More Facts About Knees:Babies are born without knee caps. They appear when the child reaches 2-6 years of age.The knee is the largest articular joint in the body.Each knee has two tough, rubbery menisci that act as shock absorbers in the joint. One meniscus sits on the inside of the knee joint and is referred to as the medial meniscus. The other meniscus rests on the outer part and is referred to as the lateral meniscus.Arthritis is one of the most common causes of knee bursitis.DTR (deep tissue repair) therapy is a highly effective treatment for knee bursitis.Runner's knee is not exactly a condition in itself. It sums up a multitude of knee disorders with different causes all centering around the kneecap.Obesity and improper body alignment are responsible for many knee injuries.Optimal knee treatment includes avoiding activity, icing the inflammation, gently stretching and warming the area.DTR treatments can speed ACL, PCL and meniscus recovery significantly. Cutting Edge Knee Injury TreatmentsMedical Treatments Once Reserved For Pro Athletes Are Now Available To The Public...Now You Can Heal Yourself At Home!An Extremely High Number of our Clients Have: Accelerated the Healing Rate of their ACL/MCL/PCL Injury Accelerated the Healing Rate of their Meniscus Tear Injury Accelerated the Healing Rate of their Knee Tendon Tear/Strain Experienced an Accelerated Rate of Recovery after Knee Surgery Decreased Inflammation in their Knee quickly. Decreased Their Pain Quickly and Significantly Increased the Range of Motion (ROM) in their Knee joint (reduction of atrophy) Decreased the Incidence of Overcompensation Injuries Decreased their Chance of Re-Injury by Healing More Completely & Quickly (less scar tissue). Decreased their Chance of Re-Injury by Learning About What Caused the Injury in the First Place. ...they simply decided to try our home treatment recommendations and committed themselves to a daily treatment protocol.But before you decide on a knee treatment path, an understanding of the three major stages of the healing process is critical. With the right knowledge and the right treatment options, you can accelerate your recovery without the fear of re-injury or setbacks (which unfortunately, happens to many people - we will explain why further down the page).Step 1: Reduce The Initial InflammationInflammation is the body's natural response to a shoulder injury and is a normal part of the healing process - helping to reduce tissue infection in the early stages of injury. Swelling, pain, heat sensation, redness, and loss of function are the main symptoms experienced and it is your bodys way of telling you there is something wrong.For certain soft tissue injuries of the knee, there may be no other option than surgery. As an example, if you have a full tear (often termed as "avulsion") of a ligament, tendon or muscle - attachment surgery will be required to sew them back together; in some cases, graft surgery (moving soft tissue from one site to another) is utilized when reattachment success is improbable.The overwhelming majority of soft tissue injuries of the knee, however, are not surgically necessary and in such cases your physician will almost certainly recommend conservative treatments options. The combination of rest, elevation, topical pain relief cream and the use of a Cold Compress or Ice Pack (when there is swelling) is the gold standard in medicine for minimizing tissue damage and reducing inflammation after injury or activity. It serves as a critical bridge into the next phase of the healing process.There are certain cases where inflammation is very minor or even non-existent. This behavior is often found in tendinosis and osteoarthritis injuries. If there is no swelling, then there is little need for cold therapy - and as such, treatment should proceed directly to step 2.Step 2: Enhance Blood Flow to the Injured Soft TissueTendons,ligaments, cartilage, and some muscle fibres are considered dense tissues. As a result, they naturally receive limited blood flow and this is precisely why injuries to these tissues take so long to heal. The challenge is, how do you effectively increase blood flow to these tissues in the knee?Rigorous exercise is out of the question as it will lead to further injury.Heating pads merely provide a surface heat and do not effectively penetrate into the dense tissues.Therapy is helpful, but that only happens a few times a week.It is through the blood the body carries the nutrients, oxygen, and antibodies the injured tissues need to repair and rebuild. Research shows that electromagnetic energy is a very effective treatment for stimulating blood flow to dense tissues such as tendons, ligaments, muscles, and even portions of cartilage. This dramatically improves the healing process.When you have a muscle, tendon, ligament or bursa injury, there is reduced blood flow to the injury site - inflammation and reduced movement (lack of activity or on-going immobility) will reduce the flow of blood - and if you think about it, this makes sense. If you are moving your injured knee, you run a risk of increasing the severity of the injury which is not good at all. If there has been some healing, you could re-injure this soft tissue all over again, quite possibly making it worse.Electromagnetic energy is an energy waveform that is absorbed by dense tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments) and absorbed much less by low density tissue (fat cells, skin). Absorption of this energy translates to heat, and the body increases blood flow to the area as a response to the heat. This increased blood flow speeds up the healing process, clearing the area of toxins and excess fluid build up, thereby reducing inflammation. This process is simply known as DTR Therapy, and stands for Deep Tissue Regeneration Therapy. This is a very important tool for complete and fast healing!Step 3: Recognize That Healing is a ProcessWith dedication, the right tools, and the right information - you will achieve your goal of a sustainable recovery. A combination approach of cold compression therapy, deep heat treatments, and functional movements will make it happen much more quickly.In our experience, soft tissue repair rates via conservative home treatment methods using a dedicated, comprehensive approach have surprised many of our clients, but will differ from person to person. In nearly all cases, however, it is very important to stop whatever you were doing that created the injury in the first place (ie. running, cycling).If you have questions about our products, we welcome you to call our office toll-free at 1-866-237-9608 (Continental US), or Internationally at +1-705-532-1671.Healing Solutions for Tendonitis of the Knee, Knee Strain or Partial Knee TearAre you looking for a superior level of treatment for your injured knee or chronic knee pain? There are highly effective treatments for knee injuries that you probably do not know about. A great number of our clients have achieved their goal of overcoming a debilitating knee injury and have returned back to their regular activities sooner than expected by treating themselves at home.For years, professional athletes (and privileged individuals) have had access to state of the art treatment therapies that allow them to heal more quickly and more completely than you or I. This is why athletes that have a serious knee injury can often get back in the game in a matter weeks, while you could suffer for months or even years (in chronic cases). Fortunately, with some of breakthrough products we have engineered, professional treatment is now available to anyone who needs it.Knee tendinitis, knee strain, partial knee tears (ACL, MCL or PCL), runner's knee or a knee hyperextension can happen to anyone, not just professional athletes. Right now, there are thousands of doctors and physical therapists dealing with patients that require a solution to treat their injury fast and heal it (where possible). Maybe they are competitive golfers or football players that must return to their sport quickly (downtime=money), or perhaps they are just patients that are unwilling to just take pain pills, lay in bed and wait. Regardless of