CALF INJURY RECOVERY
Calf Injury Rehab
The calf consists of two muscles – the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus. Recovery times for calf injuries can vary significantly depending on the severity, but are typically around two to three weeks.
Treating a calf injury 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 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
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.
