Hot cold treatment
Most soft-tissue injuries follow the same pattern: ice in the first hours after a sprain, then heat once the muscle stiffens. Hot and cold therapy covers both ends of that recovery, from instant cold packs for acute swelling through to reusable heat packs and warming rubs for ongoing tightness.
Matching the pack to the injury
The choice comes down to timing and how the pack stays in place. Instant ice packs activate on impact for sideline and glovebox use where there's no freezer. Reusable gel packs go hot or cold and sit against the skin under a sleeve. Cold compression systems like the OrthoCool wrap the joint and pair cooling with adjustable pressure, which suits post-surgical recovery and serious joint injuries.
FAD stocks single-use and reusable packs alongside topical heat products such as Deep Heat Patches, so you can match the format to the injury rather than the shelf. The Instant Ice Pack and Hot Cold Pack Sleeve cover the everyday cases.
For which injuries respond to ice, heat, or both, see our managing common sports injuries guide and the wider injury guidance hub. Topical recovery creams and oils sit in our massage supplies range. Call the FAD team on 03 5443 2239 if you're weighing cold compression against a standard gel pack.
Always read the instructions for use.
