The heat packs are available in two sizes, Small and Large for different areas of the body. Click Here for 'Where Do You Hurt?'

The Packs may be heated in a microwave and applied to areas of stiff muscle or frozen in a freezer and be carefully applied after injury to areas of swelling or soreness.

When heated, the packs maintain an even temperature and the moist heat is slowly released over approximately 20 minutes. 

To freeze simply remove the slipcover and place the pack in a plastic bag in the freezer until cold to the touch. The pack maintains flexibilty even when frozen.

Contrast bathing – alternating between several minutes of hot and then cold and then hot again, can be useful to stimulate blood flow in stiff muscles.