who you are or your reasons, if you want to be proactive about properly addressing your injured knee, read more about augmenting your treatment with MendMyKnee's system utilizing DTR Therapy. We have many happy customers that have healed their knee injury faster than they expected as well as significantly reduced their pain during treatment.Anyone can injure their knee badly, not just professional athletes. Knee injuries are very common and are often a result of a quick twist or a blow to the knee or overuse of the knee joint. Stretching or tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or the medial collateral ligament (MCL), tearing of the meniscus, tendinitis in the patellar tendon or quadriceps tendon, and Hoffa's Syndrome are all frequent knee injuries. Regardless of the type of soft tissue that is damaged, it is painful and your knee can feel very unstable. Knee injuries can persist for years and be disruptive to your way of life. Recovery can take a long time but proper healing is essential to regain strength and get you back to the activities you enjoy.Knee Re-Injury Must Be AvoidedConstant re-injury needs to be avoided at all costs! It seems like an obvious statement, but I really need to drive this point home. Re-injury of the knee is very common... why? Everyone wants to get back to their regular lifestyle once the pain has reduced. Here is where you have to be careful - often, much of the pain is due to inflammation - so, once you iced the area and the swelling dropped, a lot of the pain probably disappeared too. So then you start back at your regular lifestyle and then all of a sudden the old injury starts flaring up again - this is re-injury!Each time you flex your knee, ligaments, tendons and muscle tissue move; when they are inflamed, every movement hurts. Once tissue is injured, pain happens - sometimes a LOT of pain, so you try not to move it; when walking, this is why you limp and usually start straining the other knee.Just Because The Pain Has Dropped, It Does Not Mean The Underlying Injury Has HealedA couple days later after some rest on the sofa and a set of crutches, the pain has really gone down (as well as the swelling) and this is where most trouble will start! The pain disappeared with the swelling but you still aren't fully healed. Not knowing this, we start using our knee normally again and so we prevent the knee from healing completely, usually re-injuring it again. We continually re-injure the area through our daily activities which can often lead to knee replacement surgery later in life or strain injuries cropping up in the other knee or hip area.Scar tissue is a weak form of collagen - hard, inflexible, and tough to get rid of once it begins to take hold. The more scar tissue that develops, the more you lose the range of motion in your knee. With excess scar tissue build up, the injured tissues and the knee in general will remain weak and very prone to re-straining and re-tearing.While you can go a number of days and even a few weeks without any major setbacks during the injury.. inevitably, a certain movement or motion will happen that causes your injured soft tissue to strain and even tear once again. This is attributed to the scar tissue build up and will result in the buildup of yet more scar tissue and a further reduced range of motion (ROM).The more scar tissue that develops, the greater the risk of winding up permanently injured with chronic pain or arthritis. Scar tissue means that your knee will not perform as well as it once did and it makes it much more prone to injury later on. The longer the injury remains, the risk of atrophy increases and the risk of more scar tissue increases. This is why it is critical to treat your knee injury now rather than later.Continuous re-injury and build-up of scar tissue makes it more likely that you will wind up with chronic pain, reduced Range of Motion or even arthritis (permanent damage).A Knee Injury Does Not Have to Persist For Months Or Longer. Here is Why It Does For ManyRecovery from a knee injury can take a long time, especially when some of the less effective, traditional methods are utilized. This is simply because many treatments either focus on masking of pain or are too inconsistent to provide sustainable improvement.1: Cortisone Injections Can Cause More Harm Than GoodThe issue some of our clients find with cortisone injections is that people get a false sense that their injury is healed because they are not experiencing the pain they once did. Often, these clients engage in activities their doctor specifically told them not to do because they "no longer feel pain". Once the effects of the cortisone wear off in a few days or a week, people often find they have done more damage to their knee. This of course, results in a prolonged recovery.Merely masking the pain is not a solution; it is just a temporary fix. Cortisone does not provide a permanent contribution to any stage of healing.2: Physical Therapy Helps (We Always Recommend It), But It Can Be Costly And InconvenientWhile we tout the benefits of physical therapy and believe it to be an integral recovery tool for most sufferers of knee injuries, the problem is that people only attend sessions a few times a week.To truly provide a long term solution to your knee injury, you need to be receiving multiple treatments on a daily basis. Not just any type of treatments, but ones that focus on generation of new healthy tissue - along with proper synthesis of that tissue as well.Treatments for soft tissue injuries are cumulative in nature...meaning the more the treatments are administered, the faster the benefits can be experienced. Who these days has time to visit a therapist on a daily basis? Not only is your time limited, but the cost of daily physical therapy sessions is out of reach for most people. Therefore, the focus needs to be on adding treatment options that can be done frequently, from the comfort of your own home (and even the workplace if the opportunity presents itself). We will discuss these options later on down the page.3: People Tend To Focus Too Much On Cold Therapy TreatmentsThis is the third and final reason for extended soft tissue injury causes. We see it all the time - people for weeks and even months only focus on using cold therapy.Doing too much cold therapy will actually inhibit the recovery because you are starving the injured tissues of the blood flow they need to repair and rebuild the collagen. Cold restricts the vessels - reducing the blood flow to the tissues that truly need it most.The focus on cold therapy treatments should be in the earliest stages of an injury. In the mid and latter stages of a soft tissue injury, cold therapy is used intermittently to deal with flareups of swelling and inflammation.The truth is, there will always some mild inflammation associated with tissue injuries. However, that inflammation will always remain UNTIL you begin to focus on healing the tissue. Once the tissues begin to heal, the inflammation will then subside more permanently - not just temporarily (as is often the case with cold therapy treatments on chronic soft tissue injuries).As an analogy, think of a home with a leaky roof. You can place a bucket on the floor of the attic whenever it rains - and this will help temporarily, but does it truly address the situation? Obviously the answer is no. Not until you focus on repairing the structural issues with the roof - will the problem be actually solved.The same concept applies to injured soft tissue - you need to focus on rebuilding and repairing them. To do this, you need more blood flow reaching them, not less.If you've been living with the agony of a knee injury for some time now, it's almost a sure thing that you're feeling discouraged, tired, and worn-out. Seemingly simple chores are now impossible - like climbing stairs, getting off the sofa without help, getting into a car or even standing for significant periods of time. The constant pain has no doubt interrupted your sleep, just adding to the long-term misery that this condition can bring on.It's just not possible to stop life's activities for weeks/months to rest knee injury unless maybe you are