What is Actipoche Multizones Hot Clay Cold used for?
Actipoche Multizones is an innovative therapeutic solution, combining the benefits of thermotherapy and cryotherapy to bring targeted, natural relief to various types of pain. This gentle, non-invasive approach uses clay, a natural element known for its exceptional properties, in an ergonomic format adapted to several areas of the body.
Thermotherapy, or the use of heat, is a proven method for relieving muscle and joint pain. The application of heat stimulates blood circulation, bringing oxygen and nutrients to painful areas. This increase in circulation helps to reduce muscle stiffness, relieve contractures and speed up the healing process. In addition, heat has a relaxing effect on muscles, which can be particularly beneficial for conditions such as torticollis, lumbago or menstrual pain.
Why use cold to treat pain?
In contrast, cryotherapy involves the application of cold to affected areas. Cold has a natural anaesthetic effect, slowing nerve conduction and helping to reduce the sensation of pain. In addition, the application of cold reduces inflammation and swelling, which is crucial in the treatment of injuries such as sprains and strains, or for acute conditions such as headaches or toothache.
What are the benefits of clay?
The use of clay in Actipoche Multizones is a deliberate choice for its multiple virtues. Clay is renowned for its ability to retain heat or cold, enabling a gradual and constant release on the painful area. This property ensures effective, long-lasting treatment, whether in hot or cold mode. What's more, clay is a natural component, with no risk of allergic reactions or side effects associated with certain drug treatments.
One of the most important features of theActipoche Multizones is its ergonomic design. Designed to adapt to different parts of the body, it can easily be applied to the knee, elbow, shoulder or even the back. This versatility makes it an indispensable tool in the treatment of various localized pains. Its 12.5 cm x 27 cm size is ideal for effectively covering affected areas, while remaining practical and handy.
