Hot and cold therapy packs are used to support comfort and recovery for a range of minor sprains, strains and muscle soreness when used as advised by a health professional. Heat can help relax tight muscles and ease general stiffness, while cold can help reduce heat and discomfort after an acute soft tissue injury.
At Statewide Home Health Care, our hot and cold therapy range may include reusable gel packs, combination hot/cold packs, wheat or grain-filled heat packs and shaped wraps for specific body areas. These products are often used alongside treatment from a physiotherapist, GP or other allied health professional as part of a broader pain and injury management plan.
Disclaimer
Always consult your GP, physiotherapist or other allied health professional for personalised advice before using hot or cold therapy, especially if you have reduced sensation, circulation problems, diabetes or a known medical condition. Hot and cold packs should not replace proper diagnosis or medical treatment.
