assist in reducing the length of hospital stay. Patients who understand the benefit of natural and safe health care treatments may heal more quickly with the use of correct health care and rehabilitation." The most successful and common form of arthroplasty is the surgical replacement of arthritic, destructive or necrotic joint or joint surface with prosthesis. A hip joint that is affected by osteoarthritis may be replaced entirely, called a total hip arthroplasty, with a prosthetic hip. This can involve replacing both the acetabulum (hip socket) and the head and neck of the femur. The purpose of this procedure is to relieve pain, to restore range of motion and to improve walking ability, thus leading to the improvement of muscle strength. Thermomedic Therapy Seamless Hip Supports for men and women provide gentle compressive support for improved mobility to assist muscle repair. Understanding Bio-Ceramic Thermal Therapy All tissue in the human body requires blood to survive. This process is called Angiogenesis - the growth of new blood vessels. Under normal healthy conditions, new vessels grow to restore blood to damaged tissue. In the case of disease and injury, however, the adequate growth of these healing blood vessels can be inhibited. THERMOMEDIC Therapy Garments use the scientific principles of far infrared thermal technology as a non-toxic, non- invasive therapy that may assist to enhance the blood supply that your body’s cellular tissue requires to restore normal biologic function. When investing in your health and wellbeing with far infrared health care garments, it is so important to choose products that will really deliver the results you want, as comfortably, safely and effectively as possible. Good health is not about market share - it’s about quality and value that you can trust. Thermomedic guarantee it. |
