What are the benefits of Thermotex Infrared Heat Therapy?
Thermotex infrared therapeutic heat provides a deep penetrating form of thermal energy. This increase in thermal energy within the tissues results in an increase in the metabolic processes within the cells. Therefore, there is an increase in the blood flow to the area, a decrease in pain, a decrease in stiffness and an increase in tissue extensibility. The increase in metabolic activity within the cells results in an increased demand for oxygen and a resultant vasodilatation or increased blood flow to the area. This increase in blood flow is usually six times that of the blood flow to the same anatomical area during resting conditions. This increase in circulation not only brings more oxygen to the area but also supplies the area with more nutrients and provides a means to remove the cellular waste products created during repair.
