Dear MendMeShop,

The MendMeShop ultrasound device I bought has been a great purchase...well worth the money. The ultrasound gel seems so much better than the gel they use at the physical therapy or chiropractic offices. I initially bought the ultrasound device for an Achilles problem, and that was taken care of within 3 weeks. I am a runner who competes in races ranging from a mile to the marathon distance and competes in duathlons and triathlons. In January of 2008 I had a severe injury of my hamstring. I took it easy, iced, and waited for the pain to go away (at this point I had not heard about a home ultrasound device.) I was able to continue running after the pain lessened, but my range of motion was limited. My right leg was tight because of the hamstring injury. In May of 2008 I was running in a boot camp class and re-injured the hamstring. An MRI showed a right hamstring strain and extensive bursitis of the right hip. I began using the ultrasound device 3 times a day and I can say that my hamstring and hip are pain free. I have not had this much flexibility/range of motion in my right leg for over a year and a half.

More Hamstring Injury Facts:

Oral Medications can mask the pain but do not aid in the healing of a Hamstring muscle injury. Anti-inflammatories and Pain killers can cause Hamstring muscle related injuries to worsen.


One out of three athletes who sustain an initial hamstring injury will reinjure their hamstring within a year of returning to play. It is theorized that weakness in the hamstring muscle due to incomplete or improper (scar tissue) healing will often cause a hamstring re-injury.


A Grade 1 Hamstring Injury is a mild strain with a few torn muscle fibers in the hamstring.


A Grade 2 Hamstring Injury is a moderate strain and the patient shows a definite loss in strength.


A Grade 3 Hamstring Injury is a complete tear of the hamstring muscles.


10% to 23% of all acute soccer injuries are typically hamstring tears and hamstring strains (also known as strain injuries of the posterior thigh).


A complete tear of the Hamstring will require reattachment surgery. There is no avoidance of this.

 

Dear MendMeShop,

Just a note to let you know I'm 100% satisfied with all of the products I've ordered from your company including the Hamstring INFERNO wrap and ultrasound machine.

Possible Reasons for High Rates of Hamstring Injury:

Timing and Coordination problems during a running sprint - specifically during the time the back leg is off the ground and pulled forward (to place on ground in front of you).


Running stride is too long (overstride), or the sway in the run is significant (causing more stress on the hamstring).


An Improperly healed hamstring injury will predispose you to another hamstring injury.


Lack of stiffness in the hamstring muscle will increase your chance of a strain when your feet are contacting the ground in a run. (inability to absorb enough shock)


Improper warm-up before exercise.


A slippery playing surface increase your odds of a hamstring strain due to slipping.


Certain Lower Back Issues may potentially cause weakened muscles; weak hamstring muscles are more prone to strain than stronger hamstring muscles.

ColdCure Technology® Treats Your
Hamstring Injury With the Best Therapy Available!

Do You Know About RICE ?

Chances are, you probably do! For at least the last century, doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and physical therapists have been trained to use the RICE formula immediately following a soft tissue injury. What is Rice? Rice stands for: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.

Did You Know RICE is WRONG ?

No, I suspect this is probably new information to you! My point (that I will soon explain) is that RICE is wrong, but nearly right. The truth is that ice is too cold to be the optimal method for treating a soft tissue leg injury. We don't want to apply ice... we want to apply persistent cold that is not below freezing.

ICE BURNS    ....    but COLD CURES!

Applying ice to the skin is not such a good thing after all. Sure, you want cold temperatures on your hamstring muscle injury - but not so cold that it is below the freezing point of water (and skin). The problem with ice (and the common modern day ice pack) is that it can freeze the skin. This freezing of the skin is often called a "cold burn"; in the medical industry this is referred to as "cryoburn". Ice can be even more dangerous if it is used often enough that nerves are numbed and you don't feel the permanent damage that you are doing to the soft tissue below your skin.

Stay Safe with the ColdCure Technology® Advantage
ColdCure Technology for long lasting cold that won't cause cryoburn.

You don't need to use ice or frozen ice packs that reach temperatures below freezing ... in fact, you shouldn't.

Ice pack 'burns' are so frequent and damaging there are law firms who specialize in ice pack injury cases. Don't let this happen to you!

With MendMeShop® Leg/Arm Freezie Wraps® you are completely safe and you will get all the relief from pain and swelling that you require.

This is the Heart of our ColdCure Technology® advantage - our Freezie Wraps® are uniquely made so that you can use our wraps effectively without the risk of cryoburn.

