The multipurpose Body Ache Gel Pad is effective for aches and stiffness,arthritis, sport injuries,post-surgical conditions and menstrual discomfort.

This reusable Hot or Cold Gel Pad gives hot therapy for aches and stiffness and cold therapy for pain and swelling.

Hot fomentation is useful to ease stiffness and relieves muscle pain caused by fatigue. It restores the muscle elasticity and increases the blood circulation to the affected area.

Cold fomentation produces vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) which slows blood circulation thereby decreasing inflammation, swelling and pain. It is also useful to reduce swelling from muscle injuries, sports injuries, joints in arthritis and sprains.
