Apply heat therapy for 15-20 minutes several times a day to ease muscle stiffness or chronic pain, but avoid extended use to prevent burns or overheating.

It is recommended to use a cloth or towel between the pack and your skin to prevent frostbite or burns, especially when the gel pack is extremely hot or cold.

Gel packs typically stay cold or hot for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the temperature of the environment and the area being treated.

Hot and cold gel packs are reusable and can be used as often as needed, as long as they remain intact and the instructions for use are followed.

This gel pack is used to apply heat therapy or thermotherapy for pain relief. Heated gel packs can also be beneficial to those with arthritis and stiff muscles as well as for deep tissue injuries.

Ice packs will help to numb the pain and prevent muscle spasms. By lowering the temperature of the injured area, the cellular processes are reduced which can help to minimize soft tissue damages.
