Key Features

Built to the spec
clinicians trust.

01

Progressive Resistance

Color-coded band tensions (from yellow/light to black/heavy) let therapists dial resistance precisely to the patient's strength level.

02

Multi-Modality Therapy

Cold for acute injury (first 48 hrs), heat for chronic pain and stiffness, alternating for rehab — supports RICE and contrast protocols.

03

Clinic-Grade Durability

Therapy bands and packs are rated for repeated clinical use; consumer-grade equivalents fail under daily patient-facing load.

04

Evidence-Based Protocols

Pneumatic compression for lymphedema follows CDT (Complete Decongestive Therapy) guidelines. Hydrotherapy supports gait and strength rehab.

Clinical Use / Rehab & Therapy Aids

How clinicians
use this product.

Rehabilitation therapy aids support strength, range-of-motion, edema management, and pain control — from resistance bands and hand exercisers to cold/hot therapy packs, pneumatic compression pumps, and hydrotherapy equipment.

Indications

Clinical use cases.

  • Post-operative strength and range-of-motion rehabilitation
  • Lymphedema management (pneumatic compression + garments)
  • Acute soft-tissue injury (cold therapy — RICE protocol)
  • Chronic musculoskeletal pain (heat therapy)
  • Hand therapy post-stroke, post-fracture, or for arthritis management
  • Aquatic therapy and gait retraining

Application Technique

Step by step.

01

/ 05

Assess and prescribe.

Therapist determines resistance level, duration, and frequency based on patient's baseline strength, injury phase, and rehab goals.

02

/ 05

Apply cold within 24–48 hrs.

Cold therapy: 15–20 minutes at a time, with a barrier between pack and skin. Repeat every 2–3 hours during acute injury.

03

/ 05

Apply heat for chronic.

Heat therapy: 15–20 minutes, moderate warmth (not hot). Contraindicated in acute inflammation, impaired sensation, or active bleeding.

04

/ 05

Compress pneumatic sessions.

Lymphedema pumps: follow prescribed pressure (typically 30–60 mmHg) and duration (30–60 min, 1–2×/day). Pair with manual lymphatic drainage and compression garments.

05

/ 05

Progress gradually.

Advance resistance band color or exercise duration in small increments (10–20% weekly) to prevent re-injury.

Contraindications & Cautions

When not to use.

  • Cold therapy: avoid with Raynaud's, cold urticaria, impaired circulation, or sensory deficits
  • Heat therapy: avoid with acute inflammation, open wounds, impaired sensation, or pregnancy (abdomen)
  • Pneumatic compression: contraindicated in DVT, active infection, severe cardiac failure, and uncontrolled hypertension
  • Exercise bands: discontinue with sharp pain, joint instability, or cardiac symptoms

FAQ / Rehab & Therapy Aids

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.

What color resistance band should I start with?

For most adults post-injury: yellow (light) or red (medium) is appropriate for early rehab. Progress to green, blue, or black as strength returns. Therapists typically prescribe a specific color.

Cold or heat — which do I use?

Cold for acute injury (first 48 hrs) and swelling. Heat for chronic pain and muscle stiffness. Never apply cold to an already numb area, and never apply heat to an acute inflammation.

Are lymphedema pumps covered by insurance?

Medicare and most commercial insurers cover pneumatic compression pumps with a qualifying lymphedema diagnosis, documented conservative therapy trial, and provider prescription. E0650/E0651/E0652 HCPCS codes apply.

How long should I do cold therapy?

15–20 minutes per application, every 2–3 hours during the acute phase (first 48 hours). Always place a thin barrier (towel) between the pack and skin to prevent frostbite.

Can I reuse a cold pack?

Gel-based reusable cold packs can be frozen and reused indefinitely. Single-use chemical cold packs activate once via mechanical break of an internal barrier and must be discarded after use.