lying in a hospital bed where nurses can attend to your every need. What ends up happening is we continually re-injure the knee through our daily activities - further setting back our recovery. Each time the knee is placed under stress, the chance of tissue breakdown is increased and the growth of more scar tissue is more probable. This is how a knee injury can start a long term downward spiral that could end with a chronic bad knee, atrophy or even knee replacement surgery.Long Term Knee Injuries Not Only Affect the Knee - They Will Lead to Other Conditions and Injuries.When moving an injured knee - especially if its swollen - you will feel quite a bit of pain... basically every movement hurts. Due to this pain, your body will subconciously try to minimize knee movement. This means that when you are doing something you normally would use your injured knee for (getting dressed, walking, climbing into a car, gardening), your body will automatically start using back, hips and ankles and opposite knee instead. If you have a knee injury on the right side (knee injuries most often occur on the dominant leg) then your body will start using the left knee a lot more - even though it is inconvenient.A couple days later (after purposefully avoiding movement of the right knee), the pain has gone down (as well as the swelling) and this is where the trouble begins. Curiously, your hip and left knee are starting to hurt - this is because you they are bearing more of the load! The right knee pain disappeared with the swelling but it is still isn't fully healed. Not knowing this, your start using your knees normally again and then the injury swells up again like it did before - all because the injury wasn't fully healed in the first place.Eventually, we use the other joints more and more and this is why the opposite knee (and hips) start to continually ache and hurt - they are being overused now - they really cannot handle the increase in loads that the injured knee once handled. Soon, aches and pain can become commonplace in the lower body and back - all as a result of the original knee injury and the body's instinctive nature to "protect" it - all because the injury wasn't fully healed in the first place!We continually re-injure the knee through our daily activities and now this injury has become a chronic knee injury.Muscle imbalances result, placing tension on bone and softer tissues - leading to a misalignment within the upper body. The extra stress on the opposite side of the body will also result in weakness and fatigue of the tissues - increasing the chances they can eventually be injured or gradually degenerate. This is a textbook example of how you get an overcompensation injury. In some cases, physical therapists warn that overcompensation can be very dangerous as it will affect gait or alignment on a permanent basis.An injury to one knee area can easily lead to straining in other areas, making an overall recovery hard to initiate. For example, a serious muscle strain in the right side knee will typically lead to over-straining of the left knee. Most commonly, the injury occurs on the dominant side, so the risk of straining the other (weaker) side increases. The longer the injury (and corresponding pain) persists, the greater the chance that you will sustain more strain from overcompensation, eventually leading to issues in those areas as well. To minimize potential secondary injuries, know that it is important to deal with your injury quickly and completely.Truly, knee injuries can become a vicious cycle - which is why it is absolutely critical to focus on healing methods designed to rebuild and strengthen the injured tissues in a timely manner. The faster you truly heal, the less chance you have of sinking into a downward spiral of re-injury, scar tissue growth and overcompensation injuries.So I Think I Have a Knee Injury - What Should I Do Now?If you suspect you may have a knee injury, the first thing to do is consult your physician; only your physician can give you a proper diagnosis and from this, determine a course of proper treatment. After seeking medical advice, your physician will almost always recommend conservative treatment options - conservative treatment options for a knee injury typically means rest, ice the injury, elevation of the injury and take anti-inflammatory medication. (reference: 1, 2, 3).Stage 1: If the knee injury is very recent - use a good quality cold pack and Arnica Pain Relief Cream. If the injury has been going on for awhile, then skip to Stage 2 below.Recommendation 1: If you are experiencing pain and swelling in the very early stages of the injury (first 48 to 72 hours), the first step in a conservative treatment protocol would be to focus on reducing the discomfort by applying a quality cold pack to the injured knee along with a high quality pain relief cream such as our Arnica Infusion Cream. Not only will you use your cold pack for the first 48 to 72 hours after the injury, but you should also use it during other stages of the healing process. Some examples include...after any activity that stresses the knee in a moderate way. It is wise to quickly apply cold therapy to not only reduce the pain, but to also minimize tissue damage that may have occurred during the prior event.If you have a job that requires you to place some demands on your injured knee. If that is the case, use cold therapy immediately following work and if the opportunity allows - use it for 15 to 20 minutes during lunch or another break time.If you are in a post-operative situation where cold compression therapy would be utilized heavily for at least the first few weeks following the procedure. Similarly, if you are scheduled for upcoming surgery, then you will need a high quality cold therapy device to use.Having a Cold Compress or Ice Pack available at home to use if and when the need arises is helpful. Many of you already do so. Many people over-focus on cold therapy while ignoring the most critical aspect to healing - nourishing the injured tissues with a healthy supply of blood flow needed to repair and rebuild the injured tissues. This leads to the most important recommendation...Stage 2: Focus on Increasing Blood Flow To The Injured Tissue - As This is The ONLY Way It Will Heal For the Long-Term Even though the concept is simple, improving blood flow to injured soft tissue can be difficult. When the injury is knee related, the challenges are even greater. Traditional methods require your muscle to move to promote blood flow (exercise), but that same motion that promotes blood flow can at times lead to making your pain and condition worse.Have you re-injured your knee by returning to work too quickly?How many times in the past have you aggravated your knee just trying to perform basic tasks around the home?Is your debilitated knee preventing you from work or activities you love to do?Most people we deal with tell us these scenarios have happened to them many times in the past. Perhaps it has already happened to you.Promoting blood flow within a muscle or soft tissue injury to help the body heal itself is a concept that has been utilized for centuries. This is where the focus has to be if you are seeking long-term improvement.Oxygen and nutrients, carried within the blood, are critical for the body to heal itself. Without proper blood flow, recovering from an injury or condition will be delayed...sometimes for a very long period of time.The real challenge is how do you promote blood flow to the knee injury site without causing further injury? This goal is further complicated by the fact the knee (and muscles controlling the knee joint) are involved in the majority of the physical movements we perform each day. Back, upper leg and knee pain can be interconnected and are often experienced in conjunction with one another. Many of the muscles that surround the knees are connected to muscles in the hip and heel which can easily lead to straining in these areas of the body as well.An injury that often leads to straining in other areas will make an overall recovery hard to initiate. People tend to "chase the pain", meaning they only focus on treating an area that is