Heat/Cold Pack - Single Shoulder

The Pelican Heat/Cold Pack - Single Shoulder is filled with lupin seeds which effectively retain both heat or cold. They are lightweight with a low odour after heating, compared to wheat. Heat therapy may help relieve aches and stiffness, while cold therapy may help ease swelling and pain. Both heat and cold therapies may help ease symptoms of arthritis.

Key Features

• Heat Pack: For muscle pain or stiffness. Heat therapy dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow, delivering nutrients and oxygen to promote healing.
• Cold Pack: For acute injuries, such as sprains (within 2-3 days). Cold therapy constricts blood vessels, reducing blood flow and swelling.
• Microwave Safe: Follow Australian Standard (AS/NZS 5116:2016) for safe heating.

Additional Information

Some people may use the Pack for cold therapy to reduce swelling, then after a day or two, use it for heat therapy to relax their muscles. Always wear clothing between your bare skin and the Heat/Cold Pack to create a barrier to help prevent burns or frostbite and to keep the Pack clean from things like sweat, moisturiser, etc.