ColdCure Technology® Advantage #1:
Non-Migrating Gel

Our Freezie Wraps® use a special non-migrating gel that is soft to the touch but doesn't flow under pressure. It's not a solid and it's not a liquid either. It's something in between. This means that the gel stays in place over the hamstring muscles you are treating when pressure is applied and does not flow away to other parts of the wrap. This is very important. You want the pressure on the affected area. You also want the cold there too. And, you want it to be soft and comfortable because that area is hurt! With our specially formulated non-migrating soft gel, you get it all. In fact, our non-migrating gel works so well that it is common practice for many of our customers to wear their wraps all the time to work. They are just that comfortable!

ColdCure Technology® Advantage #2:
Massive Amounts of Non-Migrating Gel

If we were going to sell a proper cold compression wrap, we wanted to make sure we had enough gel in the wrap to do the job properly. This is a big problem! Nearly all cold wraps you will find on the market fall short in this area... and there are a LOT of poor cold wraps out there! Gel is heavy and a lot of gel is MUCH more expensive to make - and it is not cheap to ship either. This is why everyone makes pretty wraps with just a little bit of gel, and you know by now that's not good.

ColdCure Technology® Advantage #3:
Fridge Instead of Freezer!

Our Freezie Wraps® are designed for fridge use instead of freezer use and that should be as important to you as it is to us! As we have mentioned already, using ice (or wraps that charge up in the freezer) starts your treatment at a temperature that is too cold for your skin and too cold for your body to be optimally effective.

The difference between putting a regular ice pack on your injury versus a Freezie Wrap® pack is stunning! You get incredible cooling power for a long period of time that is not damaging and not painful on your skin. If you still want to charge the Freezie Wrap® in the freezer, know that the gel packs still remain flexible. Even if you charge them in the feezer, they definitely outperform everything else on the market, but we still recommend you start by using them at refrigerator temperatures. It really is the best choice for your health.

The results speak for themselves; you get better pain relief and better control of inflammation that adds up to you getting better... faster. Once you put our Freezie Wrap® on, you won't want to take it off - and you don't have to. That's the advantage of our ColdCure Technology®.


I Use the Freezie Wrap As Soon As I Get Home

Over the past eight months I have been suffering from shoulder and arm pain. I just kept thinking that the pain would go away on its own. When I reached the point where I was unable to raise my arm over my head without assistance and forget about putting my arm behind my back. I decided that a trip to the doctor was due. She determined that I had a soft tissue injury due to repetitive movement and heavy lifting.

She suggested that I try physical therapy. With my work schedule and family obligations I knew that was going to be very difficult and I wanted something that I could fit into my schedule. So I began doing research on the internet for alternative treatments and exercises.

That's when I found your product on the internet. I was somewhat skeptical as to rather it would perform as stated, but decided to give it a try. It was stated that it could take up to three weeks to feel results.

BUT I am here to say that for myself it has done better. I have been using the "Ultrasound" and the "Freeze Wrap" for a week and have already felt some improvement. I can now raise my arm to just about shoulder height unassisted, and can now almost get my finger tips back behind my back.

I use the "Ultrasound" first thing each morning and try to throw in a second treatment in the early evening if possible. I make a point of using "Freeze Wrap" as soon as I get home from work to relieve the stress to my muscles from work and to keep the inflammation down. Now that I have gotten some of the inflammation gone I intend to incorporate the "Inferno Wrap" treatment to my regiment to just before going bed to aid the healing process and aid in a better night's sleep.

Leg Pain Freezie Wrap for acute hamstring injury

How much better can Freezie Wrap® gel packs be? You will be amazed how something so simple can be made so much better. Our manufacturer has put in years of time and experimentation with many gel formulations. This is why there are many improvements in our wrap that we do not talk about. All the effort put into making this an outstanding product has culminated into many great ideas and patents that our manufacturer considers "trade secrets". To talk about these would mean we are giving away our efforts and research for free.

Many of the groundbreaking advancements of the Freezie Wrap® are patented while some other advancements are still going through the patent process. What you can be assured of is, however, that the Freezie Wrap® Leg Cold Compression Wrap with ColdCure Technology® is far superior to any other cold compression wrap in the market today.

The Best Hamstring / Leg Cold Compression Wrap
You Will EVER See!

 
How are fridge charged gel packs more effective?

