Knees are one of the parts of our body that are very prone to injuries. These injuries can result in excessive pain and discomfort while performing daily activities. Besides, there are various other reasons for knee pain, including arthritis, getting older, and other hereditary issues. Cold therapy is one of the most effective and commonly used treatment of curing knee pain and injuries.
If used appropriately, it can reduce swelling, provide relief from pain, and promote the healing process. There are multiple methods of giving cold therapy to your knees which includes ice packs, frozen vegetables, ice cups, and cryo cuff knee system. Among these cryo cuffs are most effective for reducing swelling, pain, and muscle spasms.
Firstly, you need to prepare the cooler inside the cryo cuff knee system. Fill the cooler tube with cold water up to the line and the rest of it with ice, then lay the disk on top and close it tightly. Let it settle for 5 minutes and shake it timely to cool the water. Secondly, apply the empty cuff around the area to be cooled. Don’t tight the straps just snug it.
After setting the cuff, connect the cooler with cuff and hold the former above the latter until it fills. Keep the cooler not more than 15 inches above the cryo cuff. When the cryo cuff knee system is filled with cold water, disconnect the tube and you can perform daily activities with the cuff on. For better results, use it 3 to 4 times a day for about 30 minutes.
