"Prior to opening Health Quest Physical Therapy, I was working with another physical therapy company that was using and selling a competitor's product .  I was unsatisfied with how your competitor's product was not malleable when frozen, did not fit well over ankles, knees, shoulders, and how the velcro and ice bubbles wore out after about about 3 months. After leaving that company to start my own, I made it a point to make ActiveWraps THE choice for my cold-therapy.  Without even trying to "sell" these products to people, I had about 90% of my patients ask where I got such a great product since durable ice packs are so hard to come by.  I had a hard time keeping them stocked because so many people wanted one.  One of the biggest benefits is the ability to change between cold and hot applications in less than 20 seconds by having only a $15 second set of insertable packs to allow for contrast applications.  The durability, versatility, and soft feel of ActiveWraps make them the superior ice/heat products on the market."

"I climb cranes everday like spiderman. I had rotator cuff surgery (3 muscle anchors and 2 ripped tendons). Serious pain and Im not climbing now. Im 5 months post op and working limited duty. WITHOUT your shoulder ice wrap I could not take the pain. This has been a LIFE SAVER, it fits and is comfy. Very well designed. I was worried about size but this will fit a large man. 6'4"-240lbs and some room to spare. Buy it, you will not be sorry!!!"

"The Knee Ice Wrap I ordered arrived the day before I was released form the hopital following my knee replacement. I've  been using this excellent product (much better than the one used at the hospital) ever since I returned home. I've owned quite a few ice wraps and this one is by far the best. My only disappointment is that I didnt order additional ice inserts. Thank you for your excellent service.

  Tom M

"The knee ice wrap is awesome."

"The shoulder ice wrap works great, wish I had it for my first shoulder joint replacement. Easy to use with only one good arm and it gets all of the shoulder iced. Well constructed and will last for a long time."
 
  Mark 
 
"We received our ActiveWrap back wrap and want you to know how much we appreciate it. I was prescribed a support by my spine specialist at the Cleveland Clinic
which I couldnt wear because it was too painful so they recommended a softer support. The ActiveWrap low back wrap was perfect as I wear it without the gel pad inside without any pain or discomfort."
Malissa M
 
This is the best item like this I've found. Most cold packs never get/stay cold enough--this one does. And the wrap is terrific, allows you to put it on whatever part of your foot is ailing. Beautifully designed and functional.

Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis occurs on the outside aspect of the elbow where the extensor muscles attach to the bone. Tennis elbow is generally caused by overuse or overload of the muscles along the outside of the forearm. These muscles act as extensors of the wrist.

Signs and symptoms of Tennis elbow include pain and local tenderness over the lateral epicondyle. Tennis elbow is frequently caused by other activities that involve the wrist, such as racquetball, squash, and job environments such as a mechanic, plumber, painter and even meat cutting... . Repetition is a common thread here. Pain can start gradually and increase as time goes on. Lifting objects, gripping items, and shaking hands can generate the pain cycle. Lifting your fingers and wrists against opposition can test positive for Tennis Elbow as well. Mechanical adjustments to a particular motion can certainly improve your problem. A swing that has too much wrist movement can flare up a case of lateral epicondylitis. Grip size and racquet head can also be a culprit of this injury in sports. Consult a qualified tennis pro to analyze your swing and help you change it if needed. If it is the use of your computer that causes this ailment, then an ergonomic assessment or newly designed mouse may be just what the doctor ordered. A physical therapist can recommend specific treatments for Golfer’s Elbow. These may include:

  • Application of ice several times a day for pain relief (See ActiveWrap product)

  • Stretching with arm extended out and wrist in flexed position (consult your local therapist)

  • Keeping your wrist in a stabilized neutral position when lifting objects

  • Using a forearm strap

Non-operative treatment is generally successful in most cases with only a small percentage requiring arthroscopy to regain function. The above information is informative only and designed to educate the patient on various options and conservative methods to become familiar. ActiveWrap Inc. recommends consulting your local orthopedic specialist for a complete evaluation.

 
Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis: many people can hardly say it, let alone spell it. Regardless, many people suffer from Plantar Fasciitis, making it one of the most commonly treated foot injuries. The Plantar Fascia is a fibrous band of tissue running from the heel bone (calcaneous) to the metatarsal bones (at the base of the toes). Its purpose is to keep the structure of the longitudinal arch at the bottom, or plantar, aspect of the foot.

“Fasciitis” is inflammation, or even tearing, in severe cases of the fascia tissue. Avoidable factors such as repetitive stress form jumping activities or running on hard surfaces can contribute to this condition. Furthermore, having “high arches” or “very flat arches” can place increased stress on the fascia tissue resulting in excessive strain.

Once this tissue is “irritated” the body attempts to repair itself by sending calcium to protect the area and plaster over the spot, so to speak. This is often times how a “heel spur” is created.The calcium forms a hook-like spur on the base of the heel to maintain its connection with the fascia that is being pulled away.

Treatment is best prescribed by your physician. This often includes rest, cold therapy (see ActiveWrap), stretching, arch exercises, orthotics, and night splints. Avoid suddenly jumping out of bed in the A.M. on your unprotected, stiff arch. This will further set back any healing from the previous night’s treatment.
