* Moist heat is used primarily for old and chronic injuries. It helps to loosen and relax sore muscles, tendons and ligaments, as well as increase blood flow to bring more red blood cells to the injury to facilitate healing.

“IMPORTANCE of WARM-UP AND STRETCHING”
Remember “Everybody needs a Warm Buddy”
Warm-up is one of the most important elements of an exercise program. It is particularly important to prevent injury:
Warm-up is low level activity, such as a brisk walk or a slow jog, which should be completed prior to stretching and more strenuous exercise. The objective of the warm-up is to raise total body temperature and muscle temperature to prepare the entire body for vigorous activity. The warm-up period prepares the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, nervous system and the musculoskeletal system by gradually increasing the demand on those systems so that they are able to accommodate the demands of more strenuous activity.

Sports Therapy wrap for all your aches and pains

Passive Warm-up:
The main goal of passive warm-up is to increase body temperature, either total body temperature or local body temperature, without physical activity. In passive warm-up the body temperature is usually increased by some external means, such as wearing heavy apparel, like a sweatshirt, and/or using our Warm Buddy Sports Therapy wrap or Body wrap. One of the advantages of using a passive means of warm-up is that energy is not expended in the warm-up activity. However, for best results it’s recommended that passive warm-up be used in combination with active warm-up.
Active warm-up:
Is composed of two types: general and sports specific warm-up. The general or non-specific warm-up utilizes low intensity movements such as walking or slow jogging general warm-up, involving low level activity, is usually more effective than passive warm-up in increasing deep muscle temperature. Specific warm-up exercises actually involve the body parts that will be used in the subsequent competitive event. An example would be swinging a tennis racket in a practice stroke.
The advantage of the specific warm-up is that the temperature is more effectively increased in the specific body parts that are to be used.
THE PURPOSE OF WARM-UP: PREVENT INJURY – ENHANCE PERFORMANCE
Experts agree that the main purpose of warm-up is to increase the blood circulation in order to raise both the general body and the deep muscle temperatures, which in turn help to heat up the muscles, ligaments and tendons in preparation for more vigorous activity.
A proper warm-up provides many benefits due to elevated temperatures associated with it. The likelihood of injury is reduced. Athletic performance can be improved. The warm-up increases muscle efficiency, reduces potential for muscle pulls, improves reaction time and improves the speed of movement of muscled and ligaments.
Proper warm-up can also help reduce the severity of post-exercise muscle soreness. The higher temperatures and increased blood flow resulting from warm-up are important for delivery of oxygen to the muscles and for prevention of build-up of unwanted waste products which can lead to muscle soreness.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WARM-UP and STRETCHING: WARM-UP THEN STRETCH
There is an important difference between warm-up and stretching. Many people stretch and call it warm-up. This is incorrect. It is important to warm-up before stretching. If one stretches the muscles without prior warm-up, the muscles are cold and are more prone to injury, such as muscle tear or strain. Before exercising, begin with a warm-up period to raise the body temperature.
You want to get the heart pumping and increase blood flow to the muscles before stretching. Slow running in place, a slow aerobic dance, or a walk-jog (all with ball), and the application of an external heat pack, is an ideal warm-up regimen to help prepare the muscles for stretching.

Vancouver Sun Run 2013

 Vancouver Sun Run 2013

It is that time of year. new year resolutions and Vancouver sun run seem to meld together.
Which has the strongest pull? We have for years resolved to making Vancouverites and Canadians fit through the use of our Sports Therapy wrap.
Whilst warm ups and stretching and training are a prerequisite for this race, so are fit toned muscles.
This is where our Sports Therapy wrap comes in.
You see before you do your stretches and warm ups, your muscles are like an elastic band, if you try to stretch and old tired elastic band it will snap, this is the same with your muscles, they need to be warm and supple before you start to stretch them.

Sports Therapy wrap for muscle aches and pains

The Sports Therapy Wrap is ideal for this purpose, place it in the microwave for 3 minutes and place it on your muscles and they will relax and be more able to support the stress and strains you will be placing on them.
Now should you pull a muscle the Sports Therapy wrap can also be frozen to be used for cold therapy and use heat for the old aches and pains following the race.
If you live in Vancouver these will be delivered next day
