Heat Pack Instructions

Recommended Use

Heat therapy is best used on chronic pain or conditions. It allows the blood vessels to expand and muscles to relax. For example, apply heat to:

• Muscle pain or soreness
• Period pain
• Stiff joints
• Arthritis
• Old/recurring injuries

Cold/Ice therapy is best applied to an acute or new injury. Typically a sprain involves soft tissue damage and inflammation. Applying a cold pack restricts the blood vessels and reduces the swelling. Examples of injuries to apply cold therapy to are:

• Ankle or knee sprains
• Pulled muscles
• Red, hot or swollen body parts
• Acute pain after intense exercise
