How to use

For cold therapy, place the removable cooling insert in a freezer according to the manufacturer’s instructions until chilled, then position the insert inside the bandage and fasten the wrap around the torso to cover the affected area. For heat therapy, warm the removable heating element following the provided heating instructions, insert it into the bandage, and secure the wrap so the heat is centered on the lower or mid back. Wear the bandage for the recommended duration provided by the manufacturer, remove for skin checks between sessions, and allow the reusable elements to return to room temperature or be refrozen as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use cold therapy within the first 48 hours after an acute injury to reduce swelling and numb pain; switch to heat therapy for chronic tension or muscle stiffness to improve circulation and flexibility. Avoid prolonged direct contact with heated or frozen elements against bare skin — place the elements into the bandage and monitor skin condition. Consult a healthcare professional if pain persists or if you have circulation issues, diabetes, or sensory impairments before using thermal therapy products.
