Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use cold therapy vs heat therapy?

Cold therapy (ice): Use in the first 24–72 hours after an acute injury (sprain, strain, bruise) — reduces swelling, inflammation, and acute pain. Cold constricts blood vessels, reduces fluid leakage into tissues, and numbs acute pain. Heat therapy: Use for chronic muscle soreness, stiffness, tension headaches, menstrual cramps, and arthritis — heat increases blood flow, relaxes muscle spasm, and reduces chronic pain. Do not apply heat to acute injuries in the first 48 hours.

How do I use the Bodichek pack as a cold pack?

Place in the freezer for at least 1–2 hours (or store in the freezer for ready-to-use access). Always wrap in a thin cloth or protective cover before applying to skin — never apply a frozen pack directly to bare skin as this can cause frostbite. Apply for 15–20 minutes, then remove for at least 1 hour before reapplying.

How do I use the Bodichek pack as a heat pack?

Microwave on full power in 30-second increments, checking temperature between each interval, until comfortably warm — typically 1–2 minutes total depending on microwave wattage. Test temperature on your wrist before applying to the injured area. Always wrap in a protective cover — apply for 15–20 minutes at a time.

How long does cold therapy last per application?

A properly frozen gel pack maintains therapeutic cold temperature for approximately 15–30 minutes — which is the recommended application duration. The gel formula stays flexible even when frozen, allowing it to conform to body contours throughout the application.

Can the Bodichek pack be used without a cover?

Never apply a frozen pack directly to bare skin — this risks frostbite and skin burns. Always use a protective layer such as a thin towel, gel pack cover, or purpose-made ice pack wrap. For heat therapy, similarly always wrap to prevent heat burns to the skin.
