“Following a cycling accident where I broke my radius, I found using ProMOTION EV1 on the contrast setting was a real game changer for the reduction of pain and swelling. Being able to accurately control the skin temperature and easily deliver contrast therapy without the hassle of Ice, water or mains electricity is a great step forward.”
“Every Professional Athlete Will Suffer Injuries In Their Career. I Only Wish I Had ProMOTION EV1 During My Playing Career.”

EV1 has had remarkable results for me in my recent recovery. Many products on the market ice/heat the whole area, but none I’ve seen in my 18 years in the game have ever done both, and target the specific point of injury. A truly wonderful easy to use bit of kit that more and more players will use once they have tried it
“Given the versatility of its uses and its compactness, I believe the sports science community will see this as a major breakthrough.”