actively painful, while not taking into account the fact they other areas of the body will be overcompensating...eventually leading to issues in those areas as well.In order to provide long lasting relief from your knee pain, you need to identify all the factors that are contributing to it. These factors can include muscle imbalances, short leg syndrome, herniated discs, trauma and tightness to surrounding muscle and soft tissue, etc. The list is certainly significant and it can be frustrating for people who may have no idea where to begin.When people think blood flow beyond exercise, they instantly think "heating pad". Unfortunately, many individuals make the mistake in believing that a simple heating pad or microwavable gel packs will provide the blood flow needed to heal injured tissues. Nothing could be further from the truth.To begin with, heating pads and warmed gel packs work on conduction. The heat they generate has to be forced through multiple layers of skin and fatty tissues. With each layer of skin the heat passes through, there is a corresponding energy loss because that heat is absorbing into each layer it passes through- the skin is an excellent insulator! Your body responds to this heat by increasing the blood flow near your skins surface (not in your injured tissue) to dissipate the heat and it does so quite effectively.By the time what little heat reaches below the skin, sub-dermal layer and fat layer into the targeted area (the dense, injured tissues), very little energy remains and this does not effectively enhance blood flow. With little blood flow reaching these injured tissues - healing just doesn't happen.The heating pad may feel comforting when on the body, but that is because the warmth is absorbing into the skin. Moist heat has been believed to be more effective at warming internal tissues versus dry heat, because it is believed that water transfers heat more quickly than through air. Clinical studies do not support that popular belief.When you are using a heating pad, all that you are really accomplishing is warming of the skin. The unintended consequence is that you draw blood flow AWAY from the targeted tissues (the injured ones deeper in the body) and direct the blood flow to the surface of the body.Warming the skin (conductive heat) is a poor method of stimulating heat in deep soft tissue.So If A Heating Pad Is Not The Answer, What Is?In order to effectively stimulate blood circulation to dense tissue deep within the body, an energy based on an electromagnetic principle (diathermy) is needed. In essence, this is a conversion energy vs a conductive heat (like the heating pad example above - that is conductive heat). Electromagnetic energy waves are not conductive heat waves - they are a much longer wavelength and hence, penetrate deep into the body. They are very safe and very effective as research over decades has shown. The F.D.A recognizes this as fact.When these energy waves are emitted,they penetrate right through your skin and fat layers until they are absorbed by tissue high in protein. This means ligaments, muscles, cartilage, tendons and bone. Once they reach the targeted areas, they are absorbed and quickly converted into thermal energy... right at the location of the injury.This results in relaxation of the vessel walls. The vessels then gently expand, allowing for more nutrient rich blood flow along with extra oxygen and antibodies to reach the damaged tissues. Plus, the enhanced blood flow helps in flushing cell waste and fluid build-up from the injury site - further enhancing the ability of the body to heal.As mentioned above, standard heating pads and heated gel packs accomplish the exact opposite of your goals. They direct blood flow to the skin, not to the injured muscles and soft tissues you are trying to heal.Electromagnetic energy is a form of energy will easily penetrate through clothing, skin, and fatty tissues... directly into your injured muscles and soft tissues within the knee. After the energy absorbs into the knee and surrounding area, the metabolic response then kick starts the repair and rebuilding process.More blood now begins to flow effectively to the injured tissues deep within the body. The injured tissue needs the extra blood flow to heal as it is through the blood the body carries the oxygen, nutrients, and antibodies needed for proper and long-term healing.While the concept of electromagnetic energy is slowly catching on in North America, the truth is, it is a technology that has been utilized in other societies for decades. Over the past 30 years, researchers in Japan and China have completed extensive studies on the use of the modality and their findings have been impressive. In addition, success has been reported in studies from countries such as Sweden and Germany.Research is continuing and soon, much of North America will know what the Far East and Europe has known for a long time; electromagnetic energy provides a wide range of health benefits for those not only suffering from hip strain, but for many other ailments (tendinosis, bursitis, tendinitis, Tenosynovitis, hip tendinopathy, muscle tears, hip replacement post surgery, frozen shoulder, knee achilles tear/strains, rotator injury, sciatica, tennis elbow, etc.) as well.Now, on to our second recommendation in the journey to heal your injured knee ...The Knee T Shellz Wrap - Heal Your Knee For The Long TermThe best option we came across in our research to accomplish true healing of soft tissue knee injuries is the Knee T Shellz Wrap . Use of this device results in a dramatic increase in blood flow to the injured tissues located deeper within the body - all in a non-invasive manner.Have you seen what happens when you add water to a flower wilted from drought? In essence, your injured knee is much like a "wilted" flower; your body wants to heal its injury, but needs lots of nutrients to do it. Blood brings new life to your cells by delivering healing nutrients and oxygen that are vital to your tissue. In addition, the blood carries away toxins and cellular waste cleaning the area and healing it faster. Without a good supply of blood, your knee simply won't heal properly.Using a T Shellz Wrap will not expose you to the risk of causing further harm to soft tissue like you can when using rigorous exercise. The Knee T Shellz Wrap accomplishes the goal of enhanced blood flow without the need for intensive exercise and as such reduces your risk of re-injury.The T Shellz Wrap - Accelerated Healing Power for Your Knee InjuryThe Knee T Shellz Wrap is based on the scientifically validated principle of Electromagnetic energy as we discussed previously. This form of treatment is safe and effective as shown in numerous studies which can be referenced through the National Library of Medicine. Professional athletes and those in the medical field have been users of the technology for decades - it really hasn't been until recently that companies like ours introduced the treatment devices to the home user.The healing energy from the T Shellz Wrap does not absorb into the skin - it absorbs directly into the damaged muscle and soft tissue (as a result, you will not feel the same level of heat on the skin versus a heating pad). The longer wavelength provides the electromagnetic energy wrap with the capability of penetrating deep into the body (well over two and a half inches). EM energy emitted from the T Shellz Wrap is absorbed by high protein tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage) and is converted into Kinetic energy - much of this energy being released as heat. Overall, EM energy will warm soft tissues, improve blood circulation, and boost metabolism and enzyme activity. In stimulating localized blood flow to damaged soft tissue, you provide needed oxygen, nutrients, and antibodies to regenerate new, healthy collagen. In addition, you will experience a clearing of toxins and excess fluid build up from the injury site. Over the intermediate term, this helps to reduce incidents of swelling as trapped fluids will be whisked away - reducing pressure on blood vessels.Using the T-Shell Wrap is truly a unique experience. Within moments of applying a treatment