How do cold gels work on our joints and muscles?
Cold gels work by reducing local blood circulation through vasoconstriction, which helps reduce inflammation and relieve acute pain. By applying the gel, the cold sensation quickly penetrates the tissues , providing immediate relief from muscle or joint tension , and limiting the spread of lesions, especially after intense exercise or injury.
Soothe pain and reduce knocks and shocks
The GSIL cold effect is particularly effective in acting on pain as well as blows and shocks . By lowering the
tissue temperature, they reduce swelling and heat generated by
inflammation, thus providing immediate relief . This effect is ideal for soothing muscle and joint pain, or recent injuries such as sprains, strains, or blows .
Post-exercise recovery and injury prevention
The GSIL cold effect is effective in speeding up recovery after intense exercise , particularly by reducing muscle tension and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). These sorenesses occur 12 to 48 hours after exercise and are caused by micro-tears in the muscles. By reducing inflammation and swelling, it promotes a rapid return to normal, reduces soreness and protects muscles from potential injuries.
