Recovery is an essential part of exercise since it allows your muscles and ligaments to repair and get stronger. There are many tools available which can help to speed up the recovery process and to quickly ease the pain and soreness often experienced following exercise. Hot and cold therapies are a popular choice. They are designed to offer soothing relief from pain, discomfort and swelling. There are a variety of hot and cold packs available to suit different areas of the body which may be affected. Our Therapearl range includes hot and cold packs for the knee, neck, shin, back, ankle, wrist and face specifically, and you can also get a Therapearl hot and cold sports pack which you can use universally on a number of areas. These packs are all reusable, can be either heated or frozen and can quickly ease pain or discomfort. They can also be used for menstrual pain. The hot therapy is ideal for easing joint stiffness, muscle aches, pain and soreness. Cold therapy is perfect for inflammation, bruising, sprains and strains. They are easy to heat in the microwave or can be frozen in the freezer and are comfortable to use as they conform perfectly to your body.
