摘要:
Disclosed herein are dual temperature, dual reservoir devices for providing contrast therapy. An example device has separate liquid heating and cooling systems, each of which have their own designated liquid reservoir. In some embodiments, each system is served by its own dedicated energy source, and has its own water flow circuit that is equipped with pressure relief valves and check valves. Some exemplary systems also include electronically controlled three way valves that ensure that either heated liquid or cooled liquid is flowing to and from the therapy pad at any given time, but never simultaneously. This allows for nearly instantaneous switching between the cooling and heating functions. Certain embodiments of the contrast therapy devices disclosed herein also have programmable features that enable a user to adjust certain variables of the therapy, or allow for a personalized therapy regimen to be developed.