to your knee, you can feel the healing sensation due to the increase in blood flow deep within the area. During a treatment, and for quite some time after you finish, the treated area will feel relaxed and less painful. It's a very soothing sensation and extremely effective. If you have injured your knee joint or other soft tissue in your knee, then the T Shellz Wrap will provide the all-important deep tissue heat that will, in turn aid in boosting blood circulation where it is needed most.If you are dealing with conditions affecting your range of motion such as an impingement or even arthritis.If you have a chronic knee condition that has lasted for years- this device will help start the rebuilding process and help strengthen the surrounding and supporting tissues. Many of our past clients had suffered for years, then were completely amazed at the results they achieved after consistent, regular treatments.If you are still working with an injured knee, the T Shellz Wrap will help relax injured soft tissue prior to work and after a day at the job.If you are still trying to enjoy your favorite activities such as gardening, walking, tennis, etc - use the T Shellz Wrap prior to activity to help reduce chances of re-injuring or re-aggravating those targeted tissues.If you are suffering from bursitis in your knee and want to treat the major source of it (secondary damage to the muscle and tendon surrounding the bursa sac). Through overuse or degenerative changes in the knee, the muscle and tendons surrounding the bursa sacs will tighten and constrict. When they do, they place pressure on the bursa, causing it to become irritated. Applying a soothing and deep penetrating energy to the knee relaxes muscles, ligaments and tendons - taking pressure off the bursa.If you are experiencing atrophy in your knee and want to reduce the chance of re-injury - this is a perfect treatment to use on a regular basis.If you have been to physical therapy for some form of regenerative therapy and your physical therapist or physician told you to get a radiant energy wrap for your knee, then this is exactly what you need.If you have injured your knee and need surgery, then you will find this is a powerful tool after surgery to help surgically repaired tissues rebuild for long-term health. (once the surgery wound has healed)Increased Blood Circulation = Increased Healing RateT Shellz Wraps contain a unique, flexible Carbon Fiber Energy Pad which is flexible and will shape to conform to your body. This Energy Pad emits a uniform wave of perfectly safe electromagnetic energy over its entire surface. This energy travels deep inside to muscles, ligaments, tendons and the knee joint, inducing deep heat. Deep heat stimulates blood circulation your body needs to accelerate the healing of your injury. It is the electromagnetic energy that is crucial to the healing process.Attempting to treat all of these factors can become costly as different areas of the body often require different modalities in order to properly treat them...that is, prior to the development of the Knee T Shellz Wrap . The T Shellz Wrap was designed with flexibility and versatility in mind to allow anyone to treat multiple areas of the body, for a wide variety of ailments.In examining thousands of pages of research, we can conclude that the T Shellz Wrap energy will produce the following results:Effectively helps to enhance blood circulation andincrease the levels of oxygen within your blood. This, in turn, improves white blood cell function which increases the body's ability to eliminate toxins and other cellular waste by-products resulting from damaged tissue within the knee. This allows the knee to more easily stimulate the self healing process.Stimulates the production of collagen,which is a building block for human tissue.Many knee injuries are the result of trauma to a tendon or muscle, usually causing the tissue to tear. As a result of the tear, your body triggers a natural healing process resulting in pain, inflammation, and the creation of scar tissue. This process has 3 steps; getting rid of cellular waste while repairing damaged cells (inflammation), fixing the torn tissue with a "band-aid" solution (remodeling), and reinforcing that band-aid solution with flexible tissue (proliferation).You can speed your recovery while decreasing any risk of re-injuring the tissue by enhancing your body's own natural process of "tissue regeneration". Once inflammation has been reduced, scar tissue begins to form to repair the torn tissue. Scar tissue is much faster to build than flexible tissue, but it can only repair the torn tissue temporarily. Left untreated, the scar tissue provides little flexibility increasing the risk of re-injury. It will enhance the extensibility of damaged (& surrounding) tissue through a deep tissue thermal effect.This is a very important point. Many people with knee conditions often re-injure their knee due to the fact the damaged muscle or soft tissue is tight and the range of motion of the knee is restricted. Even the most minor of activities can cause a recovering knee to strain, sprain, or even tear. Every time this happens, your recovery is delayed. This is why using the T Shellz Wrap not only now, but also into the future, is wise. The energy emitted from the T Shellz Wrap is absorbed by the deep tissue, gently warming it, and thereby increasing the elasticity...all without risk of causing further harm and greatly reducing your chances of re-injury.Not only does it benefit those with soft tissue damage, it helps those who are dealing with nerve related issues.Electromagnetic energy, the technology the T Shellz Wrap is based on, has been shown to reduce pain sensation by direct action on the sciatic nerve - slowing the velocity of pain signals that travel up and down the nerve. In addition, electromagnetic energy applied to muscles and soft tissue that surround the sciatic nerve will help them become more loose, alleviating the tightness which usually leads to nerve compression and the subsequent pain it produces.Greatly reduces stiffness in the knee joints.Osteoarthritis in the knee occurs when cartilage and meniscii degenerate. Over time, the base of the femur (upper leg bone) rubs against the tibia (lower leg bone) with little or no protection from the cartilage. This lead to pain in the knee joint. The space within the joint starts to decrease without the cushioning and stiffness in the knee becomes a problem. The T Shellz Wrap excels at emitting a soothing energy deep into the joint, allowing for less stiffness and better range-of-motion.Contributes to your overall well-being.Overall, you will get the benefits of a stronger immune system and a faster ability to heal knee muscle and soft tissue injuries such as sprains, strains, and tissue tears. Use the T Shellz Wrap before activity to prevent further injury, before bed to prevent tightness from setting in during the night, and again in the morning to make your tired body come alive.Believe me when I say this; words alone cannot accurately describe what the T Shellz Wrap can do for you. It truly is something you need to experience first-hand. Now, take a look at what a physician has to say about electromagnetic energy in the following section...Benefits attributed to Electromagnetic Energy (the energy used in T Shellz Wraps:A Summary from Chapter 9 of "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition.