Sellers' description;
This pack opens out to cover the whole back giving gentle warming heat over a large area. Excellent for long car journeys.
To use for heat;
Place the WHEATeeze Pack in a microwave oven on a high setting, observe times: Heating times can be varied to suit personal comfort and levels of warmth required. Full Back Pack 4-5 minutes
To use for cold;
Insert the pack into the supplied plastic bag and place in the freezer for 3-4 hours. It is recommended to keep a pack in the freezer in this way to enable immediate treatment of an injury thus facilitating initial healing and shortening the time to total recovery. Apply a WHEATeeze Pack straight from the freezer to the injured area, only after a time lapse of 24 hours, apply a warmed WHEATeeze Pack to assist the healing process.
The WHEATeeze Pack is an effective means of relieving pain;
Mild heat has a sedative effect on the nerve endings. Pain may also be caused by the accumulation in the tissues of waste products of metabolism and the increased blood flow through the affected area helps remove these products and so relieve pain.
Muscles relax most readily when the tissues are warm, and the relief of pain also facilitates relaxation. The WHEATeeze Pack is therefore of great value in helping to achieve muscle relaxation and so relieve muscle spasm associated with injury or inflammation.
Increasing the blood flow to an injured area will increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients available to the tissues and help bring about an early resolution of the condition.
Heat should not be applied within 24 hours of any injury as this will increase the bleeding within the tissues. In such cases it is recommended to apply the WHEATeeze Pack straight from the freezer. Applying the WHEATeeze Pack in this way, as a cold compress (Cryotherapy), constricts the blood vessels and reduces bleeding within the tissues thus facilitating initial healing.
