Collection: Hot Water Bottles for Sports and Other Injuries

For New Injuries: If you've recently incurred an injury that's red, inflamed, or sensitive, cold therapy is recommended. Using ice or cold treatments right after exercise can reduce inflammation, hence the popular practice of athletes taking ice baths post-activity.

For Chronic Injuries: Before exercise, apply warm heat to ongoing injuries. However, refrain from doing so afterward as it might exacerbate the pain. A microwave neck warmer might be beneficial depending on the injury type. Always ensure the heat pack is warm but not too hot, wrapping it in a towel if necessary. Direct contact with ice can cause cold burns, so always use with caution. If any discomfort arises from our products, cease usage immediately.