(amazon.com link) Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin.Generally it is accepted that heat on soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments) provides the following desirable therapeutic effects:Electromagnetic heat increases the extensibility of collagen tissuesTissues heated to 45 degrees Celsius and then stretched exhibit a nonelastic residual elongation of about 0.5 to 0.9 percent that persists after the stretch is removed. This does not occur in these same tissues when stretched at normal tissue temperatures. Therefore 20 stretching sessions can produce a 10 to 18 percentage increase in length of tissues heated and stretched.Stretching of tissue in the presence of heat would be especially valuable in working with ligaments, joint capsules, tendons, fascia, and synovium that have become scarred, thickened, or contracted. Such stretching at 45 degrees Celsius caused much less weakening in stretched tissues for a given elongation than a similar elongation produced at normal tissue temperatures.Experiments cited clearly showed low-force stretching could produce significant residual elongation when heat is applied together with stretching or range-of-motion exercises. This is safer than stretching tissues at normal tissue temperatures.Electromagnetic heat decreases joint stiffness.There was a 20 percent decrease in rheumatoid finger joint stiffness at 45 degrees Celsius (112 degrees Fahrenheit) as compared with 33 degrees Celsius (92 degrees Fahrenheit), which correlated perfectly to both subjective and objective observation of stiffness. Speculation has it that any stiffened joint and thickened connective tissues may respond in a similar fashion.Electromagnetic heat relieves muscle spasms.Muscle spasms have long been observed to be reduced through the use of heat, be they secondary to underlying skeletal, joint, or neuropathological conditions. This result is possibly produced by the combined effect of heat on both primary and secondary afferent nerves from spindle cells and from its effects on Golgi tendon organs. The results produced demonstrated their peak effect within the therapeutic temperature range obtainable with electromagnetic heat.Electromagnetic heat treatment leads to pain relief.Pain may be relieved via the reduction of attendant or secondary spasms. Pain is also at times related to ischemia (lack of blood supply) due to tension or spasm that can be improved by the hyperemia that heat-induced vasodilatation produces, thus breaking the feedback loop in which the ischemia leads to further spasm and then more pain.Heat has been shown to reduce pain sensation by direct action on both free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. In one dental study, repeated heat applications led finally to abolishment of the whole nerve response responsible for pain arising from dental pulp.Localized electromagnetic therapy using lamps tuned to the 2 to 25 micron waveband is used for the treatment and relief of pain by over 40 reputable Chinese medical institutes.Electromagnetic heat increases blood flow.Heating muscles produces an increased blood flow level similar to that seen during exercise. Temperature elevation also produces an increased blood flow and dilation directly in capillaries, arterioles, and venules, probably through direct action on their smooth muscles. The release of bradykinin, released as a consequence of sweat-gland activity, also produces increased blood flow and vasodilatation.Electromagnetic heat assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema, and exudates.Increased peripheral circulation provides the transport needed to help evacuate edema, which can help inflammation, decrease pain, and help speed healing.Electromagnetic heat affects soft tissue injury.Electromagnetic healing is now becoming a leading edge care for soft tissue injuries to promote both relief in chronic or intractable "permanent" cases, and accelerated healing in newer injuries.Best of all...The Knee T Shellz Wrap is an FDA Registered Medical Device and is suitable for use in therapeutic clinics and FROM HOME. It is completely safe for people and patients to use for themselves.As mentioned earlier, the use of electromagnetic energy is becoming much more commonplace in North America for everyday people. The technology has been used for decades in the worlds of professional and amateur - a contributing factor as to why athletes seem to recover from injuries so quickly.Have you ever wondered by an athlete can return to activity after 3 or 4 weeks following a knee injury - while your average person takes much longer to return back to normal? The secret isn't really that much of a secret - it involves consistent treatments (meaning multiple times a day) using a diathermy treatment like the T Shellz Wrap to stimulate blood flow to the injured soft tissue. Most athletes have the luxury of using in-house therapy facilities many times per day.How many us can afford the time and money to visit a therapy clinic multiple times a day? Very few indeed. This is how you can gain the same advantage that athletes enjoy in healing their own injuries - by using a device like the Knee T Shellz Wrap two or three times a day on a consistent basis.Consistent Treatments = Consistent And Long Term ImprovementWhat Else Makes the Knee T Shellz Wrap So Special?We believe the T Shellz Wrap to be one of the most effective treatments to stimulate blood flow to dense, injured tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other similar tissues.We can promise that you will receive a product that is designed to be safe and does what it is supposed to do...quickly relieve pain and aid in the recovery from tendon, muscle and other soft tissue injuries.The unit plugs into a standard wall outlet to get its power. The nice thing about the power supply is that the same unit can be used in North America and overseas as well. It has the capability to operate between 110v and 230v.It has a special signal controller that can be set for 3 different power levels of application (3=High, 2=Medium, 1=Low). The cord is long so you can sit or lie comfortably and watch TV, read or surf the net while you're using it.Treatments are max 30 minutes in duration and the device can be worn over clothing. This allows you to use the device at work, at home, or really anywhere you have access to an electrical outlet.A Recap of the Benefits of the T Shellz Wrap ..Can be used ANYWHERE on either Knee (back, side, front) - very versatileTargeted treatment of Tendinopathy, Bursitis, Strains, Sprains, Impingements, Arthritis, etcIt can be used before exercise to warm up your knee to reduce the risk of injuryFDA Registered medical device for use in home or clinics - very high qualityGreatly enhances healing of tendons, ligaments, and musclesIncreases flexibility of tissues (reducing the re-injury factor)It soothes pain and whisks away toxinsCarbon fiber Energy Pad is strong, lightweight, and flexible - contours very easilyEnhanced blood flow provides an accelerated healing rate that will save time and money when associated with doctor or physical therapist visitsit is an outstanding tool for post-surgery rehabilitation, getting you back to work fasterThe most common question we receive from individuals prior to purchasing is - how many times a day should I be using my knee wrap and when should I be using them? While treatment plans will differ for each individual and their specific injury, there are general guidelines that should be adhered to.Use a Cold Compress or Ice Pack when you are experiencing inflammation (usually after exertion or movement of the injury area).The Knee T Shellz Wrap would then be used:Right after rising from bed in the morning (as this is when it is most stiff)Prior to going to bed at night (to relax the knee, allowing for better sleep)Before you know you will be using your injured joint (going to work, driving, typing, etc).Stage 3 - In Between Treatments With the T Shellz Wrap , Apply Our New Fast Acting Pain Relief Cream Called ARNICA INFUSIONDealing with aches and pains affecting the foot, ankle, leg, knee, hamstring, hip, back, arm, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand?

We guarantee it.To Stop Re-Injury & Reduce the Risk of a More Serious Overcompensation Injury, You Need to Heal Quickly & Completely!Anyone in need of rapid recovery and complete healing must consider a comprehensive treatment plan that includes an effective means to minimize swelling and inflammation yet also stimulate healing and tissue elasticity. We have found no better set of tools that can be used at home than this:What You Definitely Need to Successfully Treat& Heal Your Knee Injury at Home: A Cold Compress or Ice Pack to reduce inflammation of the soft tissue injury (as soon as possible). A Deep Tissue Therapeutic Knee TShellz Wrap to increase blood-flow to the injured knee (Deep Tissue Therapy Therapy).

