Thigh injuries are very often to sportsmen in extreme hot weather or when they have done excessive running. The thigh becomes tired in such a case and they start having cramps which are very painful in nature. These cramps tend to stop movement and the best way to control them is by giving cold massage. This helps in temperature variations in the thigh muscles which are pretty hot after long run-up or in a hot weather. This the logic behind the creation of Aircast thigh Cuff only. They understand the nature and the reason for the occurrence of cramps or thigh pains and so treat it according to that only.

The thigh cuffs are made of materials that fit automatically to one’s thigh such that it provides maximum of cryotherapy to the thigh muscles. The muscles of the thigh want cryotherapy in such a case. The Aircast thigh cuff only may or may not have in it cold therapy pads. If one wishes to have them they are available separately also. The reason why all cuffs are not attached with cold pads is that if one is wearing cold pads repeatedly there might be a complete damage in their tissues. Regular cold application is also not good but for some time cold therapy must be provided to soothe the heated up ligament.

Sportsmen suffer from Hamstrings a lot because of the pulling up of the muscles of their thighs. Thus the thigh cuff must be such that the entire area of the thigh is covered by the pad. Usually for a thigh injury no specific regions are there where injuries do happen so providing therapy to entire thigh is best. Moreover the thigh tissues get support from the cuffs and if cold therapy is used with cuffs then they tend to recover soon.
