Title:	A Brief History of Thermoskin
Description:	Thermoskin was established in Austrailia in 1985 and were designed as the first supports which retained body heat and used it to help speed up recovery time. Thermoskin are pioneers in orthapeadic soft products and they have a first class depth of knowledge and technical understanding that has allowed them to design and create innovative supports to remedy sore muscles, ligaments and sports injuries. Thanks to Thermoskin building relationships with medical partners they have been able to develop a thorough insight into the huge range of individuals who need and use the supports and they have recognised that it is not just people who suffer from arthritis and sports injuries but people who need added support when walking or gardening. Thermoskin are fully committed to designing and manufacturing functional products which meet high standards. Thermoskin understand exactly what is needed to allow the wearer to lead an active life whilst giving them much needed comfort through their innovative designs. Since their launch, Thermoskin has been used by the Australian Olmypic team and they have provided their supports to the medical division. Thermoskin is now part of the Physiotherapy Research Foundation and they give research grants for studies and research into arthritic and sports injuries and sprains. Thermoskin ankle supports feature an extremely supportive outer layer together with an exclusive Trixon inner layer to create an innovative support. Trixon captures and retains body heat which then increases the blood circulation and increases the skin temperature by up to 2 degrees which in turn encourages a quicker recovery time. Thermoskin ankle supports not only retain body heat but the Trixon layer also provides ventilation and controls the level of perspiration to give long lasting comfort so the benefits of Thermoskin can be felt for longer. The fibres used in the manufacturing of Thermoskin ankle supports are crush resistant meaning that they have greater strength and durability than other supports so they can perform for longer. Thermoskin ankle supports have been developed to provide simple and effective relief from pain and injuries of muscles, tendons and ligaments. Using their superior support alongside body heat, Thermoskin offers both relief from injuries and improved mobility without having to use painkillers or drugs. Thermoskin ankle supports include the Plantar Fasciitis Extensor which is a soft splint that has been purposefully designed for people who suffer from plantar fasciitis. The Plantar Fasciitis Extensor has a rigid Velcro strap to pull the toes up and stretch the Plantar Fascia while the thermal properties of the Trixon layer helps to reduce any swelling to encourage and aid the recovery from plantar fasciitis. The Thermoskin range also includes the ankle/foot gauntlet which has been specifically designed to give relief from diabetic neuropathy, Raynaud�s disease and any arthritic pain in the foot and ankle. The Thermoskin ankle/foot gauntle has a Velcro strap for easy adjustability and a non slip sole for added stability. So if you have any foot or ankle pain there is sure to be Thermoskin ankle supports which will help to support and aide recovery.
