OPTIMISING THIGH MUSCLE INJURY RECOVERY TIME
THIGH INJURIES
The quadriceps muscles group on the front of the thigh, can suffer from strains, tears or contusions, often caused by overstretching or impacts.
Recovery times for quad injuries can vary significantly but are typically around two weeks for grade 1, three to four weeks for grade 2 and 10+ weeks for grade 3.
Treating thigh injuries quickly and effectively can optimise tissue healing and reduce the extent of the injury. Recovery times can be mitigated with effective use of cooling, heating and compression.
How EV1 can help
CRYOTHERAPY
Cryotherapy is typically applied in the acute stage of an injury (up to 48-72 hours) to reduce pain and inflammation. ProMOTION EV1’s cooling application can be set from 6 to 15 degrees – the optimal temperature range advised. The addition of the compression wrap allows you to apply controlled intermittent or static compression compression levels in response to the athlete/patient’s presentation.
CONTRAST THERAPY
Contrast therapy is typically used in the subacute stage of tissue healing. Introducing heat can be helpful when the patient is moving into the remodelling stage of healing, to aid with the alignment and pliability of tissues to make them stronger.
During contrast therapy, the blood vessels undergo rapid cycles of dilation and constriction, resulting in a pulsating effect believed to enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery to the tissues. This increased supply of oxygenated blood can lead to more efficient waste removal, improved functionality, and accelerated healing and recovery.
PORTABLE & EASY TO USE
ProMOTION EV1 is easy to use, compact and fully-portable. It’s battery-operated and there is no need for ice, water or mains tethering, meaning can be used whenever and wherever you need it.
“I used EV1 in my quad rehab. The main benefit and biggest selling point for me was the isolation of the specific area of injury, along with the ability to set it to hot, cold or contrast.”
“The research just really blew me away, because the validity and reliability studies it went through were really impressive.”
“It’s a top end product and one I’ll be using for the rest of my career.”

“The targeted effect of this product where we can isolate and cool and area really specific and localised has massive potential for not putting an athlete back on the pitch in a detrimental circumstance
