Hilotherapy is an injury treatment that reduces swelling, pain, and bruising by circulating cool water through adaptable cuffs that comfortably fit most parts of the body and face, avoiding the risk of nerve and tissue damage by using controlled temperatures.
The new WBA heavyweight champion appears barely bruised just days after a gruelling fight where he defeated 7-foot-tall 'Beast from the East' Nikolai Valuev, thanks to a new healing technology which helps him recuperate from injuries and which has been hailed by some of the world's top plastic surgeons as the ideal solution for their facelift and breast augmentation patients.
Physiotherapist Kevin Lidlow introduced the boxer to Hilotherapy. The technology has been widely used by top athletes and professional sports clubs around Europe including Bundesliga teams 1899 Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich and Hannover 96.
Hilotherapy can be used all over the body: anywhere where swelling, pain and haematoma are present or need to be prevented. The adaptable cuffs can be set at the exact required temperature.