Well, the answer is simple. Swelling and pain therapy doesn't require the temperature of your tissue to drop dramatically. In fact, a couple of degrees below your normal body temperature is all that's required - and what is safely recommended – for effective cold compression therapy. There just hasn't been a gel pack available that can be charged in the fridge AND stay cold enough throughout your entire treatment...until now!

Using ice or a freezer gel pack can do damage to your skin, and worse yet, numb your nerves so much that you can't even feel it doing the damage.

With the Leg Freezie Wrap®, you won't have to stop treatments after a few minutes because it's just too cold on your injured leg.

The gel pack inside every Leg Freezie Wrap®:

  • Is thick and chock-full of gel that does not squish away from where you need it, even under pressure.
  • Is cooled in the fridge to a 'body-friendly' temperature.
  • Stays soft, even when cold, for a mouldable and comfortable fit.
  • Stays cool longer so you get a complete treatment and lasting pain relief.
  • If you choose to freeze it (not something we advise) the gel does not freeze, but stays pliable.

...because when your leg really hurts,
you just don't want to take the cold off!

 

The premium compression wrap:

  • Has adjustable straps for a fit that you control to your personal level of comfort and compression.
  • Fits conveniently over or under clothes so you can wear it and carry on with your day - try doing this with a towel full of ice tied to your leg.
  • Is breathable enough for you to wear all day – with or without the gel pack.
  • Is made of premium, medical grade neoprene that won't stretch out of shape over time.
  • Acts as an insulator to help maintain the cooling power even longer.

ColdCure Technology® Reduces Tissue Damage
= Faster Healing

 

Not only is ColdCure Technology® the best way to treat pain, swelling and inflammation, ColdCure Technology® also reduces tissue damage when used immediately following a hamstring or leg injury, re-injury, post-operative, or after irritation from overuse occurs.

When you experience upper leg strain it becomes swollen and painful which means tissue has been damaged and fluid is leaking within the injured area. The swelling and inflammation starts to block blood vessels, eventually cutting off the oxygen supply to your cells. Once this happens, tissue cells begin to die.

When you put the Leg Freezie Wrap® cooling power around your leg, you reduce swelling and slow the cells biological need for more oxygen. You stop tissue damage in its tracks! And less damage means less pain and less healing required.

How a Freezie Wrap works

The Leg/Arm Freezie Wrap® is everything you need to relieve your hamstring pain and swelling - even following hamstring avulsion surgery! For post surgical use, please talk with your physician before starting a course of treatment.

Whether you have suffered an inflamed hamstring muscle, partial hamstring tear or even a quadricep strain; you need the Leg Freezie Wrap® and other premium products from MendMeShop.

Here's how it works. When your injury first occurs and your leg is swollen and painful (this is generally termed an acute leg injury), using a cold compression Freezie Wrap® will first calm the swelling in the area.

Once the swelling has started to subside you can begin ultrasound treatments to further reduce inflammation and clean out the injured area of damaged tissue and swelling. The Leg Inferno Wrap® promotes the blood flow necessary for your injured leg tendons and muscles or other soft tissue to heal. You can continue to use the Leg Freezie Wrap® to prevent the inflammation from returning, to control pain if you re-injure your hamstring or quadricep, and provide light support for the injury area.

Ultrasound therapy cleans the area and treats scar tissue, BFST® promotes blood flow and healing; the Leg Freezie Wrap® reduces pain and swelling. The combined result is truly amazing!

Like all of our products, Freezie Wraps® are the best quality product you will find anywhere. We guarantee our wraps with our 60 day money back guarantee. If for any reason you're not happy with any product you purchase in our shop, you can send it back for a full refund.

So, if you're really looking for the best therapy to treat your hamstring or quadricep injury, post-op pain or other leg injury - if you're looking to heal as fast as you possibly can - a cold compression Leg Freezie Wrap® with ColdCure Technology® is what you need.

Hamstring Injury Facts:

Hamstring Muscles cross both your hip and knee, and help extend (straighten) the hip or bend the knee.


A Hamstring injury is an injury to one of the three different hamstring muscles in the back of the thigh.


The three Hamstring muscles name are: Biceps Femoris, Semitendinousus, Semimembranosus muscles.


Continually using your Hamstring muscles while injured will lead to a worse injury; and yes, it is difficult to avoid using the Hamstring.


Most Hamstring injuries happen while playing sports, such as soccer or football.


Once you have suffered one Hamstring injury, there is a very good chance you will suffer another Hamstring injury.
