CLIMBING: TRAINING FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE, 2ND EDITION by Clyde Soles
Authors Recommendation for ActiveWrap Products
from page 218, in Chapter 8:
"If
you're no stranger to injury, commercial thermal packs are more comfortable and
are easier to secure than homemade cold packs. ActiveWraps are the best choice
for treating joint trauma because they provide compression in addition to
heat or cold therapy. There is
an ActiveWrap available for the wrist, elbow, shoulder, back, knee, and ankle
(from $25 to $50 each) that provides a snug, comfortable fit. These include
unique gel packs that can be frozen or heated in a microwave and will not squish
away from boney areas. With a couple of packs, you can alternate hot and cold
treatments once swelling is gone for faster healing."
About The Book:
"Whatever your talent, experience, and ambition, if you climb you would
do well to read Clyde Soles' training manual. This book will allow you
to pull down harder, last longer, and have more fun while you're at
it." -Jon Krakauer, author of "Into Thin Air"

Volume 38| Number 6 | June 2008
ActiveWrap Inc. of Cypress, Ca has introduced a shoulder heat and ice wrap. Constructed with 2 large reusable hot-cold thermal packs, the ActiveWrap device is designed to deliver superior function and fit with better comfort and conforming materials, improved sizing, and overall ease of use.
The wrap's ergonomic strategically vented neo-lycra sleeve allows the typical shoulder patient to apply the device without assistance and without sacrificing mobility. The shoulder wrap also features dual rotator cuff straps to drive cold where the pateint needs it most, alleviating loose "untouched" areas.
In addition to the overall structural design of the ActiveWrap shoulder device, a stretch gel ice component insures lightweight, flexible therapy around the entire joint capsule. The patient or therapist can also target exact spots by removing one of the two included hot/cold packs inside the support wrap.
