Elasto-Gel Ice and Hot Wrap for Foot/Ankle Pain Treatment

I can't imagine my life without this now. I brought this last year, I have an ankle full of metal plates and screws, in the winter if they freeze my whole leg gets soo cold it takes hours to warm up again but now I chuck this in the microwave for 35 seconds each side and my ankle feels better in no time, same in the summer when the metal heats up, I grab it out the freezer and cool my ankle down instantly

We call it my ice boot, and I wear it while watching the news every night after exercising (I have osteoarthritis in my ankles). I haven't tried it hot- I use a hot water bottle for that, especially when I do 10 minutes hot, 10 minutes cold as recommended by the physio.

Bought for my husband following ankle replacement surgery. Absolutely brilliant! Wraps round the whole ankle for him, and he can put it on easily himself no fiddly separate ice packs to deal with! Can't recommend it highly enough, the best find this year!

Speedy delivery... thank you! Have not used it as a "cold therapy". Certainly does the trick although I did find it a little awkward to fit. Has most definitely helped my peroneal tendonitis.

Ive had foot injury for 7 months straight away I felt the benefits would highly recommend

Nice and comfortable, over priced

thank u

「かかとを冷やすのが難しい」と言っていた抗がん剤治療を受ける友人に、両足分プレゼントしました。お世辞で言ってくれたのかもしれませんが、かかとががっちり冷やせる、看護師さんも見てびっくりしていた、とのことでした。本当は足先まですっぽり包めるものが欲しかったのですが、足先は他のものでも代用できそうなので、まぁこれでよかったのかな、と思っています。

I am very pleased with this product. I purchased two based on a positive experience with the eye mask made by the same manufacturer. I have weak ankles and sprains occur. I bought these to keep in the freezer to be ready to go for even a minor twist. The cold lasts about 20 minutes, which is perfect (too much cold for too long actually damages tissue). With two, I can treat with cold for 20 minutes and then again after an hour immediately after injury occurs. I can alternate with the two for several hours. Later on, I will be able to alternate hot and cold treatment by leaving one out to microwave. This will be particularly useful to warm it up prior to exercises and cool it down afterwards. In the meantime, I have another use for them. I have some circulation issues, which means that my feet get cold in the winter and hot in the summer. This affects my ability to fall asleep. Socks work in the winter, but cooling off in the summer is more difficult. Even running cool water over them does not last. Now, when my feet feel really hot, I put these on until they come to room temperature. This cools my feet enough that it lasts for quite a while and I am able to go to sleep. This works also when my feet and ankles swell after being on my feet for a few hours in the kitchen. I sit down with my feet up wrapped in these, the eye mask on, and enjoy a drink before eating dinner.

This is the most effective genuis way to ice an ankle. Unfortunately I have had several fractures and using ice had always been uncomfortable. Its either too hard, doesn't fit or conform to the affected area right, fall off the area, leaks, pinholes somehow sometimes are on the outside, strings that come loose or it falls after tied, too big, too small, or takes up too much space in the freezer. So many different types of ice packs that just dont work for me. This one is perfect. It freezes quickly so you can use it several times throughout the day. Takes very little freezer space because it lays flat. VERY soft, great fit for any size foot, long enough strap to wrap around, freezes quick, lasts 30+ min for me, cold enough to feel & do the job but not freeze your foot where you want to remove it earlier than what you need. Fits well above your ankle as well You can even use it on your elbow if you get creative with the strap. It feels so good and is very comfortable you can move around the couch or wherever you are sitting, laying, the strap holds great. You can put it in the microwave as well if you need a heat instead of ice. Be sure to keep it in the plastic bag it comes in when you freeze it. Its a sturdy plastic ziploc type of bag. I will be getting another one for my other foot.

I just got this yesterday and WOW! I'm buying another for my other foot today. I have chronic plantar fasciitis which has been nothing but debilitating. I must use Phiten kinesthetic athletic tape on my feet just to be able to walk, the normal kinesthetic tape isn't effective as it doesn't have the titanium weaved into the fabric to aid in muscle tension relief. I use balls with deep pressure to break up the scar tissue, I have used heating pads, ice packs, splints, compression socks, 3 different ankle braces, I hang from steps multiple times a day for minutes at a time and nothing has given me the immediate relief which this has. I heated it up twice in the microwave and slept in it. It does not advise this but I was extremely tired and the brace is very comfortable and squishy. My foot was kept in an upright position (nearly flexed fully without a lot of tension) and warm. When I woke up my foot wasn't sore from being in the brace all night, not circulation was cut off and I was still very comfortable. Then came the dreaded start of the day... I had to take that first step and walk on my feet. My feet hurt ALL the time, not just the morning. I carefully stepped out of bed and stood trying to get my feet ready to take another step. The one foot I had in the wrap felt incredibly better than the other. I was able to walk with a more normal gate than usual for morning time. If I see that much of a change in one night, I'm sold! The pain is excruciating leading to a sedentary lifestyle, one of which I don't welcome. As heat promotes the blood flow to the scarred ligament and the wrap simply keeps it warmer than the rest of your body with the heavy gel material swaddling your foot, I truly believe this will promote healing and I may get to a normal life within a year. This would also be very helpful for achilles tendinitis as ligaments naturally get less blood flow and take much longer to heal.
