ActiveWrap Heat Ice Therapy Wrap for Back (Large / XL) - Reduces Lower Back Pain, Swelling, and Back Stiffness - Hot / Cold Gel Pack Included

Works equally well hot or cold. Fits snugly under a sweater and is not noticeable when out. Nice helpful product.

These are the perfect wraps for sport injuries, recovering from surgeries and just occasional aches and pains - I now own ones for wrist, elbow, knee, back & hip. First instead of having to store a big wrap in your freezer you need only to put the inserts in to the freezer which saves a ton of space. I'm able to store 4 small (hand/wrist and elbow), 3 medium (knee and back) and one large (hip) in the space of about one large wrap. Second these remain very pliable which helps in forming a nice, comfortable cold area - yet the exterior seems quite sturdy to prevent tears or leaks. Third, the high quality neoprene wraps are comfortable and make it easy to secure to what ever body part you need to treat. Fourth, because you slip the insert into a sleeve in the neoprene wrap, you don't need to bother with a towel or anything else between the cold insert and your skin - the insert offers just enough so that the cold isn't painful but not so much that you can't feel the cold. I'm using one right now on my elbow. Haven't used them for heat yet but I expect them to be just as good for warmth as they are for cold.

I like this wrap but be warned, if you order the small, it is very small, I'm 5'2", petite and it just fits. Nice shape to it though so it holds the gel pack better than most of those floppy wraps out there.

In anticipation of an upcoming orthopedic procedure, I was recommended by a family member to try these after their very positive experience using them with a recent hip surgery. There isn't a wrap tailored to exactly what I needed, but I was able to contact the ActiveWrap team ahead of time to consult on an existing wrap that could be easily adapted. Not only did they have a recommendation, they sent me a picture of how to position the wrap to my foot, which I found super helpful -- many many thanks to the team for that, it was exactly what I needed! I ordered the wrap plus the 2+hr gel packs and they've been perfect for post-op recovery and keeping the swelling down - the 2hr ones in particular were nice to use for applying overnight before bed. These are super well made and durable, incredibly well priced, and perform better than any other cold wrap I've used in the past, so I can't recommend them enough -- will be buying more for sure just to have them on hand. As a runner, I'm much more apt to use cold therapy now after long runs, now that I have a more functional means for doing it. We even used a spare pack to help relieve the itch from an encounter with poison oak on a relative of mine while we waited for the antihistamines to kick in.

The Active back wrap is everything I hoped it would be! This wrap stretches around the body and holds the hot or cold pack exactly where it needs to be, and allows me to move about. The sizing choices are sm/med & lg/exlg. The sm/med wrap fit, but did not leave much room for the pack. It was exchanged it for the lg/exlg wrap which is VERY generous. The velcro tab on the wrap closes firmly and securely and keeps the hot or cold pack comfortably in place. This well designed back wrap is wonderful!
