Hot & Cold

Hot & Cold Packs: Cold and heat in one compress

Your neck starts to ache after eight hours in front of a screen. Your knee after a run and your back on a regular basis? Hot & Cold Packs are made for exactly those moments – reusable hot and cold compresses that cover both needs: cooling relief when an area is swollen and overheated. Soothing warmth when muscles feel tense and stiff. A classic cooling pad can only do one thing. Here, you decide – freezer or microwave. Instead of a rectangular pouch that you have to hold in place with your hand, each model wraps around the exact area of the body it is designed for. And it stays flexible, even when it comes straight from the cold.

Cooling or warming? How to use Hot & Cold Packs correctly

Both applications can be effective – just in different ways. Cold constricts the blood vessels, helps reduce swelling and slows the transmission of pain signals. Heat does the opposite: It dilates the blood vessels, reduces muscle tension and helps make the tissue more flexible again.

Cold application	Heat application
For swelling, bruises and sprains	For tension in the neck, shoulders and back
After intense physical activity and for sports injuries	For stiff muscles and joint discomfort
For reddened, overheated skin and itching	For warming up before training
For headaches in the forehead and neck area	For abdominal and menstrual pain

As a rule of thumb: acute, swollen and overheated symptoms call for cold. Tension, stiffness and longer-lasting discomfort are better suited to heat products. In the case of acute inflammation, it is better to avoid heat, as it can further stimulate the reaction.

Using gel packs cold or warm: how to do it

You are ready to go in just a few steps:

Prepare: For cold application, place the pack in the freezer or refrigerator for at least two hours. For heat application, warm it in the microwave for around 35 seconds at 800 watts – the leg model requires approximately 45 seconds.
Check the temperature: Briefly hold it against your forearm – this area is more sensitive than the actual treatment area.
Apply: Position the pack so that it fits closely around the treatment area.
Keep an eye on the time: Use for no more than 15 minutes at a time, then take a break. Repeat later if needed.

Good to know: Do not use on open wounds, irritated skin or areas with reduced sensation. If you have circulatory disorders, diabetes or reduced temperature sensitivity, consult a doctor before use. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice – a compress can provide relief, but it does not replace a diagnosis. Do not use pain-relieving gels, medical lotions, creams or ointments at the same time as the Hot & Cold Pack, as heat or cold may affect their action and increase the risk of skin irritation.
