What do you get when you cross a therapeutic product and a fashionable garment?

A fashion statement that helps manage back pain and discomfort!

One of Rehabmart’s newest vendors, Spand-Ice, offers a way to use either heat or cold therapy for a sore back while still being active, and look good at the same time. When it comes to finding ways to diminish back pain while still continuing with daily activities, necessity is the mother of invention.

Thinking of movement with therapy, the folks at Spand-Ice combined a midge of neoprene, a handful of spandex, and a pinch of mesh material, then put them all together. After doing countless trial periods until everything was perfect, the results are indeed impressive. A form-fitting athletic garment designed precisely for people who want cold and hot therapy that still allows them to be active and ‘on-the-go’ was created. Spand-Ice has proven that innovation and effectiveness with style is the new way to enjoy therapy while looking good at the office, in the garden, or at the gym.

The Spand-Ice Revive Tank top can offer a solution for those individuals who need to take care of themselves and take care of business at the same time. Made with a combination of spandex, neoprene and mesh, this form-fitting garment has two pockets located on the inside, or the side against the wearer, that will holds specialized Spand-Ice Hot and Cold Compress Therapy Packs.

Weighing in at approximately 15 ounces, the packs can be frozen before installing them into the garment to numb pain and to help reduce inflammation of aching back muscles. Or, to increase blood circulation to help relax those tight back muscles by just microwaving the packs before putting them in the Spand-Ice Revive Tank top garment. Once the packs are in place and the garment is zipped-up, the user can now continue on with the usual daily activities around the house, office or gym in comfort.

The tank top can be worn as an outer-garment while doing yard work or puttering around the home, or it could be worn under a shirt and jacket while working at the office or walking along a work site. The fitted, sporty look of the vest hides two inner pockets that are located specifically to target the middle and lower areas of the back’s thoracic to the sacral region, and the T6 through S2 vertebras of the spine and surrounding muscles.

When a chilled or heated therapy pack is placed within the pockets of the vest and the vest is zipped up, the heat/cold packs will be comfortably compressed at the place on the back where they are needed. So instead of laying on the sofa with various heating pads or ice packs slipping and sliding around the user’s body, never seeming to be in the right place that is in need of help, the user can use the Revive Tank top and continue to complete errands or tasks around the home or office, all the while enjoying heat or cold therapy.

The Spand-Ice Revive Tank top is also useful for those individuals who would like to use heat or cold therapy on their back prior to, or during exercising. One good reason to use the tank top before, during, or after exercise is that according to the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), which is the standard of measure for perceived pain and discomfort levels, preliminary studies of many Revive Tank top wearers over a two week period show an average decrease of 12 scale points on the index.

When wearing something that combines comfort and stylish looks with therapeutic results, the Spand-Ice Revive Tank Top should be able to accomplish certain criteria to be fully enjoyed by the user, such as:

EASY TO USE, ADJUST AND IS COMFORTABLY DEPENDABLE
- To use the Revive Tank top is as easy and comfortable as putting on a shirt. Offered in sizes S to XXL, the Revive Tank top is made with lightweight and breathable materials that are utilized for maximum comfort and therapeutic results. This injury recovery clothing is designed to target low and mid-back pain and discomfort with an adjustable heat/cold therapy compression garment that allows maximum contact and comfort.

SAFE FOR ‘ON-THE-GO’ THERAPY
- The Revive Tank top has special insulated fabrics that are able to handle the extreme cold/hot temperatures, allowing the reusable packs to provide up to three hours of therapy, while not harming or burning the user’s skin. Used either over or under clothing, the user can continue to live an active life while at the same time receiving safe hot or cold therapy during the day or night.

DURABLE
- Designed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and made in the USA, the lightweight materials of the Revive Tank top can withstand years of repeated machine washings.

February has Rehabmart offering the new Spand-Ice Revive Tank top to help its customers to push harder and recover more quickly during and after exercise, so they can perform at their best every time without pain and discomfort while at home, outside in the yard, at the store, sitting at a desk in the office, or walking along the work site. Spand-Ice is proven to be a long-lasting and safe addition to any injury recovery plan of the lower to mid-back, especially after shoveling the sidewalk and driveway of snow from the latest winter blizzard rumbling through the frozen February landscape.
