Lifecare Frankston –  Ice Packs

Ice Packs

Made from a gel formation which is designed to mould around your area of pain, ice packs are an integral part of acute injury management.  Icing can assist your recovery by minimising swelling and inflammation. Ice assists your recovery by decreasing blood flow by constricting you capillaries (Vasoconstriction). In doing so, this decreases the pressure in the area which allows for the healing process to begin.

Ice packs are great to use in the first 72 hours for injuries such as;

• Muscle strains
  
• Joint sprains
• Muscle contusions
• Muscle spasms
• Bone contusions
• Areas of swelling and inflammation

Ice Packs $12

If you have sustained an acute injury we recommend you book in to see one of our physiotherapists to assist with your acute management and put in place a rehabilitation program.
