Sports Teams & Athletic Trainers
Athletic Trainers now have a versatile tool that delivers combined therapies of cold/heat and compression. The ThermoActive line of orthopedic bracing features removable cold or heat therapy and most come with compression built in to the brace.

In addition, the ability to add compression allows the ThermoTherapy Gel Pak to contour precisely to the affected body part.
Now teams can conveniently ice on the sidelines, between innings and after the game…right on the bus.
For heat, simply warm the removable gel pak in the microwave.
ThermoActive bracing provides mobile support plus cold, heat and compression. Perfect for pre-game heat, post-game ice and compression, and it’s all built into an orthopedic brace.
