What are hot & cold packs used for?
Hot and cold packs are primarily used for managing pain. They offer a simple, effective way to apply heat or cold therapy, which may help alleviate pain and support recovery.
Additionally, hot and cold packs may help to manage muscle stiffness, particularly when used in alternating sequences. They may also help alleviate period pain. Some hot packs are used to provide body warmth in cold temperatures.
How do hot & cold packs work?
Hot and cold packs are therapeutic tools that use temperature to manage pain and swelling. Cold packs constrict blood vessels, decreasing blood flow. This may help reduce swelling and numb pain. Cold packs are often used immediately after an injury to help reduce bruising and swelling. On the other hand, hot packs work by dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the area. They help relax muscle fibres and may help reduce spasms and soothe pain or stiffness.
How do you use hot & cold packs?
Depending on the nature of the injury—acute or chronic—appropriate application of cold or hot packs can effectively support pain management and recovery. Cold packs are often beneficial in the initial 24 hours post-exercise, potentially helping to reduce swelling and numbing sore muscles. Hot packs may be used for pain relief within the first 48 hours, enhancing blood flow and relaxing muscle tissue. It’s best to consult your healthcare professional for advice on when to use heat and cold packs.
How long can you use hot & cold packs for?
A general recommendation is to use hot and cold packs for 20 minutes on, then 20 minutes off. However, it’s important to consult your healthcare professional for the best advice.
When soreness strikes, it’s nice to know you have everything on hand to feel better. Stock up on hot and cool packs when you browse the Healthylife range today.
