What is an ice bag?
An ice bag is a handy injury aid that is small enough to fit into any gym bag or first aid kit. Ideal for on-site injuries and direct response, the ice bag allows the user to treat acute or chronic pain and assists in the reduction of pain and swelling during the early stages of injury.
How does it work?
The ice bag is directly filled with either ice cubes, crushed ice or ice water and applied directly onto the wound to reduce pain and swelling. The fabric bag is reusable and moulds to the skin allowing it to be used on moth body parts including the shoulder, elbow, hip, lower back, thigh, knee, calf and ankle.
Understanding cooling therapy:
The practice of using a cooling pack or patch to reduce pain and aid recovery is also known as cryotherapy. Physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals recommend cooling therapy as part of the RICE protocol in the event of trauma or injury to a muscle. It stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation:
Rest - the muscle should be rested to prevent further strain or injury
Ice - the muscle should be cooled as quickly as possible with cool therapy applied for at least 20 minutes at a time
Compression - an elastic compression bandage should be applied to the injury to prevent additional swelling and blood loss
Elevation - the affected muscle should be raised above the level of your heart to minimise swelling