We have thousands of customers that have tried many options out there and have been amazed at how effective and fast the TShellz Wrap treatment can heal soft tissue injuries.With regular use of the Knee TShellz Wrap:Your pain will be reduced.Your injury will heal at an accelerated rate with reduced potential for re-injury.Your corresponding knee will have a larger range of motion and increased extensibility of collagen tissue. (Chapter 9 of "Therapeutic Heat and Cold", 4th edition. (amazon.com link - Ed. Justus F. Lehmann, M.D., Williams, and Wilkin)If surgical intervention is required, you will find we have effective solutions for inflammation reduction before and after surgery. Reduction of inflammation reduces pain, enhances range of motion and minimizes scar tissue growth. You can read more about effective options for pre/post knee surgery here.Time is Money. A common phrase that is especially true when you are suffering from a debilitating injury! Rapid recovery will not happen by itself; if you need rapid recovery and complete healing then we advise you speak with your physician about whether the T Shellz Wrap is a therapy you could use for assisting in your conservative treatment at home.Anyone in the health-care business knows that your blood supplies the oxygen and much needed nutrients required to heal soft tissue injuries (injuries of cartilage, muscles ligament and tendons are soft-tissue injuries). The problem is that an injured knee means your blood flow is usually restricted in the area through inactivity and inflammation (swelling). The first step for conservative treatment of a soft tissue knee injury is to reduce the swelling to "open up" the area for greater blood flow. This is why health-care workers advise you to "ice" and "elevate" your injured knee... it gets the swelling down fast. Second, treat the injured area with the MendMeShop T Shellz Wrap . Through this process, Pain from the swelling diminishes, as the Cold Therapy treatments achieve the goal of inflammation reductionBlood circulation is stimulated in the knee area (via the T Shellz Wrap ), and this increased blood flow flushes toxins from the injury site and brings more nutrients to the area, allowing the injury to repair itself more quickly.The T Shellz Wrap is a highly effective therapy tool for patients recovering from a knee injury. This wrap will aid in the recovery stage of healing and help prevent re-injury or tendon/muscle strain in the weakened joint. Without the risk of re-injury, most patients can and will recover from their injuries at an advanced rapid rate.A knee joint injury is a race against time. The faster and stronger you heal your knee, the less chance there is for re-injury or knee problems later on.Reduction of Swelling (and Swelling Associated Pain)...Would you know you injured yourself if there was no pain? Probably not! Pain and swelling perform a useful role in letting you know that you did, in fact, injure yourself. Pain and swelling are what get you to seek out medical attention in the hopes of finding a way to reduce the pain and heal your injury. Inflamed soft tissue in the knee can cause extreme pain and reduce your ability to move. When you try and move your knee when swollen, you run a very high risk of injuring it further. This is why you need cold right after the injury - it gets the swelling down. You don't need medication, drugging your whole body, to mask the pain. You need to reduce the inflammation in your knee and avoid re-injury to see a reduction in pain.Just remember that an injury is not healed just because the swelling is gone - this is why you need to keep treating the injury with DTR Therapy and begin mild stretches outlined in our Ebooks once your physician gives the thumbs up. When used in combination, these modalities provide the necessary treatments to reduce the pain of your injured knee, greatly enhance blood flow to the injury and allow you to maintain and even improve the strength & elasticity of soft tissue in your knee joint.If you have a meniscus injury, knee injury or chronic pain in the knee, you can heal quickly if you treat your injury correctly. That means talking with your physician about using the right therapies every single day. I will now explain to you exactly why these therapies are critical for properly addressing a meniscus injury. Learning about this therapy system is essential. Once you have read more, you will understand that we have the unique ability to provide you with the best treatment options available to you at home. In fact, EM Energy products like ours are currently being used in many doctors and therapist clinics - they are just that good!The Knee T Shellz Wrap is intended for superior treatment of:Anterior Cruciate Ligament Strain, Partial Tear or Post Surgical Recovery.Meniscus Injuries - all forms.Medial Collateral Ligament Strain, Partial Tear or Post Surgical Recovery.Lateral Collateral Ligament Strain, Partial Tear or Post Surgical Recovery.Posterior Cruciate Ligament Strain, Partial Tear or Post Surgical Recovery.General Knee Strain or Inflammation Due to Hyper-extension.Knee Replacement Post Surgical Recovery.Chronic Knee Pain and Knee Osteoarthritis Pain Symptoms.If you have a bad knee injury or chronic condition, you will benefit greatly by treating your injury correctly. That means using the right therapies every single day. Once the swelling is gone (usually after applying cold compression to the injury over 24 to 72 hr period). BEFORE getting out of bed in the morning. BEFORE going to bed at night. BEFORE exercise, workouts or activity of any kind to increase elasticity of the ligament and decrease chance of re-injury. AFTER surgery (once the skin wound has healed over) to increase post-surgery healing rate and minimize soft tissue growth at the surgery location. Anytime BEFORE you feel you might undertake activity that will put significant strain on the injury area.

For this reason, we have created ebooks that outline specific knee exercises / stretches for our clients undergoing knee injury recovery.Even when you're injured and in pain you need to keep moving to break-up scar tissue that's forming in your tendons and ligaments in your knee. Regular movement can increase healthy range of motion (ROM) of your knee, guaranteeing you a speedier recovery process and return to regular activities.Moving when you're injured is hard. Since moving while injured can be painful most people think it's better to stop moving, rest their knee and hope that their knee injury will heal all on its' own. Even though rest is important to recovery, too much rest during the recovery process will increase the amount of scar tissue in your knee. DTR Therapy knee treatments combined with a proper knee stretching regimen will help decrease scar tissue growth while increasing elasticity and strength in the knee joint.During the healing process your body will fill in soft tissue tears with dense, brittle tissue called "scar tissue". The human body will use scar tissue as a temporary solution and will try to build the scar tissue as fast as possible to heal tears in the soft tissue. Scar tissue can form fast to bring together the edges of a tear, but working fast doesn't mean that the job's done right. When scar tissue forms it doesn't come together as neatly as regular (healthy) tendon/ligament tissue would. Scar tissue fibers will lay down over top of your tear in a cluttered, messy and jumbled up way.Knee Joint Atrophy in the knee is arguably a bigger issue than scar tissue. Whether you have a knee injury or have recently had a knee operation, you will find that the joint has a more limited range of motion than you had before. In most cases, this is due to atrophy - the shortening of connective tissue in the knee due to inactivity. In cases where atrophy exists, it is very important to stretch and do gentle exercise to nip this problem in the bud before it becomes a chronic (long-lasting) issue. If you are currently recovering from a knee injury speak with your physician about stretches and exercise. When done properly under recommendation of a physician, knee stretches have a proven track record of assisting in the speedy recovery of many patients. This is without doubt, the third and final essential tool for complete knee injury recovery. Once a patient deals with the swelling and inflammation through use of a Cold Compress or Ice Pack, then begins the DTR Therapy process by using home treatments with the Knee TShellz Wrap, all the while keeping rested to keep stress off the injury. Once the injury has healed, it is time to take the third and final step to recovery by beginning a knee rehabilitation stretching regimen. Our