Ice therapy (also known as cryotherapy or cold therapy) is essential in the treatment of injuries such as muscle strains, ligament sprains or swelling and bruising as a result of a fall or impact. Ice therapy is used in the early (acute) stage of an injury to reduce blood flow to the site of injury and relieve pain, prevent swelling, cool tissue temperature and prevent further tissue damage.
Reusable ice packs and wraps, cold therapy packs and instant ice packs can all be used to deliver ice therapy. Ice helps to control pain and swelling effectively and it is most beneficial to apply immediately after an injury. When you suffer an injury away from your home, where conventional ice packs are not practical, single-use Instant Ice Packs are the ideal treatment.
Instant ice packs are activated by squeezing or twisting the pack to mix the chemicals contained inside, which produces an instant cooling effect. In the home, an ice wrap (a wheat-filled fabric bag) or an ice bag can be stored in the freezer to deliver ice therapy for the immediate relief of muscle injuries, joint injury, sprains and bruises. However, the most effective cold therapy is delivered by patented systems that incorporate an elevated tank of ice cooled water that flows down to the injury for a period of up to six hours. These continuous cooling devices are supplied with cuffs or sleeves that are designed to fit specific joints or muscles in order to deliver compression and cooling quickly and efficiently to an injured area.
Ice therapy is a great first aid treatment for a sprained ankles, strained muscles, knocks or falls, and for pain relief following surgery. Instant ice packs are vital for the acute treatment of sprains, strains and bruises when there is no freeze or ice available; These are essential for any first aid kit or pitch side physio bag.

By controlling pain and swelling, these ice therapy products can speed up sports injury and knee surgery rehabilitation. And because they're 'instant', you don't have to access a fridge or freezer, as they don't need ice because they work from a chemical reaction once you twist the pack to mix the ingredients.
Our fabric ice bags are the classic method of applying cold therapy. Ice cubes or crushed ice are placed inside the bag and the fabric is moistened with cold water.
