FAQ

What is hot and cold therapy used for?

Hot and cold therapy is commonly used to help relieve muscle tension, joint stiffness and everyday aches. Heat therapy helps relax tight muscles and improve circulation, while cold therapy can help calm inflammation and numb discomfort after activity or minor injury.

How does hot and cold therapy work for pain relief?

Hot and cold therapy works by using two different therapeutic effects. Heat helps relax muscles, increase blood flow and reduce stiffness, while cold therapy helps reduce inflammation and numb sharp discomfort. Alternating between the two can be helpful for muscle strains, joint pain and general recovery after activity.

When should I use heat therapy vs cold therapy?

Cold therapy is usually best immediately after an injury to help reduce swelling and inflammation. Heat therapy is more helpful after the initial inflammation settles, as it relaxes muscles, improves flexibility and promotes circulation.

How often should I use hot and cold therapy for chronic pain?

Cold therapy is typically applied for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours, particularly after activity or when inflammation is present. Heat therapy can usually be used for up to 30 minutes at a time, several times a day to relax muscles and ease stiffness. Always follow product instructions and consult a healthcare professional if unsure.

Are lupin heat packs better than wheat heat packs?

Many people prefer lupin heat packs because the grains hold heat longer than wheat, providing longer-lasting warmth. Lupins are also naturally low allergen, odour-free and moisture resistant, making them a popular choice for reusable heat therapy.
