People suffering from mild and acute knee pain try all sorts of things to get some relief. A new product by the name: Easy Ice Knee Pain Relieving Cold Hot Therapy Pack, is new knee pain reliever product that works by providing long duration hot and cold therapy.
The product comes with a gel sheet. There are many knee pain therapy packs that comes with gel packs. Where Easy Ice Gel Pack is different from other products, is that its gel sheet is made up of small cellular packs. Normal gel packs are usually single pouch. Due to its cellular nature it provides hot and cold therapies for longer duration at constant temperature thus having excellent effect on muscle tissues. It results in faster recovery. To use the product one has to either soak the dry gel sheet in water and then, depending on what type of therapy one is interested in, either freeze it or heat it in microwave oven or boiled water, and apply the pack on affected area.
The manufacturer of Easy Ice Knee Pain Relieving Cold Hot Therapy Pack claims that there product is safe, non-toxic, washable, strong, and multipurpose, and obviously great for getting relief knee pain and swelling.
Is it really so? Lets check it out.
The product is a sort of belt. It fitted well on various types and sizes of knees. Exact size is 25 cm by 18 cm. We found that the user was able to walk without any difficulty. So far so good. But does it really serve the purpose?
Using the product is bit messy, one has to say. If you don't do it properly it won't work at all. We needed to really immerse one of the gel sheet pack's in water. If you don't do this stuff properly, the cubes won't swell up as desired. Using this product requires bit of patience too. If you want to apply cold therapy on knee, make sure that the pack gets cold enough. For warm therapy make it sufficiently hot. We found it bit difficult to determine first up what is the right temperature up to which the pack should be heated. You will need to experiment a bit, then apply it, and then find out if it works for you, or not.
While the strapping around the knee will definitely help you get moving. Although one has to say, first up, is more due to numbness that happens due to lack of blood circulation as a result of tying up of belt rather than the affect of the product. We find that you will need to use the product for at least 2 weeks, in case of mild knee pains, to get a bit of relief.
We won't say that product is best out there. It is a sort of average stuff.
