1

 There is thermographic and serum chemistry evidence that the therapy provided by the Thermotex™ therapy blanket is efficacious.
2 The lowering of both the AST and CK levels indicates that treatment with the Thermotex™ therapy blanket alleviates the inflammatory response within the muscles of the standardbred racehorses that are in training.
3 Thermographic evidence provides evidence of a decrease within the inflammatory response and some analgesia when the Thermotex™ therapy blanket is used on a daily basis on the standardbred racehorse.
4 This evidence concludes that the Thermotex™ therapy blanket is an ideal drug free modality to use before competition, as a therapy program in itself, as an adjunct to
