Premium Gel Pack (for Relaxing Warmth or Ice Cold Pain Relief) with Compression Comfort StrapTM by Orange Physio is available in Hot & Cold Packs
What do I use it for? (An overview) It's an Ice Pack and a strap for acute injuries like sprains pulls and trapped nerves as well as long term pain relief.
It works by either hot therapy (heating up the gel pack in the microwave) or cold therapy (cooling it in the freezer) then placing on the painful area with some light compression using the strap provided.
The compression is possible because the strapping has a strong velcro attachment. You can wear it on the training field or back in the office when recovering.
Will it fit me? It's 14cm wide by 23cm long in the pouch that holds the gel pack, and 65cm long for the strap, making a total of 90cm or 35inches. This makes it a comfortable fit around all individual limbs and joints, such as Knee, Ankle, Shoulder, Hips, Wrist and Neck. It can be used to go around the back too.
How long does it take to heat up or to cool down? If you place the gel pack in the freezer, it takes around two hours to get to the optimum freezing point. It then lasts for around one hour when applied.
For heat treatment you can either place it in a pan of hot water or put it in the microwave to heat it up. The instructions are printed on the back of the strap - of course be careful not to place it in the microwave for too long or it will be too hot to touch!

If you've ever been told "you need to ice it" then this is the perfect remedy. It fits just about any body part, and does a great job of either icing your joint pain/bruises or heating it up. I was given the opportunity to write an impartial, honest review in exchange for a discount code for the strap, and you can see my thoughts below and in the video!
Cold Pack
When you suffer from any sort of trauma, like a sprain, overuse or a mild tear in a muscle then you're often told to use the R.I.C.E method of treatment. This stands for "Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation". These straps help you do all 4 at once, and as a Physio I really do recommend them to sports teams to have on the sidelines, or for home use to reduce swelling and inflammation.
In the video I'll wrap it around my ankle so you can see how it works. The general idea is that you strap it around the body part that has suffered...

After suffering a knee injury with swelling, cold packs have been incredibly important to me. I cannot take anti-inflammatory medication due to existing medical problems and cold packs offer a completely natural way of getting swelling down, reducing pain and increasing healing time. This product froze quickly and stayed frozen for longer than needed. I usually apply short bursts of around 15 minutes of cold to reduce swelling - but this stayed frozen for an hour and a half. Far better than using a bag of frozen peas!
I also suffer from back ache, and frequently use the stick-on heat patches (Voltarol or supermarket own) to provide targeted heat. This seems like it will be a much easier way to provide heat when strapped around my back.
The pack itself is removable from the sleeve, and you place it in the microwave or the freezer as needed. Then you place it back into the sleeve, where you are protected from it touching the skin. The sleeve is soft and comfortable...