Devices Are Not Only Used To Help Heal Active Injuries - They Can Also Be Used Post-Operative to Accelerate HealingDoctors and Surgeons are always improving the techniques used in surgery, and results from surgery now are much more positive than they were in the past. However, all surgeries introduce scar tissue, and recovery from knee surgery is better than ever but often disappointing when it comes to full recovery expectations.If you do wind up getting surgery, know that rehabilitation at-home while attending regular physical therapy or doctor appointments is vital for your overall recovery.Consistent exercise and conservative treatment on a daily basis during your rehabilitation while working with your doctor or physical therapist is key. This is why you should seriously consider maximizing your recovery by using the T Shellz Wrap at home once you are approved for physical therapy.The more consistent you work at enhancing blood flow to surgically repaired soft tissue, the more consistent the healing process will be. Nourishing soft tissue with increased blood flow will bring more oxygen and nutrients (which are carried through the blood stream), giving the body a better ability to produce new, healthy collagen. In effect, you will help the body produce stronger tissues while potentially reducing the number of setbacks that can occur following surgical procedures.Click HERE to Go To Our Online Store We take all major credit cards and Paypal.If you have questions, call our office at 1-866-237-9608 (toll free continental US).We are currently offering FREE SHIPPING and a 60 day trial period on all our Wraps.Key Points To Keep in Mind When Treating Your Knee InjuryMake Sure That Complete Healing is Your #1 GoalWe all know that if the injury was healed, the pain would go away but what about the opposite situation? If the pain is gone, does that mean the injury is better? Unfortunately, this is not always true.Too many people only focus on suppressing pain symptoms while providing less attention to the true healing aspects of the body. Experiencing less pain, while obviously a good short-term goal, never equates to underlying healing. Scar tissue can remain for months after one gets to a point of being relatively pain-free. However, as long the weak and brittle scar tissue remains, you are susceptible to re-injury or re-aggravation. Certain motions or movements can cause the weaker tissue to easily tear - resulting in some reversal of the recovery up until that point.This is why we recommend for people to continue with their doctor or therapist recommended exercises and to continue with mild treatments of the T Shellz Wrap for a period of time - to better ensure complete healing.Ongoing treatments to enhance circulation will soothe, relax and promote healing of your damaged knee muscles and tendons. Knee T Shellz treatments will also allow your soft tissue to extend further due to the deep warming sensation created by the enhanced circulation to the treatment area. The more extensible your tissues are, the less likely they are to strain or sprain.The Knee T Shellz Wrap is a highly effective therapy tool for people suffering from soft tissue knee injuries - such as strains, sprains or partial tears in muscle, tendon or other soft tissue, Tendonitis, tendinopathy, tendinosis, impingements, instability, bursitis, pain associated with trigger points, scar tissue, and arthritis.A huge number of people who contact us about knee pain haven't a clue about the true causes of their discomfort. It is an amazing statistic and really goes to show how important it is to get a proper diagnosis from your physician. To really deal with a injury, you have to know the injury is - so get to the doctor and find out what the issue is.Resting Your Knee Will Help, But Only TemporarilyPeople tell us all the time, "I was told that if I stay off my feet for a few weeks, my knee pain will disappear for good."The truth is, knee pain is usually a culmination of numerous factors, which include repetitive stress, short leg syndrome, poor running gait, and overcompensation issues resulting from other muscle and soft tissue ailments.It may take weeks or months for these knee pain triggers to surface, but when they do, merely resting will not solve the underlying issues. You need to utilize options that actually treat the source of the pain and help reverse the damage that has been done.Resting has a role to play, but it is only one small factor in a recovery plan.Every Single Day We Receive Calls From Customers Who Simply Want To Thank Us For Introducing Them To Our Amazing Products!If you're tired of being told that resting, drugs and surgery are the only answers to your knee pain...Be optimistic, because there are effective alternatives for you.We will never claim our products will work for everyone.

What is the success rate of the Knee T Shellz Wraps? Do they really work?The short answer is - yes, the T Shellz Wraps are very effective at healing muscle and soft tissue injuries. We try and keep in touch with a large percentage of our customers, and we encourage them to do the same. In doing so, we have received a lot of feedback as we have sold Electromagnetic Devices since 2008.We can say that the return rate on our products is only around 5% any given month. That is exceptional by anyone's standards.Therefore, we can safely indicate that the overwhelming majority of people who purchase from us do achieve benefits with our products.What is the difference between the T Shellz Wrap and a standard heating pad?The differences between the T Shellz Wrap and heating pads, moist gel packs, etc - is a night and day comparison. There is nothing that compares to the healing capacity of the T Shellz technology.To begin with, heating pads and the like work on conduction. The heat has to be forced through multiple layers of skin and fatty tissues. With each layer of skin the heat passes through, there is a corresponding energy loss because that heat is absorbing into each layer it passes through. By the time the heat reaches the targeted area, very little energy is remaining and this does not effectively enhance blood flow. Without the enhanced blood flow effect to the injured tissues - healing just won't happen.The heating pad may feel good when on the body, but that is because you are merely heating the skin. Moist heat has been believed to be more effective at warming internal tissues versus dry heat, because it is believed that water transfers heat more quickly than through air. Clinical studies do not support the popular belief.In comparison...The T Shellz Wrap is based on the scientifically validated principle of Electromagnetic energy. This form of treatment is safe and effective as shown in numerous studies which can be referenced through the National Library of Medicine.The energy from the T Shellz Wrap ultimately will gently warm deep tissue, improve blood circulation, and boost metabolism and enzyme activity. This is why it works so well - because the body responds very well to this form energy. In stimulating blood flow to the damaged tissue, you provide the tissue with the oxygen, nutrients, and antibodies it needs to regenerate new, healthy collagen. In addition, you will experience a clearing of toxins and excess fluid build up from the injury site. Over the intermediate term, this helps to reduce incidents of swelling as trapped fluids will be whisked away - reducing pressure on vessels.How much time do I need to dedicate for treatments? Are the products easy to use?The T Shellz Wraps are very easy devices to use. After one or two uses, you will engage in the treatments with ease. Very detailed instructions are included and you are always welcome to contact us by phone or email if the need for help arises. In regards to the T Shellz Wrap , it is ideal to use the device two or three times a day on average. Each treatment session is a maximum of 20 minutes in duration and the device will turn off automatically at that time. Typically, people use the T Shellz Wrap before bed, upon awakening (or not long after) and one other time during the day when the opportunity presents itself. For people in an office setting, many will use the device at work (as it can be worn over clothing). For others, they will use the device an our or two after work.A Cold Compress or Ice Pack is primarily used following activity that stresses the injured tissues (following work, after a sports activity, or just suffering a general re-injury). This is done to reduce inflammation and to minimize tissue damage. Treatments are 15 to 20 minutes in duration.How long has MendMeShop been in businessWe established our firm in December of 2005.
