Thought i would share this here having just got back from two sessions of physio today and now doing ice therapy for swelling.
This is a neat gadget i wish i had known of before way back. By accident through internet i found out about it and highly recommend it.
Its a unit made by a company called Breg. Called polar care.
Little cooler and for the lid the mounted a pump on the underside. You put water and ice inside then the unit pumps and circulates the ice cold water to a wrap that is made according to part of body you trying to treat.
You only do it for 10 min at a time because it can get real cold and u dont want to trigger body hyperthermia defense mechanism as that would only get u more swelling.
Can buy them online in a variety of places even on amazon.
Well worth the couple hundred investment.
I came up with using plastic drinking cups to make cylinders of ice to use in place of cubes.
Lasts a long time.
