CONTRAST THERAPY FOR SOFT TISSUE INJURY
Soft Tissue Injury & Rehab
All connective soft tissue injuries undergo the same healing process. Recovery times for soft tissue injuries can vary significantly depending on the severity, but are typically around two to four weeks for muscle, four to six weeks for tendon, 10-12 weeks for ligaments and around 12 weeks for cartilage.
Treating soft tissue 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
COOLING AND COMPRESSION
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 with cryotherapy provides more therapeutic benefit than cryotherapy alone. Our compression wraps allow you to apply controlled intermittent or static compression to tailor the optimal 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.
PORTABILITY
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.
“As a goalkeeper, I constantly face contusions caused by hard pitches and constant diving. Thanks to ProMOTION EV1 and its targeted warm-ups and cool-downs, I’ve been able to manage bumps and bruising effectively. Having this device during pre-season has been a true blessing! I definitely recommend this product especially to fellow keepers.”
“After seeing the success my former teammate Lewis Dodd at St Helens has using the device, I decided to invest in ProMOTION EV1 for my own recovery from a ruptured Achilles.”
“The device is really good because the injury was so small and specific and high up the leg.”

This is a very good device on the market because it does cold and heat treatment to isolate parts of the body which is ideal.
“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.”
